How this service works
Buy bulk crawl access to one domain that publishes Paid Crawl terms. $0.100 buys $0.100 worth of that site's pages — the site sets the per-page rate, so the request budget is the pass value divided by that rate. ONE settlement covers the whole budget: per-page settlement is impossible at these prices because Base gas would exceed the fee. Send the returned token back as "X-Crawl-Pass: anmcp_...". Site operators pay nothing for Paid Crawl; crawlers do.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing a crawl pass token (prefixed anmcp_...), the number of page requests the pass covers, the per-page rate it was priced at, and the expiry time of the pass.
Example use cases
AI agent fetching gated documentation
“Get me a crawl pass for docs.somesite.com valid for 3600 seconds so I can pull their full API documentation.”
Journalist scraping paywalled news archive
“Purchase a one-hour crawl pass for archive.newsdomain.com so I can access their article pages.”
Research bot with short-lived access window
“I need a 10-minute crawl pass for data.researchportal.org — set TTL to 600 seconds so the token expires quickly after I'm done.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://animica.dev/x402/crawl/pass/10When to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs authorized, pay-per-crawl access to a specific domain that publishes x402 crawl terms. It is the correct choice when you need a time-bounded token that gates how many pages can be fetched, rather than open or unauthenticated scraping. Prefer this over generic scraping tools when the target domain explicitly supports x402 crawl pass infrastructure.
Side effects
- Domain does not publish crawl terms at /x402/crawl/{domain} — returns error indicating missing or invalid terms
- TTL out of range (below 60 or above 86400 seconds) — returns validation error
- Insufficient USDC balance or payment failure — transaction rejected
- Domain field missing from request body — 400 bad request
- Network or service unavailability — 5xx error
