Batch results
When one task researches multiple products, the response contains a researchResults array:
{
"status": "complete",
"taskId": "<TASK_ID>",
"taskUrl": "https://agents.sibi.ai/agents/<AGENT_ID>/tasks/<TASK_ID>",
"researchResults": [
{
"label": "Kitchen refrigerator",
"index": 1,
"productBeingReplaced": {
"manufacturer": "GE",
"model": "GTS18GTHWW",
"description": "Top-freezer refrigerator",
"specifications": "...",
"imageUrl": "https://example.com/source.jpg"
},
"candidateReplacements": []
},
{
"label": "Laundry appliance",
"index": 2,
"error": "Could not identify the supplied model."
}
]
}
index is the one-based position of the item in the original request. label identifies the item Research Agent processed. Results are ordered by index when an index is available.
A mixed batch can contain successful results and item-level errors while the task itself is complete. Check each entry for error before reading its product fields.
Failed tasks
A task-level failure returns status: "failed" and a top-level error:
{
"status": "failed",
"taskId": "<TASK_ID>",
"taskUrl": "https://agents.sibi.ai/agents/<AGENT_ID>/tasks/<TASK_ID>",
"error": "Task failed: <ERROR_MESSAGE>"
}
