## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need evidence-grounded answers tied to specific public URLs rather than a general web search. It is ideal for competitive intelligence, due diligence, or any scenario where you must cite exact sources and need a confidence-scored, structured result. Prefer it over generic search APIs when the URLs are already known and source traceability matters.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 status
- Research question too broad for the supplied URLs to answer with confidence
- Insufficient evidence flag raised when sources don't contain enough information
- More than six URLs provided, exceeding the input limit
- Payment failure if USDC balance on Base mainnet is insufficient
- Source content is behind a login or paywall, preventing retrieval

## How this service works

Evidence-backed public-source research and competitive intelligence for autonomous agents. Calls are paid with $0.10 USDC on Base mainnet using x402 v2.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing source-grounded research findings, source metadata (URLs fetched), a confidence score, any insufficient-evidence flags, along with service metadata such as network, price paid, and facilitator details.
