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 containing a recommendation with title and official source, up to three alternative sources, the payment settlement details (network and transaction hash on Base), the toll cost in USD, and a confirmation that payment was made.

Example use cases

Researching official regulatory information

“I need an official source on data privacy regulations for businesses operating in Germany — search the information market in English and give me a verified recommendation.”

Finding authoritative product sources

“Can you find me official sources about project management software options? Look in the services market and give me the top recommendation with alternatives.”

Sourcing travel information from authorities

“I'm planning a trip and need official travel advisories and information for Brazil — search the travel market in English and point me to the authoritative sources.”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://via-router.floot.app/_api/official_sources_research?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need a sourced, authoritative recommendation backed by official references rather than a raw API or software comparison. It is distinct from VIA API Compare in that it focuses on official sources and research outputs, not just API/service comparisons. Ideal for agents that need to cite credible sources or deliver verified information to users, especially when operating in regulated or information-sensitive domains.

Side effects

Intent too vague or too short (minLength:2 not met) — returns validation error
Unsupported market enum value — returns schema validation error
Invalid country code format (not ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) — returns pattern mismatch error
No matching official sources found for the intent — returns empty alternatives and null recommendation
Payment failure or x402 settlement error — transaction not confirmed, request not fulfilled
Rate limiting or service unavailability — HTTP 429 or 503 response
