Generate full AI research reports asynchronously via Tako's deep research platform.
What it does
Tako's `/api/mpp/v1/reports/generate` endpoint triggers asynchronous generation of a comprehensive research report. You submit a natural-language research query as a JSON POST body, receive an HTTP 202 Accepted response, and then poll the companion `/api/mpp/v1/reports/status` endpoint (free, receipt-authenticated) until the report is ready. Reports are produced by Tako's AI research pipeline, which pulls from licensed, structured data sources and the web to deliver cited, visual, insight-driven deliverables.
Payment is handled via the MPP 402 flow using the Tempo method (pathUSD on chain 4217). The per-request price is approximately $5.50 (5,499,999 base units at 6 decimals). No signup or API key is required — callers authenticate purely through the payment receipt. The provider also covers transaction fees (feePayer: true).
Tako offers a broader suite of MPP endpoints including fast search (~$0.037), deep search (~$0.55), data visualization (~$0.037), chart editing (~$0.007), and ThinViz card creation (~$0.004). The report generation endpoint is the most expensive, reflecting the depth of research involved. Tako's platform emphasizes transparent methodology, source citations, and interactive visual outputs. Documentation is available at docs.tako.com.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Generating comprehensive investment or company analysis reports on demand
- —Producing market and macroeconomic research deliverables for strategy teams
- —Automating evidence-backed research reports for due diligence workflows
- —Building agent pipelines that produce polished, cited research documents without human intervention
- —Embedding report generation into internal tools for data and analytics teams
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents that need to produce structured, cited research reports programmatically
- —Research and strategy teams automating deep analysis workflows
- —Developers building data-intensive applications that require on-demand report generation
Not for
- —Quick, low-latency data lookups (use Tako's fast search endpoint instead)
- —Use cases requiring real-time streaming results (use the deep threads SSE endpoint instead)
- —Scenarios where $5.50 per report is cost-prohibitive for high-volume batch processing
Quick start
# 1. HEAD the endpoint to get the 402 challenge
curl -I -X HEAD https://tako.com/api/mpp/v1/reports/generate
# 2. Pay the Tempo challenge, obtain receipt
# 3. POST with receipt in Authorization header
curl -X POST https://tako.com/api/mpp/v1/reports/generate \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Payment <receipt>' \
-d '{"query": "Compare OpenAI and Anthropic revenue growth in 2025"}'Example
Request
{
"query": "Compare OpenAI and Anthropic revenue growth in 2025"
}Response
{
"jobId": "rpt_abc123xyz",
"status": "accepted",
"message": "Report generation started. Poll the status endpoint for results.",
"pollUrl": "/api/mpp/v1/reports/status?jobId=rpt_abc123xyz"
}Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is live (402 MPP challenge captured) with clear pricing and a documented OpenAPI entry, but the request/response schemas are untyped (generic `object`), no concrete field-level documentation or example payloads are provided, and the detailed docs at docs.tako.com were not crawled. The example request and response JSON are inferred, not sourced.
Warnings
- —Request body schema is untyped (generic object) — exact required fields are unknown and the example request is inferred.
- —Response schema is not documented; the example response is speculative.
- —Full developer documentation at docs.tako.com was not crawled; details may differ.
- —The currency address 0x20c0...8b50 on chain 4217 is assumed to be pathUSD with 6 decimals based on the Tempo method and OpenAPI price of $5.50; if decimals differ the actual price would change.
