How this service works
Machine-buyable infrastructure for autonomous agents: API cost routing, margin optimization, funding-rate data, webpage extraction, result verification, spend controls, retry planning, state, tender search and GitHub bounty intelligence.
Output
Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'mode' string (e.g. 'x402_payment_preflight'), a numeric 'score' (0–100) indicating payment readiness, and a 'decision' string (e.g. 'metadata_ready') indicating whether the endpoint is prepared for x402 payment processing.
Example use cases
Pre-payment API access check
“Before my agent calls that bounty data endpoint, can you preflight https://bounty-engineer-x402-prod.onrender.com/v1/some-endpoint and tell me if it's ready for x402 payment and what score it gets?”
Routing decision for cost optimization
“I'm trying to figure out which of these two APIs is actually x402-compatible before routing my agent's spend — can you run a preflight on https://api.someservice.io/query and tell me the mode and decision?”
Validating new endpoint before agent fleet deployment
“We're about to deploy a fleet of agents to use a new paid API — can you do an x402 payment preflight on https://partner-api.example.com/v2/data so we know it'll work before we go live?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://bounty-engineer-x402-prod.onrender.com/v1/x402-payment-preflight?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs to confirm that a target URL supports x402 payment semantics before committing USDC — especially useful for cost routing, agent fleet deployment validation, or any workflow where payment failures are expensive. Prefer this over blindly calling a paid endpoint and handling 402 errors reactively.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed URL returns validation error
- URL not reachable or returns non-x402 response leads to low score or failed decision
- Missing URL field in request body causes 400-level error
- Endpoint may return ok:false with a decision indicating metadata is not ready
