Save the returned deepresearch_id. Poll Get status until the task completes, then read the report and download the CSV from deliverables.

How it works

Search each ingredient with grade, manufacturer and local-language variants. Keep trade names separate from chemical identities.

Read original product pages and technical documents. Record whether the company explicitly calls itself the manufacturer, a distributor, or neither.

Produce one row per ingredient-product-company relationship. Preserve competing matches and missing identifiers instead of merging them.

To build the workflow inside your own agent, use Search to find sources and Contents to read selected pages. Keep the CSV fields above as your extraction schema.
