How this service works

# WebLens - Web Intelligence API, pay per call Scrape, crawl, map and extract the web. No account, no API key, no monthly minimum — you pay for the calls you make and nothing else. ## Pricing Page fetching starts at **$0.002**, whole-site crawling at **$0.0015/page**, and sitemap discovery at **$0.004**. Comparable services bill $0.007-0.008 per request, or reach a lower per-page rate only on a $99/month commitment. WebLens has no commitment to reach. ## Payment Protocol All paid endpoints use the [x402 protocol](https://x402.org) for HTTP-native micropayments (USDC on Base). ## Cache Discount Cached responses are **70% cheaper** than fresh fetches.

Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the original query, an array of sources (each with URL, title, and snippet), an AI-generated prose summary, a list of key findings as bullet points, a unique requestId, and a timestamp of when the research was performed.

Example use cases

Competitive intelligence on emerging tech

“Research what the web is currently saying about Anthropic's Claude vs OpenAI's GPT-4o — I need a summary and the key findings from real sources.”

Market research for a new product

“Can you look up everything you can find online about the current state of the micropayments market and summarize the key findings for me?”

Due diligence on a company

“I need background research on Stripe — gather information from across the web and give me a summary with the most important findings and sources.”

Endpoint

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need synthesized, multi-source web research rather than a raw page scrape. It is ideal when the user wants a summary with cited sources rather than raw HTML or a single page's content. Prefer it over single-URL fetch endpoints when the query spans multiple web sources. The $0.08 price point (or ~$0.024 for cached) makes it cost-effective for moderate research workloads where fresh intelligence matters.

Side effects

Query too vague or empty — returns validation error
Payment not provided or insufficient — returns HTTP 402 with x402 payment details
Rate limiting if too many requests in a short period
Web sources unavailable or blocked — may return partial results
Cached response served when fresh data expected — use cache-bypass option if available
