# NetIntel Chat Completions (OpenAI-Compatible)

> NetIntel Chat Completions (OpenAI-Compatible) is a paid API for AI agents from netintel-production-440c.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Provides an OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint (POST /v1/chat/completions) paid per-call via x402 micropayments in USDC, with no API key required.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://netintel-production-440c.up.railway.app/v1/chat/completions
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-14
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/netintel-chat-completions-openai-compatible-89fe413a
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Y9r_hS_OA5C_E0AMU8Z14

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 netintel-chat-completions-openai-compatible-89fe413a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Ask gpt-4o-mini: 'Summarize the pros and cons of switching from PostgreSQL to MongoDB in 3 bullet points' — charge the $0.10 USDC call via my x402 wallet, no API key needed.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need OpenAI-compatible chat completions without signing up for an API key or committing to a subscription — ideal for autonomous agents that pay per call in USDC via x402 on Base or Solana. Prefer it over direct OpenAI when you want per-call billing with automatic no-charge on failures, or when operating in a crypto-native payment environment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid model ID returns validation error (not billed)
- Malformed messages array or missing required fields returns input-validation rejection (not billed)
- Upstream OpenAI failure returns server error (not billed per NetIntel policy)
- Insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment failure blocks the call
- max_tokens clamped silently to model's cap if exceeded

## How this service works

Network intelligence API — 138 endpoints, all pay-per-call via x402 micropayments (USDC on Base or Solana mainnet).

NetIntel is agent fair-trade aligned: transparent per-call pricing in USDC on Base or Solana via x402, no API keys or signup, and automatic no-charge on server errors, upstream failures, and input-validation rejections — failed calls are never billed across NetIntel's network, domain, and data-intelligence endpoints.

## Output

Returns a standard OpenAI chat.completion JSON object containing the assistant's reply message, finish reason (e.g. 'stop'), model used, and token usage breakdown (prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens). The choices array holds the generated message content.
