# ProspectPulse Exploration Snapshot

> ProspectPulse Exploration Snapshot is a paid API for AI agents from prospectpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a deterministic, facts-only data snapshot for a mineral exploration target including USGS MRDS deposit counts, geochemical anomaly stats, satellite scene availability, World Bank governance score, and GDELT social-license signal.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability prospectpulse-exploration-snapshot-1f1adfff
```

Example prompt: Give me a quick facts-only snapshot for a copper exploration target in the Atacama region of Chile — I want the USGS MRDS deposit count, geochemical anomaly stats, available satellite scenes, World Bank governance score, and GDELT social-license signal, no interpretation.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, deterministic, no-frills data pull for an exploration target without paying for or waiting on AI-synthesized analysis. It is ideal for pre-screening many targets in bulk at low cost ($0.25/call), comparing raw metrics across jurisdictions, or validating data availability before purchasing the full /api/prospect/exploration-brief report. Choose this over the full brief when you only need raw numbers and will apply your own analysis layer.

## Known failure modes

- Target area too vague or unresolvable — returns error on location parsing
- Jurisdiction not covered by World Bank governance data — governance score field returns null
- No USGS MRDS records exist for the specified region — deposit count returns zero
- GDELT signal unavailable for low-media-coverage regions — social-license field may be absent
- Rate limiting or payment failure — 402 payment required response

## How this service works

Deterministic facts-only snapshot for exploration targets: USGS MRDS deposit counts, geochemical anomaly stats, satellite scene availability, World Bank jurisdiction governance score, and GDELT social-license signal — raw numbers, no AI synthesis. Lite-tier preview of /api/prospect/exploration-brief.

## Output

A structured, raw-numbers-only response containing: USGS MRDS deposit count for the target area, geochemical anomaly statistics from national databases, available Sentinel/Landsat satellite scene count, World Bank governance score for the jurisdiction, and GDELT-derived social-license sentiment signal. No AI interpretation or narrative synthesis is included — this is a lite-tier preview of the full exploration-brief endpoint.
