How this service works
Pay-per-call search for agents: web search results (title, URL, snippet, domain, position; up to 20 per call, markets, safe search, paging), news search (headline, direct URL, publisher, published time, image; sort by date, freshness hour/day/week/month) and search autocomplete suggestions. Live from public search pages and feeds with automatic fallbacks (Bing RSS, Brave Search, Mwmbl, Google suggest, DuckDuckGo); every response names the source used. No keys, no accounts. USDC via x402; failed and empty calls are never charged. Payments: x402 v2, scheme "exact", USDC on Base (eip155:8453). The payment is verified before the work and settled only when the response is 200. Terms: https://search.scrapemole.workers.dev/terms
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the query, page, sort order, freshness filter, count, and source name (e.g. 'Bing News (public RSS)') plus a sourceUrl. The articles array contains up to 20 items each with: title, url, domain, snippet, position (1-based), published (ISO 8601 timestamp), and publisher name.
Example use cases

Endpoint
GEThttps://search.scrapemole.workers.dev/v1/news?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, timestamped news articles with publisher attribution and direct article URLs — especially when freshness matters (hour/day/week/month filters) or when you need to search a specific locale/market. It is better than a generic web search endpoint when the task is explicitly news-oriented and recency is important. The automatic multi-source fallback (Bing RSS → Brave → Mwmbl) makes it more reliable than single-source news APIs. Pay-per-call with no account or API key required makes it ideal for low-friction agent pipelines.
Side effects
- Query string missing or empty — returns 400 error, no charge
- No articles found for query — returns empty articles array, no charge
- Upstream sources temporarily unavailable — fallback chain exhausted, may return empty result
- Invalid freshness or sort enum value — returns 400 validation error
- Page out of range (>5) — may return empty results
- Payment not provided or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required before any work is done
