SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers scaffold Next.js API routes with deterministic x402 micropayment middleware, enabling controlled access to data endpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

API route scaffolding: Generate standardized Next.js API route templates with built-in validation and error handling.
x402 micropayment integration: Apply a reusable payment gate that verifies required payments before serving data.
Use Case: Build public or protected endpoints for real-time solar data, carbon intensity, and geocoding, ensuring payments are handled consistently.

Quick Start

Use the api-route skill to create a new Next.js API route at /api/solar/irradiance with x402 protection enabled.

FAQPage Schema

How do I add x402 micropayments to Next.js API routes?▼

You can add x402 micropayments to Next.js API routes by using a reusable middleware pattern that verifies required payments before serving data, ensuring access control is handled consistently across endpoints. This Skill automates scaffolding that payment gate.

What is the best way to enforce GET requests and input validation for Next.js API endpoints?▼

The best way to enforce GET requests and input validation is to generate standardized Next.js API route templates with built-in validation, error handling, and caching headers, which ensures deterministic data access control for endpoints like solar irradiance or geocoding.

Can I use x402 middleware for data endpoints like carbon intensity and geocoding?▼

Yes, you can use x402 middleware for data endpoints like carbon intensity and geocoding. It applies a reusable payment gate that verifies required micropayments before serving protected data, ensuring controlled access for real-time data APIs.

Does this API route scaffolding handle error handling and caching headers automatically?▼

Yes, this API route scaffolding handles error handling and caching headers automatically. It generates standardized Next.js API route templates that satisfy GET enforcement and input validation alongside the x402 micropayment integration.

Why use x402 micropayments for API access control instead of traditional authentication?▼

Using x402 micropayments for API access control enables deterministic, pay-per-request data retrieval without requiring user accounts or tokens. It applies a reusable payment gate to verify required payments before serving data from endpoints.

When should I not use x402 micropayments for my API endpoints?▼

You should not use x402 micropayments for API endpoints if your workflow does not require pay-per-request access control or if your data endpoints are fully public. It is specifically designed for controlled access to valuable data like solar data and carbon intensity.
