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 scopeapi-dev-deep-multi-source-web-research-e3ccd30d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Research the latest advances in solid-state battery technology across multiple web sources and give me a synthesized summary with findings and citations — focus on commercial viability and key players in the space.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need broad, synthesized research from multiple web sources rather than a single answer or a single page scrape. It is best suited for open-ended research questions requiring aggregation across many sites, evidence-backed findings, and citation lists. Prefer it over simple web answer endpoints when depth and multi-source corroboration matter more than speed.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns minimal findings
- Topic with little web coverage returns sparse sources list
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns non-200 status
- Highly niche or very recent topics may yield incomplete findings
- Malformed request body missing required 'query' field returns validation error

## How this service works

Perform deep web research on any topic using multiple current sources. Returns a detailed research report with citations, source URLs, evidence, conflicting information, uncertainty, and a source-backed synthesis.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a status field, a list of sources (URLs and metadata), and a list of findings (synthesized research conclusions drawn from those sources), providing a structured multi-source research report on the queried topic.
