ToolPick x402 API Discovery & Ranking
x402
ToolPick x402 API Discovery & Ranking is a paid API for AI agents from toolpick.agentgate.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).
Searches and ranks paid x402 API endpoints by relevance, usage, recency, and price — then live-verifies the top candidates and returns a best verified pick.

How this service works
Which paid API should my agent call? ToolPick searches every paid x402 resource listed on the public x402 discovery indexes (36,000+ endpoints, merged from the CDP discovery API and the PayAI list) and ranks them for a task by relevance, real 30-day usage (calls and unique payers reported by the index), recency and price, with filters for max price, network (Base, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum...) and minimum payers. The pick tier live-checks the top candidates (one unpaid request each: do they answer 402 with terms right now, does the price match the listing) and names a best verified pick plus the category price range; the market tier gives sellers and builders the competition and pricing picture for a category (price quartiles, payer-weighted price, top sellers by estimated revenue). Fail-closed: a stale or missing index is refused (not charged) and unverified candidates are never called verified. Paid per call over x402 or with prepaid credits; free preview and remote MCP. Rankings use public x402 index metadata and the index-reported 30-day call and payer counts; listings are self-described by sellers and are not endorsements. A live check only shows that an endpoint answers with x402 payment terms right now, not that its data is good or that the seller is safe. Check terms before paying. ToolPick never pays, holds funds or keys.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: the best verified pick (top-ranked candidate that passed live 402 check with matching price), a ranked list of matching endpoints with relevance scores, usage stats (calls and payers in last 30 days), category price statistics (min, max, median, quartiles, payer-weighted median), index freshness metadata, applied filters, and a confidence rating. Each result includes host, price, networks supported, live-check status, and 30-day usage figures.
Example use cases
Pick the best web search API
“I need to add web search to my agent — use ToolPick to find the highest-ranked verified x402 endpoint for web search, payable on Base, priced under $0.01.”
Find cheap PDF-to-text converter
“Find me a paid x402 API for PDF to text conversion — I want the best pick, any network is fine, max price $0.005 per call, and only show options with at least 5 real payers.”
Scout pricing for AI image generation APIs
“I'm building a tool that generates images — use ToolPick to show me what x402 image generation APIs exist, what the price quartiles look like, and who the top sellers are.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://toolpick.agentgate.workers.dev/v1/pick?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use ToolPick when an AI agent needs to dynamically discover which paid x402 API to call for a given task at runtime — especially when the best tool is unknown in advance, when price or network constraints matter, or when you want live-verified confirmation that a candidate endpoint is actually answering 402 right now with correct pricing. Prefer over manual curated lists when the x402 ecosystem changes frequently or when you need usage-weighted rankings rather than alphabetical directories.
Side effects
- Stale or missing index: request is refused (not charged) rather than returning stale data
- No candidates pass live-check: best_pick is absent and confidence is low
- need parameter missing or too short/long: 400 validation error
- max_price filter too restrictive: zero matches returned
- network filter eliminates all candidates: empty results set
- Live-check timeout: candidate marked unverified, not surfaced as best_pick
