The Problem
An r/HalalInvestor post released Yassir v0.1.0 — an OSS Shariah-compliant research agent. Its stack used four web-search vendors (Brave + Tavily + Exa + Perplexity) plus HalalTerminal for fundamentals, paying for redundant infrastructure.
The Scavio Solution
Consolidate the four web-search vendors to Scavio. Reddit and YouTube layers replace some redundancy at zero incremental vendor count. Keep Polygon.io or HalalTerminal for fundamentals.
Before
4 web-search vendors + 1 fundamentals vendor + LLM = 5+ credentials and ~$100-200/mo combined.
After
Scavio + Polygon.io + LLM = 3 credentials and ~$60-100/mo combined.
Who It Is For
Halal finance research teams, Shariah-compliance product builders, indie OSS finance contributors.
Key Benefits
- 50% credential reduction
- Lower per-query cost than the four-vendor chain
- Reddit retail-sentiment layer
- Pairs with Polygon.io free tier for fundamentals
- Shariah filter applied at LLM step, not at vendor
Python Example
import os, requests
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}
def research(ticker):
return {
'web': requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', headers=H, json={'query': f'{ticker} 2026 financials'}).json(),
'reddit': requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/reddit/search', headers=H, json={'query': ticker}).json(),
}JavaScript Example
const H = { 'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' };
async function research(ticker) {
const [w, r] = await Promise.all([
fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', { method:'POST', headers:H, body: JSON.stringify({ query: `${ticker} 2026 financials` }) }).then(r => r.json()),
fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/reddit/search', { method:'POST', headers:H, body: JSON.stringify({ query: ticker }) }).then(r => r.json())
]);
return { w, r };
