Scavio for Vertical Mini-Perplexity Research

The Problem

An r/buildinpublic post launched Olivepress (Perplexity-like for stocks using FRED/FMP). Wrap-Perplexity products have no defensibility; vertical curation does.

How Scavio Helps

• Source discipline = trust
• Scavio fills SERP/Reddit gaps authoritative sources miss
• Chart layer differentiates from text-only
• Per-product-month MVP <$100
• Defensible via curation

Relevant Platforms

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "TICKER analysis → FRED macro + FMP fundamentals + SEC filings + Scavio Reddit/news → LLM cites [N] per claim → render charts as native tool calls":

import requests

API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
    headers={
        "x-api-key": API_KEY,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query},
)

data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
    print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
    print(f"   {result['link']}\n")

Built for Founders shipping niche research products, content sites going deep in one vertical, builders avoiding wrapper-of-wrapper traps

Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your vertical mini-perplexity research solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
