How this service works
15 pay-per-call endpoints for AI agents: tokenized-asset candles, SEC filings, earnings, US macro, web search, page reader, paywall unlock, screenshots. USDC on Base via x402. No API keys, no signup.
Output
Returns the extracted readable text content of the requested URL, up to the specified max_chars limit. Content is token-efficient and cleaned for AI consumption, stripped of HTML boilerplate. Paywalled pages are unlocked where possible.
Example use cases
Reading paywalled news for research
“Grab the full text of this Bloomberg article for me — https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/some-story — I need the complete content even if it's behind a paywall, up to 80000 characters.”
Summarizing a long web report
“Fetch the content of this government report page at https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm and return up to 100000 characters so I can summarize the key employment figures.”
Monitoring competitor press releases
“Read the full text of this press release at https://ir.somecompany.com/news-releases/news-release-details/q3-earnings and extract the content so I can pull out the earnings numbers.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.agentnewsstand.com/v1/unlockWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when your agent needs to read the full text of a specific web page or article — especially when the page may be behind a paywall — and you want a clean, token-efficient text extraction without managing browser automation. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when paywall bypass is needed, or when you want to avoid the overhead of a headless browser. The x402/USDC micropayment model (no API keys required) makes it ideal for autonomous agents that need to call it on-demand without pre-registration.
Side effects
- URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 status — endpoint may return an error or empty content
- Paywall cannot be bypassed for certain premium publishers — partial or no content returned
- max_chars limit exceeded by actual content — content will be truncated at the specified limit
- Invalid or malformed URL provided — validation error returned
- Rate limiting or network timeouts for slow-loading pages
