How this service works
Turn any URL into a link that charges USDC to open. Built on x402 v2, so AI agents can pay as easily as people.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the generated short URL (shortUrl), the shortcode, creation timestamp, destination URL, creator wallet address, and a detailed fee breakdown showing the buyer's cost, the 0.3% platform fee, and the 99.7% that goes to the creator per paid open. Also includes success status and whether it was agent-created.
Example use cases
Monetize a premium article
“Turn https://myblog.com/premium/how-to-scale-saas into a URLGate pay-to-open link that charges 0.25 USDC, call it 'SaaS Scaling Guide', and redirect visitors directly to the article after they pay — send revenue to 0xAbCd1234567890abcdef1234567890ABCDEF1234.”
Gate a dataset download for researchers
“Create a paid link for https://datastorage.io/datasets/genomics-v2.zip that costs 0.50 USDC to open, with the title 'Genomics Dataset v2', and use the shortcode 'genomics-v2' so I can share it easily.”
AI agent charging other agents for API access
“Set up a URLGate link pointing to https://myagentservice.io/endpoint that charges 0.02 USDC per open, titled 'Agent Inference API', so other AI agents can autonomously pay and get access via x402.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://urlgate.xyz/api/urlgate/agent/create?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to monetize access to any URL using USDC micropayments, especially when AI agents need to autonomously pay to access content (x402 v2 support). It is uniquely suited for pay-per-access content models, API endpoint gating, or selling exclusive links where you want near-full revenue (99.7%) with minimal setup. Prefer it over generic URL shorteners when payment gating is the primary goal.
