How this service works
Ask one public-web research question. One request combines a bounded live web search, a concise AI answer with clickable citations, and independent reads of up to two cited sources with exact excerpts and hashes. At least one source read is required. Optional domain allowlist. One payment only after a recoverable result is saved; unavailable search or evidence never settles. Not exhaustive research or independent fact-checking.
Output
Returns a concise AI-generated answer to the research query, a set of clickable citations from live web search results, and direct reads of up to two cited source pages including exact text excerpts and content hashes for auditability. Payment is only charged after a recoverable result is saved; if search or evidence retrieval fails, no charge occurs.
Example use cases
Fact-check a statistic with sources
“Look up what percentage of the US population has a college degree, give me a cited AI answer, and pull exact quotes from at least one source page so I can verify the number myself — stick to .gov or .edu sites.”
Research a recent policy change
“Search the web for any changes to the EU AI Act enforcement timeline in 2025, summarize what you find with citations, and read one of the cited pages to give me exact excerpts about the key dates.”
Competitive landscape quick research
“Find out who the top three cloud storage providers are by market share right now, give me a concise AI answer with clickable sources, and read at least one of those sources to pull the actual market share numbers verbatim.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://instructional-decision-engine-x402.vercel.app/agent/research?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a grounded, citation-backed AI answer to a single factual or research question sourced from the live public web, with verifiable excerpts pulled directly from the cited pages. It is ideal when you need auditability (content hashes), domain-restricted research, or evidence that the AI answer is supported by real source text. Prefer it over generic LLM answers when source provenance matters, and over raw search APIs when you want synthesis plus verification in one atomic, pay-per-result call.
Side effects
- Query too vague or under 8 characters — rejected at input validation

- Web search returns no usable results — call fails without settlement
- Source pages return non-HTML or protected content — excerpt extraction fails
- publicDataConfirmed not set to true — request rejected
- Query exceeds 500-character limit — rejected at input validation
- Network or provider outage — call fails without payment settlement
