x402 web search API alternatives for agents

Search is one of the busiest x402 categories. This page separates the real search offers from Delx's bounded extraction tools, so an agent never pays for the wrong capability.

Prices and quality fields come from the Coinbase Bazaar discovery API. Calls and payers are trailing-30-day quality signals, not Delx revenue.

Honest read

Where Delx wins — and where it does not

Exact search: Delx does not currently offer general web or X/Twitter search. The discovery endpoint returns no payable recommendation for that request.
Useful adjacent work: website intelligence, page extraction and docs mapping fetch bounded, user-specified URLs.
Why not proxy a leader: a provider resale right, dedicated payer cap, refund path and margin-positive wholesale price are not verified. A lower price alone would not make it a reliable product.
