x402 Paid API — utilities for AI agents, paid per call in USDC

Live: https://x402-api-phi.vercel.app · Dashboard: /dashboard

An HTTP API where AI agents pay per request via the x402 protocol (HTTP 402, USDC on Base mainnet). No accounts, no API keys: the agent gets 402 Payment Required with payment instructions, pays on-chain, retries with the payment proof, and the middleware verifies it through the Coinbase facilitator.

POST /api/tasks/complete	$0.001	Deliver the result — { id, result }
GET /api/tasks/status?id=	$0.001	Task status & result
POST /api/memory	$0.005	Agent memory: store JSON up to 64KB with TTL — { data, ttlDays? } → { key }
GET /api/memory/get?key=	$0.001	Read it back

Pay from an agent

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "x402-fetch";

// `account` is a viem wallet client holding USDC on Base
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, account);
const res = await payFetch("https://x402-api-phi.vercel.app/api/validate/iban", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ iban: "IT60X0542811101000000123456" }),
});
console.log(await res.json()); // { input, valid: true }

Run your own

cp .env.example .env   # set WALLET_ADDRESS (payments go here) and, for mainnet, CDP keys
npm install
npm start

Testnet (NETWORK=base-sepolia) works with the public facilitator, no keys needed. Mainnet (NETWORK=base) needs free CDP API keys. The taskboard/memory/scheduler need a Vercel Blob store (BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN).

Tests: node test.js (checksum vectors) · TEST_FREE=1 node index.js then node e2e.js (full lifecycle without paying, local only).

Honest limitations

Blob-backed storage is last-write-wins with eventually-consistent reads (fine at this scale — move to Redis when it matters). Scheduled callbacks are best-effort, at-most-once, no retries: they fire on the next dispatch after the due time (daily Vercel cron as a safety net; any hit on /api/stats or /api/cron/dispatch also drains the queue). Revenue on the dashboard counts all incoming USDC transfers to the wallet.
