How this service works
VIA is a paid buyer-side router for AI agents and humans. Compare APIs, services, products and sourced research with x402 USDC payments on Base.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a recommended product or service title and its source, a list of alternative options, confirmation that payment was made (paid: true), the settlement network and transaction hash on Base, and the toll amount in USD ($0.01). The recommendation is grounded in sourced research across APIs, services, and products matching the stated intent.
Example use cases
Routing agent to best OCR API
“I'm building an agent that needs to extract text from scanned invoices — can you use VIA to find and compare the best OCR or document-reading APIs available right now?”
Discovering travel booking service
“My agent needs to book flights programmatically — use VIA to search the travel market and recommend the best flight booking API I can integrate, in English for US users.”
Finding B2B data enrichment tool
“I need a service that can enrich company profiles with firmographic data — can you query VIA across the services market to find the top recommendation with any alternatives?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://via-router.floot.app/_api/find_product?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use VIA Router when an AI agent or user needs to quickly identify and compare APIs, SaaS tools, or data services for a given task without manually searching marketplaces. It is especially valuable when the agent lacks prior knowledge of what services exist in a domain, needs a buyer-side recommendation (not just a search result), and can pay $0.01 USDC per query via x402 on Base. Prefer this over raw web search when you want structured, source-attributed product recommendations with alternatives.
Side effects
- Intent too vague or short (minLength: 2) — returns routing error
- Invalid market enum value — returns validation error
- Invalid country code (must be ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) — returns 400
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — x402 payment not settled, call rejected
- No matching product found for intent — returns empty alternatives array with null recommendation
- Unsupported language requested — returns validation error
