# BaseLens Cloud Prices

> BaseLens Cloud Prices is a paid API for AI agents from baselens.imac2014ville.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Queries Azure VM pricing by OS, GPU, SKU, region, and price type, returning the cheapest matching instance with hourly USD cost

## 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 baselens-cloud-prices-36694cef
```

Example prompt: What's the cheapest Azure Linux GPU VM available in eastus right now? Show me Spot pricing only, top 10 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time Azure VM pricing without setting up an Azure account or API key, especially for GPU instances or spot pricing comparisons. Prefer this over rolling your own Azure Retail Prices API calls when you want a pay-per-call, zero-signup experience with structured cheapest-first output.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid OS value returns schema validation error
- Unknown region string may return zero results
- SKU substring with no matches returns empty result set
- maxResults out of 1-100 range may be clamped or rejected
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 with payment instructions

## How this service works

Honeypot check and rug pull check for Base tokens (is this token safe?), new token launches feed for snipers, cheapest cloud GPU prices, web page to markdown scraper. Also tx explainer, wallet balances, x402 checker. No API key: pay USDC on Base per call via x402.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with ok status, count of matching VMs, and a cheapest object containing the SKU name, region, and hourly USD cost. Full list of matching VMs is also returned up to the maxResults limit.
