# SqueezeOS Web Research API — Single Call

> SqueezeOS Web Research API — Single Call is a paid API for AI agents from squeezeos-api.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Searches the public web and extracts source content for a given query in a single x402-paid API call

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://squeezeos-api.onrender.com/api/web/research/once
- Price: $0.003/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/squeezeos-web-research-api-single-call-b93f1d23
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_1R3Vd8K2BU_J-DI-Gk__N

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 squeezeos-web-research-api-single-call-b93f1d23
```

Example prompt: Search the web for 'latest FDA drug approval process changes 2024' and extract the full text from the top 2 sources so I can read the actual evidence.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its reasoning in real, live public web sources with a single low-cost call. It is ideal for one-shot research tasks where both search and content extraction are needed together, rather than calling a search API and a scraper separately. At $0.003 per call with x402 micropayment support, it suits agentic workflows that need pay-per-use economics without subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Query string missing or empty — 400 error returned
- fetch_count or search_count out of supported range (1-3) — parameter ignored or clamped
- Target page blocks automated access — extraction returns empty or partial content
- Payment not accepted or x402 handshake fails — 402 response, no content returned
- Service cold-start latency on Render free tier — occasional timeout on first request

## How this service works

Web research API for AI agents — search the public web and safely extract source evidence in one $0.003 accepted-delivery x402 call.

## Output

A JSON object containing extracted text content from one to three public web pages that matched the query, along with source URLs and evidence snippets suitable for agent reasoning or citation.
