# Crypto Microdata for Agents – Ping/Health Check (x402)

> Crypto Microdata for Agents – Ping/Health Check (x402) is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Validates x402 payment connectivity and returns a server heartbeat with navigation hints to available paid crypto-data endpoints, paid via USDC on Base.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 crypto-microdata-for-agents-ping-health-check-x402-f6e3e67e
```

Example prompt: Run a quick ping against the x402 crypto microdata service — tag it with test run ID 'run-001' and echo label 'my-agent-1' — so I can confirm my USDC payment channel on Base is wired up and see which paid data endpoints I can call next.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as the first call when bootstrapping a new trading or onchain AI agent to confirm x402 USDC payment plumbing works end-to-end before committing to paid data calls. Prefer it over calling paid data endpoints directly when you want a cheap ($0.001) connectivity test, want to discover available routes dynamically, or need to correlate a test run with a custom ID. Not suitable for retrieving actual market data — use sibling endpoints for Base gas, token risk, Hyperliquid book, or kimchi premium data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — returns HTTP 402 with payment-required details
- Invalid or malformed x402 payment header — server rejects with 400 or 402
- echo or testRunId exceeds maxLength (64 and 100 chars respectively) — likely ignored or truncated
- Worker cold-start latency spike on Cloudflare edge — response may be slower than typical
- Network timeout if Base blockchain payment verification stalls

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto microdata for trading/onchain AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base): Base gas, token risk, balances, multi-venue prices, Hyperliquid book/funding, kimchi premium. No API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: server UTC timestamp (`t`), `ok: true` confirming liveness, an array of `next` suggested paid endpoint paths (e.g. /crypto/base-gas, /crypto/simulate), a `receiptId` confirming the x402 USDC micropayment was processed, echoed `testRunId` for call correlation, and `paymentVerified: true` confirming the Base USDC payment succeeded.
