Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.the402.ai/v1/services/svc_049286bebcf3424b/purchaseWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically check a website's crawler policy before scraping, indexing, or accessing site content — especially when building respectful web crawlers, SEO tools, or compliance-checking workflows. Prefer this over manual fetch when you need structured parsing of robots.txt rules including per-user-agent directives, delay values, and sitemap discovery in a single paid call via x402 micropayment.
Side effects
- Domain has no robots.txt file — returns empty or 404-equivalent result
- Domain is unreachable or times out — job fails with error status
- Invalid or malformed URL input — request rejected
- Payment of 0.053 USDC not fulfilled — 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting by target server prevents robots.txt retrieval
