How this service works

Claude AI models — chat completions, vision, document processing, extended thinking, and tool use.

Output

Returns a JSON object with a 'data' field containing the full Anthropic API response (content blocks, stop reason, usage), a 'payment' object showing settled and authorized USDC amounts, a 'request' object with a UUID and status URL for tracking, and a 'success' boolean. The nested Anthropic response follows the standard Messages API format with role, content array, and token usage counts.

Example use cases

Vision-based receipt data extraction

“I have a photo of a restaurant receipt — send it to Claude as a base64 image and ask it to pull out every line item, its price, and the total, returning the result as structured JSON. Use claude-haiku-4-5 to keep costs low.”

Agentic coding assistant with tool use

“Set up a Claude Opus session with my 'run_python' and 'read_file' tool definitions, system prompt 'You are a senior engineer', and ask it to debug the stack trace I'm pasting — let it call tools automatically until it finds the fix.”

Extended thinking for complex reasoning

“I need Claude to work through a multi-step legal argument for me — enable extended thinking with a 20,000-token budget, set temperature to 0, use claude-opus-4-7, and ask: 'Is this non-compete clause enforceable in California given these facts: [facts]?'”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need Claude specifically (not GPT or Gemini) and want pay-per-call micropayment billing in USDC rather than a monthly subscription or API key management. It is ideal for agentic systems that need Claude's extended thinking, multi-step tool use, or vision capabilities on an unpredictable or low-volume basis where prepaying for a subscription is wasteful. Prefer it over direct Anthropic API access when your agent architecture relies on x402 payment headers for autonomous cost management.

Side effects

Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment — request rejected before reaching Claude
Invalid or unsupported model ID — service returns an error listing supported model IDs
Token limit exceeded — x402 enforces per-model max_tokens caps (128k Opus, 64k Sonnet/Haiku)
Malformed messages array — missing required role or content fields causes a validation error
Extended thinking requested on a model that doesn't support it — returns upstream Anthropic error
Image data too large or wrong media type — base64 image rejected by Anthropic's vision API
Rate limits from the underlying Anthropic API — transient 529 overload responses

Reviews

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
