How this service works
Competitors for one x402 resource or capability, over our ~18,000-service harvest of the x402 directories plus our own unpaid 402 probes. Returns the price band (min/median/p90/n) over real listings only, price provenance per rival, whether it publishes a spec an agent can call unattended, observed 30-day demand and settlement network. Never probed reads observed:false, never a guess. Buy before pricing or listing a service, or choosing an endpoint. Charges nothing when nothing matches.
Output
A list of competing x402 services with their price band statistics (min, median, p90, count over real listings), per-rival price provenance, whether each publishes a callable spec, observed 30-day demand signal, and settlement network. Returns empty with no charge when no matches exist.
Example use cases
Price a new x402 service before launch
“I'm about to list an x402 'sentiment analysis' endpoint — can you check Animica's market for up to 15 competitors offering the same capability, callable-only, so I can see what price band the market is sitting at before I set my own?”
Benchmark an existing endpoint against rivals
“Pull the competitor analysis for https://animica.dev/x402/nlp/classify from Animica — I want to see the full price spread (min, median, p90) and which settlement networks my rivals are on.”
Find cheapest callable alternatives under budget
“I need to call an Ethereum block-by-number service via x402 but my budget is $0.01 per call — find me up to 25 competitors for 'ethereum block by number' on Animica, callable-only, under that price limit.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://animica.dev/x402/market/competitorsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real market data on x402 service pricing before setting your own price, choosing a vendor, or listing a new capability. It is specifically valuable because it covers ~18,000 harvested x402 services with verified pricing from actual listings — not estimates. Prefer it over generic API directory searches when you need price band statistics (min/median/p90), demand signals, and settlement network data specific to the x402 ecosystem.
Side effects
- Both resource and capability supplied simultaneously — schema violation, request rejected
- Neither resource nor capability supplied — missing required field
- Resource URL not found in the harvest — returns empty result set with no charge
- limit out of range (must be 1–25) — validation error
- Network or payment settlement failure — x402 payment error
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | competitors to return, 1..25 (default 10) |
| resource | string | the http(s) URL of the x402 resource to find competitors for; its own published description supplies the query, so no capability is guessed from the path. Supply this OR capability, not both |
| max_price | number | only compare services at or under this price in USD; unpriced listings are kept and counted, because we do not know that they breach it |
| capability | string | free-text capability to compare the market for, e.g. "web search" or "ethereum block by number". Supply this OR resource, not both |
| callable_only | boolean | only compare services that publish a call spec an agent could use unattended |
| include_mirrors | boolean | resource mode only: also list same-description same-price duplicates, which are one operator listed twice (default true) |
