How this service works
The AI will perform actions like searching and browsing web pages to find the answer to the provided task. Execution time is 3-30s depending upon complexity. For longer tasks, use the agent endpoint instead.
Output
A structured JSON object matching the schema provided by the caller (or a default structure if none is given), populated with the answer found by autonomously searching and browsing the web. The response reflects information gathered from live web pages within the 3–30 second execution window.
Example use cases
Real-time competitor pricing research
“Search the web for the current pricing of Salesforce CRM's starter plan and return it as JSON with fields for plan name, monthly price, and annual price.”
Latest news summarization
“Find the latest news about OpenAI from the past 24 hours and give me a JSON summary with fields for headline, publication date, and source.”
Business contact lookup
“Search the web to find the headquarters address and CEO name for Stripe Inc., and return the result as JSON with fields for company name, address, and CEO.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.orthogonal.com/olostep/v1/answersWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, structured answer sourced from live web browsing in under 30 seconds. It is ideal for factual lookups, pricing checks, news retrieval, or any task where a human would normally open a browser and search. Prefer the sibling agent endpoint for multi-step tasks that require longer processing. Use this over a raw scraping endpoint when you need the AI to interpret and synthesize information rather than return raw HTML.
Side effects
- Task is too ambiguous for the agent to resolve — returns vague or empty result
- Web pages are paywalled or blocked — agent cannot access content and may return incomplete data
- Execution times out for highly complex tasks — use the agent endpoint for longer tasks instead
- Requested JSON schema fields cannot be populated from available web sources — fields may be null or missing
- Rate limiting or payment failure causes the call to be rejected with a 402 error
