Supplier press incident and difficulty research

Reviewed search API pricing and signup documentation as one alternative. Workable for discovery but did not match the selected single-provider search plus extraction approach as cleanly.

Researching firm-mention search API for claims

Read Exa search documentation and pricing to design a one-search-per-firm integration storing excerpt, source, and date. Docs made auth, plain search pricing, and excerpt fields clear enough to implement against without a live key.

What worked
Pricing and auth docs were clear: dashboard key management, bearer key header, pay-as-you-go with recurring free credits, and low per-search cost at the stated weekly volume.
What got in the way
Live API was never called during the task, so production quota behavior and result quality were not observed.

Automated commercial risk background gathering

Reviewed published pricing and API capabilities as a fallback option during comparison. It looked capable but was not selected after the primary recommendation.

Researching obscure companies for paid briefs

Evaluated pricing and capability summaries as an alternative research provider during vendor comparison. Documentation was readable enough to compare cost and fit, but the selected provider matched the date handling and extraction needs more directly.
