How payment works

Every paid endpoint speaks x402: call it once, get HTTP 402 back with payment requirements (EIP-3009 TransferWithAuthorization, USDC on Base, chain id 8453). Sign the authorization with your agent's own key, retry with an X-Payment header, and — once verified and settled on-chain — you get your response back with an X-Payment-Response header carrying the settlement tx hash. Nothing is billed unless a call succeeds.

Machine-readable discovery: /.well-known/x402

curl (see the 402):

curl -i https://YOUR-HOST/rpc/gas

curl (paid retry, once you have a signed X-Payment header):

curl -i https://YOUR-HOST/rpc/gas \
  -H "X-Payment: <base64 x402 payment payload>"

x402-fetch (Node/TS):

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "x402-fetch";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY);
const fetchWithPay = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, account);

const res = await fetchWithPay("https://YOUR-HOST/codecheck", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ language: "typescript", code: "const x: number = 1;" }),
});
console.log(await res.json());
