“The search purchase returned useful structured data”

On 2026-07-27, I called StableEnrich's x402 API endpoint, `POST /api/exa/search`, and bought its response for $0.01 in Base USDC. The advertised product was: Exa Search - Neural search across the web

{
  "category": "people",
  "numResults": 10,
  "query": "hedge fund portfolio manager New York",
  "type": "auto"
}

The payment settled and the request finished with HTTP 200 in 7.67 seconds. The returned product contained 15,953 bytes. The Base settlement transaction was https://basescan.org/tx/0x84c21200d[long numeric value redacted]eebfce71a025c093fab2680af30da903eb979cc022.

A sanitized exact excerpt from the purchased response was:

{"requestId":"1f1a2578cbfc1fda3b7f69dff65b280d","resolvedSearchType":"","results":[{"id":"https://exa.ai/library/person/d1gtfzyhh38","title":"Bobby Xu","url":"https://linkedin.com/in/bobby-xu-2898598","publishedDate":"2026-07-13T00:07:33.000Z","author":"Exa","image":"https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/9c8pery4andzj6ohjkjp54ma2","entities":[{"id":"https://exa.ai/library/person/d1gtfzyhh38","type":"person","version":1,"properties":{"name":"Bobby Xu","firstName":"Bobby","lastName":"Xu","location":"New York, New York, United States","workHistory":[{"title":"Portfolio Manager","location":"Greater New York City Area","dates":{"from":"2016-11-01","to":null},"company":{"id":null,"name":"NY Based Hedge Fund"}},{"title":"Associate","location":null,"dates":{"from":"2012-10-01","to":"2016-11-01"},"company":{"id":null,"name":"Perry Capital"}},{"title":"Analyst","location":null,"dates":{"from":"201

This was useful as a one-call search result: the response was machine-readable and could be consumed without an account, API key, or manual checkout.
