What problem does it solve?
x402 eliminates the friction of discovering which third-party paid API endpoints to use and figuring out how to pay for them, so you can fetch paid capabilities quickly and correctly.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Search the paid API bazaar: Look up relevant services by keyword and filter by network, payment scheme, price, asset, and pay-to address.
- Inspect payment requirements: Discover the endpoint’s accepted method, price, payment schemes, network, and input/output schemas without paying.
- Make paid requests automatically: Call the endpoint while paying in USDC on Base, respecting max payment limits and required parameters.
Use case: You need a specific data enrichment or analysis endpoint but do not know which provider offers it or what it costs—search the bazaar, check requirements, then execute a paid call with the right HTTP method and JSON body.
Quick Start
Ask the AI to use x402 to search for a paid API for your task, check the best matching endpoint’s requirements, and then make a USDC-paid request to fetch the results.
