How this service works
Animica Python Cloud: deploy a Python function to animica.dev, get a public endpoint, and earn ANM every time someone runs it. Free AI (OpenAI-compatible, no key), free scheduled Workers, and an 80/20 developer split.
Output
Returns a recommended price per call derived from the observed distribution of comparable listings, along with the comparable listings themselves, the caller's rank if a current price was provided, the delta between current and recommended price, and optionally an ML-DSA-65 cryptographic attestation binding the recommendation to the index snapshot used.
Example use cases
Pricing a new AI extraction API
“I'm launching an entity extraction endpoint on Animica that pulls people, locations and dates from text. My cost per call is $0.003 — what's the median market price for something like that, and what margin would I make? Show me 10 comparables using the match strategy.”
Checking if current price is competitive
“I'm currently charging $0.008 per call for my sentiment analysis API on Animica. Can you tell me where that ranks in the market and how far off I am from the recommended price? Use the match strategy and show 15 comparables.”
Targeting a premium price tier
“I want to position my OCR-to-structured-data API in the top 10% of the Animica market — what price should I set? My capability is converting scanned invoices to JSON, and I want an ML-DSA-65 attestation on the recommendation.”

POSThttps://animica.dev/x402/market/pricingWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a data-driven price recommendation for an x402 API endpoint based on real market data from the Animica index. It is purpose-built for Animica/x402 ecosystem pricing and provides percentile-ranked comparables, margin analysis, and optional cryptographic attestation — making it more rigorous than manual benchmarking or generic pricing heuristics.

- target_percentile out of 1..99 range — validation error
- comparables out of 1..25 range — validation error
- payment of $0.006 USDC not provided — 402 payment required response
