How to start

Sign up and get $10 of credit, no card. Describe the businesses you need: the kind, the cities, the conditions and the fields, email or phone included. Read the request back, approve the most the run can cost, and the rows arrive with the source on each value.

Or send the request from code. This call spends nothing: the 402 reply shows how SpecStream read the request, the columns and the most it can cost.

curl -i https://api.specstream.ai/v1/agent/lists \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"request": "Every physiotherapy clinic in Manchester, UK rated 4.5 or higher, with the address, phone, website and the email from its own site", "count": 25}'

Approve that maximum by card through Stripe's Link agent wallet, or in USDC on Base, Arbitrum or Polygon, and you pay for the rows found. On an account, your agent uses the MCP server at https://api.specstream.ai/mcp and your team uses the workspace, from the same balance. Already have places from a scraper? Deep Search fills in or checks each row of a list you bring.
