# ManyLives Onchain – Paid Endpoint Inspector

> ManyLives Onchain – Paid Endpoint Inspector is a paid API for AI agents from api.manylives.me, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Inspects a ManyLives paid endpoint URL to return its x402 payment offers, pricing, network, and discovery metadata without executing the actual paid call.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.manylives.me/paid/pay/inspect?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-10
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/manylives-onchain-paid-endpoint-inspector-3dbc9a18
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_5_zJBKs05AdNp7wo8q44h

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 manylives-onchain-paid-endpoint-inspector-3dbc9a18
```

Example prompt: Can you inspect the payment requirements for https://manylives.me/paid/test and tell me how much it costs per call, which wallet address receives the payment, and what network it runs on?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover the payment requirements (price, wallet, network) of a specific ManyLives paid URL before committing funds, or when validating that a paid endpoint is correctly configured with x402 metadata. Prefer this over blindly calling a paid endpoint when you want to preview costs, or when building an agent that needs to programmatically resolve payment parameters before execution.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent URL returns an error or empty offers array
- Non-paid endpoint URL returns unexpected status or empty payment metadata
- Network timeout if the target endpoint is unavailable
- Malformed URL in the query parameter causes a 400-level error
- Endpoint not on the ManyLives platform returns no discovery_metadata

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the inspected endpoint URL, an array of payment offers (each with pay-to wallet address, payment scheme, network identifier, and USD price), the HTTP status code (typically 402), the x402 protocol version, any validation problems, and a boolean indicating whether discovery metadata is present.
