## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live web search results on a pay-per-call basis without a subscription, especially within an agentic workflow using the x402 micropayment protocol. Prefer it when you want lightweight, on-demand web lookups billed per use in USDC rather than committing to a monthly API plan.
