How this service works
Open marketplace for machine-payable APIs. Discover, compare and pay for x402 resources with Base USDC or native ANM.
Output
Returns a job object with state set to AWAITING_PAYMENT, a unique job_id string, the required budget_atomic amount in smallest USDC units (e.g. 5000000 = 5 USDC), and the worker_payout_atomic indicating how much the worker receives after marketplace fees.
Example use cases
Pre-payment budget check for AI job
“Before I commit any USDC, can you get me a quote on the Animica x402 marketplace for a POST job of type 'text-summarize' with input body {"text":"This is a long article..."} — I want to see the job ID and exact atomic budget I'll need.”
Automated pipeline cost estimation
“My agent pipeline needs to call an x402 data-enrichment API — can you hit the Animica quote endpoint with job type 'data-enrich', method POST, and input body {"company":"Acme Corp"} so we know the worker payout and budget before triggering payment?”
Comparing job costs across task types
“I'm evaluating which x402 job types are cheapest on Animica — can you get me quotes for a 'translation' job type with a POST method and input {"text":"Hello world","target_lang":"es"} and tell me the budget_atomic and worker_payout_atomic?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.animica.dev/api/v1/jobs/quoteWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to obtain a firm price quote and job ID before committing a payment for any machine-payable API task on the Animica x402 marketplace. It is the required first step in the x402 payment flow — call it before sending USDC. Prefer this over generic REST APIs when the downstream service is gated by x402 micropayments and you need an atomic USDC budget figure to authorize.
Side effects
- Missing or malformed input body returns a 400 validation error
- Unsupported job type string causes a 422 unprocessable entity response
- Downstream worker unavailable may return a 503 or empty quote
- Payment not submitted after quote expires — job_id becomes stale
- Invalid method field causes schema validation failure
