```

Example prompt: Can you access the protected resource on lnpay.ai using a micropayment — it costs $0.01 USDC per request via x402?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to access a specific resource gated behind the x402 micropayment protocol on pay.lnpay.ai, and you have a USDC wallet capable of executing $0.01 payments. Prefer this over alternatives when the target content is specifically hosted on lnpay.ai and requires on-chain or Lightning-compatible payment authorization.

## Known failure modes

- Payment insufficient or missing — 402 Payment Required returned
- Invalid or expired payment token — authorization rejected
- Resource temporarily unavailable — 503 or timeout
- Network error reaching pay.lnpay.ai
- USDC wallet balance insufficient to cover $0.01 fee
