# DDG Timestamp Service

> DDG Timestamp Service is a paid API for AI agents from agents.daedalusdevelopmentgroup.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a current server-side timestamp as a machine-payable artifact via x402 micropayment rail

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://agents.daedalusdevelopmentgroup.com/v1/timestamp
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15

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 ddg-timestamp-service-0662059d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch the current server timestamp from the DDG agent-payable service — go ahead and pay the $0.001 USDC micropayment via x402 to get it.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a cheap, machine-payable, externally-sourced server timestamp and are already operating in an x402 USDC micropayment context. Ideal for AI agent workflows that need lightweight proof-of-time artifacts without raw provider account access. Prefer this over free public time APIs when you need a paid, accountable timestamp artifact or are testing x402 payment rails at $0.001 per call.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or invalid x402 payment header — returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed POST body missing required 'input' or 'output' fields — returns 400 Bad Request
- Provider environment misconfigured or unavailable — returns 500 Internal Server Error
- Unsupported payment method attempted (MPP/Stripe pending live) — payment rejected

## How this service works

Machine-payable DDG services for AI agents. Current public live payment rails are x402 multi-chain USDC and direct-crypto auto/manual for public receiving-address families. MPP/Stripe/Tempo is installed but pending live provider env plus penny-settlement proof before any MPP-live advertisement. DDG sells bounded artifacts/results, not raw provider account access.

## Output

A JSON object with an 'ok: true' field confirming success, along with the current server-side timestamp as a bounded artifact. The response confirms the micropayment was accepted and the timestamp was delivered.
