# market2000.xyz Hardware Prices API

> market2000.xyz Hardware Prices API is a paid API for AI agents from market2000.xyz, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Fetches current hardware prices (e.g. GPUs) segmented by price tier with market index data including stock price changes for major chip makers

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://market2000.xyz/get_hardware_prices
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/market2000-xyz-hardware-prices-api-3fb129fe
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_oPR3l0U7yudUmWfewDsz6

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 market2000-xyz-hardware-prices-api-3fb129fe
```

Example prompt: What are today's GPU prices broken down by budget, mid-range, and high-end tiers, and how are AMD and NVDA trading right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, tiered GPU or hardware pricing data combined with chipmaker stock market index data in a single call. Prefer it over generic web scraping when you need clean, pre-segmented price tier statistics (budget/mid/high) with statistical aggregates. It is pay-per-call ($0.01 USDC via x402 on Base), making it cost-effective for on-demand pricing lookups without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported hardware category returns an error or empty result
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 Payment Required
- Stale or unavailable market data may result in cached responses
- Network timeout or upstream data source failure returns a 5xx error
- Missing required POST body fields returns a 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

An origin the crawlers already index. We count what AI agents try to buy, what they are refused, and what the AI companies take without sending anyone back. Sold per call in USDC.

## Output

A JSON object containing the date, hardware category, price tiers (budget <$300, mid-range $300–$600, high-end >$600) each with count, avg/min/max price, and top products; plus overall stats (avg, median, min, max, total product count); and a market index with AMD and NVDA current price and percentage change. Also includes a cache flag and fetch timestamp.
