## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to query the Tempest Spotlight feature on the Whatchuneed platform via a simple free-text input and want structured spotlight results back, and when you are operating in an x402-compatible payment context at $0.20 USDC per call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'input' field returns a validation error
- Payment of 0.2 USDC not completed causes x402 payment-required rejection
- Malformed input string may return an empty or null result object
- Downstream Tempest service unavailability causes timeout or error status
- Overly vague input may return generic or low-quality spotlight data
