How this service works
Purchase: Web Crawler
Output
Returns a JSON object with a job_id (unique identifier for the crawl job), status (current state of the job, e.g. pending/running), and thread_id (for tracking the async execution thread on the402.ai platform).
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Kick off a web crawl job on the402.ai using service ID svc_ed1c6e81e8ec4ea0 — I need to extract content from a site and I want to get back the job ID so I can check on it later.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.the402.ai/v1/services/svc_ed1c6e81e8ec4ea0/purchaseWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically initiate a web crawl through a pay-per-use micropayment API (x402/USDC), and you require an async job-based workflow where results are retrieved later via job ID. Prefer this over synchronous scrapers when the target content may take time to fetch or when you want a managed, auditable crawl pipeline on the402.ai platform.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid 'id' field returns a 400 validation error
- Unknown or unauthorized service ID returns a 403 or 404
- Insufficient payment or x402 payment failure blocks job creation
- Platform overload or downtime returns a 503
- Job creation succeeds but crawl fails asynchronously — must be detected via job status endpoint
