## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://scout.hugen.tokyo/scout/awesome
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14

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 scout-multi-source-intelligence-api-awesome-search-8b331570
```

Example prompt: Search across Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, Stack Overflow, arXiv, and all other Scout platforms for everything about 'Rust async runtimes' and give me a synthesized report on what the developer community is saying right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need cross-platform intelligence in a single call rather than querying each platform's API individually. Ideal for research tasks requiring breadth across developer communities, academic sources, package registries, and social platforms simultaneously. Prefer this over single-platform APIs when the user needs a comprehensive view of how a topic, tool, library, or project is discussed across the entire tech ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not sent or insufficient USDC — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid or missing query parameter — returns 400 Bad Request
- One or more upstream platforms temporarily unavailable — partial results returned
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429
- Deep research synthesis timeout — AI synthesis may be omitted from response

## How this service works

Curated x402 ecosystem directory — 277 human-reviewed projects: SDKs, production APIs, facilitators, agent frameworks, tools. Spam-filtered alternative to Bazaar (13K entries, 85% spam). Search by keyword or browse by category. Accepts USDC payments on Base and Solana

## Output

A JSON response containing aggregated search results from up to 19+ platforms including Reddit threads, GitHub repos, Stack Overflow Q&As, arXiv papers, npm/PyPI packages, YouTube videos, blog posts, and an optional AI-synthesized deep research report summarizing findings across all sources.
