# httpay.xyz API Gateway: Render API

> httpay.xyz API Gateway: Render API is a paid API for AI agents from httpay.xyz, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Proxies PUT requests to the Render API via a pay-per-call x402 gateway, enabling access to Render cloud services without a direct API key using USDC micropayments.

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 httpay-xyz-api-gateway-render-api-58a2be08 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Update my Render service named 'my-api-backend' to set its environment variable NODE_ENV to production — use the Render API gateway and pay with USDC.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to perform write/update operations on Render cloud services (PUT semantics) without managing a Render API key directly, preferring USDC micropayments via x402 on Base. Ideal for ephemeral or agent-driven workflows where storing long-lived credentials is undesirable.

## Known failure modes

- 402 Payment Required if USDC payment header is missing or insufficient
- 404 if the specified Render API path does not exist
- 401/403 if no valid Render auth context is forwarded
- 500 if Render's upstream API is unavailable
- Invalid path wildcard resulting in gateway routing error
- Payment transaction failure on Base network
