How this service works
Independent measurement and scoring of the Sentinel dVPN network. Pay per call in USDC over x402 — no account, no API key, no signup.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the top recommended Sentinel dVPN node (address, moniker, city, country, ASN, composite score, uptime %, download/upload speeds in Mbps, price per GB and per hour, residential flag, protocol, SLA pass/fail, jurisdiction freedom score, censorship resistance level) plus up to 3 alternative nodes and the total active node count on the network.
Example use cases
Privacy-first residential node selection
“I need a residential Sentinel dVPN node optimized for privacy — can you recommend the top-scored one and tell me its uptime, price per GB, and jurisdiction freedom score?”
Fastest node for streaming in Germany
“Find me the fastest Sentinel dVPN node available in Germany, I need maximum download speed and want to see the composite score and protocol it uses.”
Cheapest node for budget VPN access
“I'm on a tight budget — which Sentinel dVPN node has the best composite score at the lowest price? Show me the cheapest option with its reliability and speed stats.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://nodescorecard.xyz/scorecard/recommend?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need an AI-agent-friendly, scored recommendation for a Sentinel dVPN node — especially when filtering by use-case need (privacy, residential, speed, censorship bypass, price) or geography. Prefer this over raw node lists when you want independent third-party scoring and composite metrics rather than self-reported node data. Ideal for automated VPN node selection workflows that require no API key or account setup.
Side effects
- Unrecognized 'need' keyword falls back to general composite score ranking
- 'country' filter returns empty results if no active nodes exist in that country
- Network measurement data may be stale if node sampling is infrequent
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 without a recommendation
- Invalid query parameter types may result in 400 Bad Request
