# ProspectPulse Geochemical Anomaly Query

> ProspectPulse Geochemical Anomaly Query is a paid API for AI agents from prospectpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.15/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Queries the USGS National Geochemical Database for a region and returns AI-interpreted element anomalies, pathfinder suites, and deposit-type signatures for mineral exploration.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://prospectpulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/prospect/geochemical-anomaly
- Price: $0.15/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/prospectpulse-geochemical-anomaly-query-d736ea28
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_ERhtU_zcd0El8PkSxvKKv

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-geochemical-anomaly-query-d736ea28
```

Example prompt: Pull the geochemical anomaly data for the Battle Mountain district in Nevada and tell me which elements are anomalous, what pathfinder suites are present, and whether the signature looks more like a porphyry copper or epithermal gold system.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI exploration or geology agent needs geochemical evidence to rank or characterize mineral targets in the United States, particularly when correlating anomaly patterns to specific deposit types. Ideal over generic database queries because it combines raw USGS data retrieval with AI interpretation of pathfinder suites and deposit signatures in a single call. Prefer over remote sensing endpoints when subsurface geochemical evidence is more relevant than surface spectral data.

## Known failure modes

- No USGS geochemical sample coverage in queried region — returns empty or sparse dataset
- Region coordinates malformed or out of bounds — returns 400 validation error
- Deposit type not recognized in classification schema — returns null signature match
- Insufficient sample density for statistically meaningful anomaly detection — returns low-confidence warning
- API payment authorization failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

USGS National Geochemical Database query plus AI interpretation for exploration and geology agents. Returns element anomalies, pathfinder suites, and deposit-type signatures for any region.

## Output

Returns a structured report of geochemical element anomalies detected in the queried region, identified pathfinder suites associated with specific deposit types (e.g. Au-As-Sb-Hg for epithermal gold), deposit-type signature matches with confidence scores, and an AI-generated interpretive narrative for exploration targeting — all derived from USGS National Geochemical Database records.
