How this service works
A full Markdown report on a topic you specify, researched on the live web at the time of the request, with every source linked. As long as the topic needs, never cut short. Typically 2-4 minutes; allow 360 s before giving up. POST {"topic":"..."}.
Output
A synthesized written research report covering the requested topic, including gathered facts, analysis, key findings, and relevant context — returned as structured or prose text output from the autonomous SWARM agent.
Example use cases
Competitive landscape research report
“I need a research report on the top five competitors in the B2B SaaS CRM space — who they are, their pricing models, strengths, and weaknesses. Can you get that for me using SWARM?”
Due diligence on emerging technology
“Can you use SWARM to pull together a deep-dive report on quantum computing hardware startups that have raised funding in the last two years, covering their tech approach and key investors?”
Policy and regulatory overview
“I need a research report on the current regulatory landscape for stablecoins in the EU and US — what rules exist, what's pending, and how they differ. Can you run that through SWARM?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://swarm-agent.net/services/report?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need on-demand AI research reports without the overhead of account creation, API key management, or subscriptions. It is ideal for one-off or infrequent research tasks where paying $2 per call in USDC is preferable to a monthly subscription, and where the caller has access to a Base-compatible crypto wallet for x402 micropayments.
Side effects
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance on Base results in a 402 response and no report generated
- Overly vague or ambiguous research topic may produce a low-quality or off-target report
- Network or agent timeout for complex topics may result in no response or partial output
- Unsupported or extremely niche topics may yield thin results if the agent cannot locate sufficient sources
