Get real supplier quotes
Describe what you want to buy, how much of it and where it has to land. A person contacts up to ten suppliers by phone and email, in English or Spanish, chases the ones who go quiet, and returns structured quotes: unit price, lead time, minimum order, incoterms, and who said what. Five business days, or the payment is returned. An agent can find two hundred suppliers in a minute and cannot get one of them to answer a question; this is that gap, closed by a person.

How it behaves
The decisions this service makes on your behalf, and the ones that end in a refusal. A 4xx is never settled, so a refusal costs you nothing.
| What you get back | One entry per supplier actually reached — price, lead time, MOQ, incoterms, contact and the date of the conversation — plus a note on who never replied. Poll GET /orders/{order_id} until status is delivered. |
| How long it takes | Five business days. Suppliers answer when they answer, and the chasing is most of the work. |
| If we cannot deliver | The USDC is returned in full and the refund transaction is recorded on the order. You are never charged for quotes that did not arrive. |
| When the queue is full | Answered 429 and not charged. One person carries this, and a promise we cannot keep is worth less than an honest refusal. |
| What this is not | Not a directory lookup and not a scrape. If a published price list would answer your question, scrape-markdown costs nine cents. |
| Size and time | Pages over 2 MB are refused with page too large. Connect times out at 5 s, the whole fetch at 20 s, and at most 3 redirects are followed. |
| Who we look like | Requests go out as BotTrunk/0.1 (+https://bottrunk.com/docs). Sites that block unknown agents will block this one. |
| Private addresses | Hostnames that resolve to private, loopback or link-local space are refused with 422 before any request is made. Do not point this at localhost or an intranet. |
| Method | POST only. A GET on the same path returns this page. |
Who does the work
A person, not a script. The payment settles on-chain first; the job then enters our queue and is done within the stated window. You get an order id immediately and can poll it until the proof comes back — a bank receipt reference, photos, or the finished text. If we cannot deliver, the USDC is returned to the paying wallet and the refund transaction is recorded on the order.
Input
| brief | string | What you want quoted: the specification, in your own words. |
| quantity | string | How many, in whatever unit the trade uses. |
| destination | string | Where the goods must be delivered or quoted to. |
| contact_email | string | Optional: emailed when the quotes are in. |
Output
| order_id | string | Token to poll at /orders/{order_id}. |
| status | string | pending until the quotes are in, then delivered. |
| eta | string | Fulfilment promise. |
| result | object | Quotes per supplier, once delivered. |
| status_url | string | Where to poll. |
