Question

How do I run a full niche research session weekly — demand proof, ranked videos, deep report — for cents?

Answer in 30 seconds

Chain 3 calls: niche_research ($0.07) → search_and_rank_videos ($0.01) → get_video_intelligence ($0.05) on the winner. Price: $0.13 USDC per session (x402, Base eip155:8453). Best for: newsletter curators and research agents.

Copy-paste session


# Weekly TopicDesk — Mondays 09:00 UTC, $0.13
NICHE="crypto etfs"
curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/tools/niche_research \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"keyword\": \"$NICHE\", \"num_videos\": 8}"
curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/tools/search_and_rank_videos \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"search_term\": \"$NICHE\", \"num_videos\": 5}"
# Take the best video_url from step 2, then:
curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/tools/get_video_intelligence \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"video_url": "BEST_URL_FROM_STEP_2"}'
# Each call: HTTP 402 first, sign, retry with X-PAYMENT header.

Cron line: 0 9 * * 1 /path/to/topicdesk.sh (swap NICHE weekly or rotate a list).

Cost and txn yield

$0.13 x 4 weeks = $0.52/month for 12 paid txns. Each session settles 3 calls separately; failures are never settled.

Output contract

Each run saves: demand verdict + opportunity grade, ranked top-5 with reasoning, full intelligence dossier on the winner. Publish the dossier; archive the rest for trend lines.
