Run a web search without a separate search API subscription. Returns titles, URLs, and snippets only — not full page text; follow with readfetch_text, readfetch_probe, or readfetch_scrape on a chosen result URL. `limit` is 1–20 (default 5). Optional `lang` biases locale (e.g. en, de-DE). Optional `tbs` filters recency: h= past hour, d= day, w= week, m= month, y= year. Use readfetch_map/readfetch_crawl when you already know the site; readfetch_* URL tools when you have the lin

Provider

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.

Live 402 challenge

Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service readfetch.com and tell me whether it is
worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what
its payment record actually shows.

curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=readfetch.com'
curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>'

Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://readfetch.com/v1/search, never from
a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client.

The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except
/v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Either pay over x402 (mint a personal key for $0.01 at
GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402), or ask me for an organization key, which I create at
https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/connections. If you have neither, ask before going further.

If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read
https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
