How this service works
A heartbeat that costs money, and therefore proves more than a health check: not merely that the server answers, but that x402 verification and settlement are working right now, end to end. Suitable for a monitor that needs to know the PAID path is alive.
Output
A successful HTTP response confirming that the x402 payment was received, verified, and settled server-side, proving the entire paid path — from request through payment verification to settlement — is operational. A failure response (or no response) indicates the paid path is down.
Example use cases
Uptime monitor for paid API path
“Set up a check that hits Soren's paid ping every few minutes so I know immediately if the x402 payment and settlement flow breaks, not just whether the server is reachable.”
Pre-flight check before agentic payment workflow
“Before my agent starts sending batches of paid API calls, do a quick paid ping to Soren to confirm x402 verification and settlement are actually working right now.”
Incident diagnosis for payment failures
“We're seeing x402 payment errors in production — can you fire a paid ping at Soren to tell me if the problem is with our code or with the payment infrastructure itself?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://soren.com/v1/paid-pingWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to verify not just that a server is running but that the full x402 payment verification and settlement pipeline is operational. Unlike a free health check, a successful response here proves money actually moved. Prefer this over standard health checks when your monitoring requirement specifically covers the paid path, or when diagnosing whether payment failures are infrastructure-level.
Side effects
- Payment verification failure — x402 token invalid or expired, returns 402 or 4xx
- Settlement failure — payment could not be processed, returns error indicating settlement issue
- Server unavailable — returns 5xx or no response, indicating infrastructure outage
- Insufficient funds — USDC balance too low to cover $0.01 cost
- Network timeout — no response received within expected window
