Company Research Job

$1.50 per job, one single payment x402 · USDC on Base no account, no API key

Status, stated plainly: the single-payment job endpoint is LIVE since 2026-10-31 — POST https://api.mekongtradeintel.com/companyresearch/, $1.50 in USDC on Base, first call each day trial-served free. The same three endpoints it orchestrates also stay on sale individually ($0.08 total). One honest launch note: our own published self-test settlement of the $1.50 path is still pending a top-up of the fleet's test wallet (it holds less than $1.50 today) — funded buyers are answered normally; we publish our test evidence, so we say so. Nothing on this page is a mock.

Section	Source endpoint	What you get
Web landscape	websearch	Latest web results for the company — news, product and funding signals, with titles, links and snippets.
Company footprint	enrich	Domain facts: homepage metadata, DNS (MX/NS/SPF), WHOIS (registrar, creation date), SEC EDGAR lookup.
Briefing	brief	A morning-brief synthesis on the company: current news items, search-trend interest, and headline sentiment.
Stitched pack	the job	All three sections in one response, plus a research_summary block (headline signals, footprint facts, sentiment) and a partial_failures list — if one source fails, you still get the rest, and the failure is named, never hidden.

Reference workflow (Python, runs end-to-end and prints its own cost accounting): company_research_job.py --company "Coinbase" --domain coinbase.com --geo US. The same three calls, raw:

curl -X POST "https://api.mekongtradeintel.com/websearch/" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"Coinbase latest news products funding","num":5}'

curl -X POST "https://api.mekongtradeintel.com/enrich/" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain":"coinbase.com"}'

curl -X POST "https://api.mekongtradeintel.com/brief/" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"topic":"Coinbase company research","geo":"US"}'

First calls from a fresh IP are trial-served free (per-IP daily quota). Paid, the chain costs $0.010 + $0.020 + $0.050 = $0.08. The job endpoint replaces these three payments with one $1.50 payment — what the difference buys is itemised under “Price, honestly” below.

Coinbase / coinbase.com, all three endpoints HTTP 200, cost $0.00 (trial). Excerpt:

The raw chain costs $0.08. The job is $1.50. The $1.42 difference is not the data — it buys:

• One payment instead of three — one signature, one settlement, no per-call wallet choreography across three services.
• Orchestration — the three calls are fanned out server-side in parallel, with retries and timeout handling; component failure degrades the pack, it does not fail your payment after settlement.
• A decision-shaped output — a stitched research_summary (signals, footprint facts, sentiment) next to the raw sections, instead of three unrelated JSON blobs your agent must reconcile.
• One throat to choke — one endpoint, one schema, one receipt for the whole research task.

This is the fleet's job-endpoint pattern: the token due-diligence pack (POST /tokendd, $1.50) already sells four components listing $0.046 in total the same way — buyers pay for the finished job, not the parts. If all you want is one part, buy the part — the components stay on sale individually, above, at their list prices.
