# Apex Edge UUID Generator

> Apex Edge UUID Generator is a paid API for AI agents from apex-edge.pearceshrader.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Generates a universally unique identifier (UUID) via a paid x402 micropayment-gated endpoint

## Facts

- Price: $0.002/call

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability apex-edge-uuid-generator-cc57ddaa
```

Example prompt: Generate a fresh UUID for me — I need a unique identifier to assign to a new database record, and I'm okay paying the small per-call fee via x402.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a UUID generated server-side behind a verifiable x402 micropayment trail — useful when auditability of UUID generation events matters or when operating in a crypto-native, pay-per-call agent workflow. For free bulk UUID generation without payment, a local library or free API is more practical.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or invalid x402 payment header — returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request body — returns 4xx error
- Cloudflare Worker timeout or cold-start error — returns 5xx
- Insufficient USDC balance for micropayment — payment rejected

## How this service works

x402-paid inference + audit endpoints

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a freshly generated UUID string, suitable for use as a unique identifier in databases, session management, or distributed systems tracing.
