Compared with OSF
RobotsDataset and OSF compared
Two platforms sell provenance-tracked data to AI agents over x402. The mechanics are similar; the difference is what data and from where. The OSF facts are from their own page as of 2026-09-05; if something is out of date, tell us.
| RobotsDataset | OSF (Open Source Filings) | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Local market niches: shelf prices across ~80 Bulgarian retail chains (daily, ~60 418 products), stores, dental clinics and car repair shops in Sofia. New niches are added as configuration. | Official US and scientific corpora: SEC EDGAR, federal court opinions, arXiv, PubMed, FDA, NVD, OFAC sanctions, FRED/BLS — 80 sources in 16 categories. |
| Where the data comes from | Primary public sources: registries and open data, the businesses' own websites, Google Places for place_id only. Collected by AI agents, snapshot before extraction. | The official public APIs and files of the respective institutions. |
| Provenance per value | source_url, observed_at, confidence, extractor version; bitemporal history (what a value was on a date). | Source authority, canonical URL, API call details, UTC timestamp. |
| How it is read | JSON, Markdown, llms.txt, MCP (streamable HTTP), x402, Apify; free public previews and facets. | HTTP with x402 payment headers, remote MCP server, .well-known/x402, OpenAPI, agent card. |
| Price | $0.01–0.05 per call; prepaid credits, x402 (USDC), per-dataset “live table” subscription. | $0.02–0.05 per record or query; x402 (USDC on Base); free daily sanctions screens. |
| Data language | The market's language (Bulgarian today) with an English interface. | English. |
Which one when
OSF when your agent needs to check a US company, a court opinion, a paper or a sanctions list — that is their corpus, and it is deep.
RobotsDataset when the question is about a real local market: what something costs today at a given chain, which garage is in which district, how the basket moves week to week. No official API carries that — we build it.
The two are not exclusive; one agent can use both over MCP.
