unprobed
Search Paul Graham's source corpus — a source-grounded persona of the Y Combinator co-founder and essayist, built from 13,000+ cited sources: his complete essays, talks, interviews, and X posts — by semantic + lexical query and retrieve grounded packets (graded claims, quotes, evidence with citations). POST a JSON body { query, limit? (<=100), packetTypes? }. Flat micro-price per query.
Verdict: not verified by an unpaid GET. not probed yet. This says nothing about whether the route works when called as declared.
