Endpoint
GEThttps://basenote.me/api/agent/read?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to read the full body of a specific Basenote article and is willing to pay 0.1 USDC per access via x402 micropayment on Base. It is the correct choice when you already have an article ID (from the /api/articles listing) and need the actual text content, not just metadata. Prefer this over free content scrapers when the content is exclusively published onchain on Basenote.
Side effects
- Invalid or unknown articleId returns an error or empty article object
- Agent wallet address not on Base Mainnet causes payment failure
- Insufficient USDC balance in the agent wallet prevents x402 payment and article unlock
- Malformed wallet address format causes request rejection
- Article may have been unpublished or deleted, returning no content
