How this service works

Search the Web

Output

An array of up to 20 web page results, each containing the page title, URL, a content snippet, publication date, and last-updated date, plus a response ID and server timestamp.

Example prompt

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://pplx.x402.paysponge.com/search?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need live web search results with actual page content snippets and metadata (dates, URLs) rather than a conversational AI-generated answer. Ideal for research tasks requiring source attribution, recency filtering, or domain-scoped searches. Prefer over the Agent/Sonar endpoints when you want raw search results rather than a synthesized response.

Side effects

Query missing — returns 422 if 'query' field is absent
Country code invalid — must be exactly 2-character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
Date filter format errors — dates must be supplied as MM/DD/YYYY
Domain filter exceeds 20 entries — returns validation error
Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.01 USDC not fulfilled, returns 402
max_results out of range — must be between 1 and 20
Language code invalid — must be 2-character ISO 639-1 codes
