How this service works
Pay-per-call hashing, encoding, ping, URL→markdown and JSON fetch. USDC on Base via x402.
Output
Returns a ping acknowledgement, typically echoing back the provided string and confirming the service is reachable. Confirms that the x402 micropayment was accepted and the endpoint is operational.
Example use cases
Pre-flight API health check
“Before I start my batch job, ping the Nordforge service with the echo string 'preflight-check' to make sure it's online and responding correctly.”
Testing x402 micropayment flow
“I want to test that my x402 USDC payment setup on Base is working — can you send a ping to Nordforge with echo 'payment-test' and tell me if it goes through?”
Agent connectivity verification
“My AI agent needs to confirm the Nordforge tool endpoint is reachable before proceeding — ping it with echo 'agent-ready' and report back the response.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://nordforge-x402.rly.best/v1/pingWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a cheap ($0.0001 USDC) way to verify that the Nordforge x402 service is reachable and that your micropayment credentials on Base are correctly configured, before invoking more expensive calls like hashing, encoding, or URL fetching on the same host.
