## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs live, real-time web search results that go beyond static training data — especially for current events, recent news, live prices, or any query requiring up-to-date information from across the web. It is part of PayForAPI's resale suite and is backed by the OneShot upstream provider, making it suitable for AI agent pipelines that need pay-per-query web access at low cost ($0.01 per call).

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query may return no useful results
- Query about very niche or obscure topics may yield poor-quality results
- Upstream OneShot provider outage could cause failed or degraded responses
- Rate limits or payment failure ($0.01 USDC per call) may cause request rejection
- Malformed input object may result in a 400 error or empty response
