When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent or human needs sourced, curated recommendations for APIs, services, products, or information across multiple market verticals, and wants a single authoritative answer with alternatives — especially when paying micro-amounts via x402 USDC on Base is acceptable and the agent lacks its own discovery layer.

Side effects

Invalid or too-short intent string (minLength 2) returns validation error
Unsupported market enum value causes schema rejection
Country code not matching ^[A-Z]{2}$ pattern causes rejection
Payment failure on x402 protocol returns unpaid/settlement error
No relevant results found may return empty alternatives array
