How this service works
One pay-per-call API for AI agents: optimization, AI, research, on-chain data, and automation — all settled in USDC on Base via x402. Discover via MCP and Bazaar, estimate free, pay per call. No API keys, no signup.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the workflow execution result or a job ID for polling async completion, along with status and any output data from the executed steps.
Example use cases
Chained data-fetch and notify pipeline
“Set up a workflow that first pulls today's BTC price from on-chain data and then posts a summary to our Slack — use idempotency key 'btc-daily-notify' so it doesn't double-fire if retried.”
Automated research and report generation
“Run a two-step workflow: first do a web research pass on 'AI regulation in the EU 2025', then summarize the findings into a short report — idempotency key 'eu-ai-reg-report-01'.”
On-chain event triggered automation
“I need a workflow that checks whether a specific wallet address received any USDC transfers in the last hour, and if so logs the amounts — use idempotency key 'usdc-transfer-check-hourly'.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.cortexcloud.org/v1/automation/workflowWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to execute a structured multi-step automation workflow via a pay-per-call model with no API key setup. It is ideal for AI agents that need to chain tasks (data fetching, AI inference, on-chain lookups, notifications) into a single orchestrated call, especially when the agent environment supports x402 payments in USDC on Base. Prefer this over heavyweight workflow platforms (Zapier, n8n) when you want minimal overhead and programmatic, agent-native control.
Side effects
- Steps array is empty or malformed — returns 400 with validation error
- Idempotency key collision with a different payload — returns 422
- x402 payment not included or insufficient — returns 402 requiring USDC payment on Base
- Workflow step references an unavailable downstream service — returns 502 or partial failure
- Rate limiting if too many concurrent workflow executions
