How this service works
Web search with a grounded answer and source links (Google Search). Searches the live web with Google Search and returns a concise factual answer plus the source pages (title and real URL) and the queries used. Good for current facts, prices, news and docs.
Output
A JSON object containing a synthesized natural-language answer to the query and an array of source objects, each with a URL and title, drawn from up to 15 web pages. The answer is grounded in the retrieved sources with supporting quotes where available.
Example use cases
Real-time fact lookup for research
“Search the web for the current corporate tax rate in Germany and summarize what you find with sources, checking up to 10 pages.”
Competitive pricing intelligence
“Look up the current pricing plans for Notion and give me a concise answer with citations — check up to 8 sources.”
Breaking news summary
“Search the web for the latest news on the merger between Nippon Steel and US Steel and give me a grounded answer with references.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://sift.srv1996466.hstgr.cloud/v1/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a grounded, citation-backed answer to a factual or current-events question and want a synthesized response rather than raw HTML. It is ideal for agents that need live web data without scraping individual pages manually. Prefer it over /v1/fetch or /v1/ask when you do not already have a specific URL in mind and need broad web coverage. At $0.06 per call with pay-only-on-success pricing via x402 on Base, it suits cost-sensitive agent pipelines where reliability matters.
Side effects
- Query shorter than 2 or longer than 400 characters returns a validation error
- No relevant web sources found returns an empty sources array or low-confidence answer
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) results in no charge and no response
- Rate limiting or upstream search provider outage returns a non-200 error (no charge applied)
- Highly ambiguous or nonsensical queries may return a generic or unhelpful answer
