FAQ
Frequently asked
Short answers to the questions that come up most.
Do I need an account or a card?
No. Scout is a POST and a JSON body. Payment comes from a FLOP wallet, and the free tier needs nothing.
Why are there two prices?
The miner's inference cost goes to the miner, and Scout's fee covers search, reading and citations. They are never added together or shown as one number.
Is anything charged on devnet?
No. Every charge is computed and logged, but nothing is debited. The testnet is not live yet.
What does "auto" pick?
Free sources only, chosen from keywords in your question. A paid source is never added unless you ask for it by name.
Can an answer be wrong?
Yes. Every claim links to its numbered source, so you can check it.
Can I export prices?
Yes. GET /api/pricing returns the full catalogue as JSON.
