Deep Web Research

Process

1. Understand the research goal
   • What question needs answering?
   • What type of sources matter? (news, academic, documentation, social, financial filings)
   • Any time constraints? (recent only, historical)
   • What format should the output be in?
2. Craft the research query Similar to scout queries, comprehensive research queries include:
   • Context on why this research matters
   • Specific questions to answer
   • Sources to prioritize
   • Output format expectations
3. Start the research task Use

   run_research_task

   with:

   • query

     : The research question with context

   • user_timezone

     : For time-relevant searches

   • output_fields

     : If structured output is needed (e.g., ["title", "summary", "source_url", "date"])
4. Poll for results
   • Important: Research typically takes 5-10 minutes (300-600 seconds)
   • Use

     get_research_task_result

     to check status
   • Poll every 30 seconds until

     succeeded

     or

     failed

   • The task runs asynchronously - you can inform the user to wait
5. Synthesize and present findings
   • Organize results by relevance
   • Highlight key insights
   • Note sources for verification
