## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deep, multi-source research on a topic rather than a single search query. It is ideal when the user wants a comprehensive synthesis of information from across the web, not just a list of links. Prefer over Tavily Search when breadth and analysis matter, and over Extract when you don't already have specific URLs to pull from.

## Known failure modes

- Topic too vague or ambiguous resulting in low-quality search results
- Rate limit exceeded returning 429 error
- Insufficient USDC balance causing payment failure
- No relevant sources found for highly niche or obscure topics
- Timeout if topic requires extremely broad research coverage
