How this service works
VIA is a paid buyer-side router for AI agents and humans. Compare APIs, services, products and sourced research with x402 USDC payments on Base.
Output
A JSON object containing the recommended service title and source, up to three alternative options, whether the call was paid, the x402 settlement transaction hash on Base, and the VIA toll amount (typically $0.001 USDC).
Example use cases
Choosing a web scraping API
“I want to build a scraper but don't know which API to use — can you ask VIA to compare web scraping services and recommend the best one for my use case in the US?”
Finding a travel booking service
“I'm building a travel app and need the best API for flight search — use VIA to look up travel services and give me the top recommendation plus any alternatives.”
Selecting a document processing tool
“I need to process invoices automatically — can you use VIA to compare document or OCR APIs in the services market and tell me which one to go with?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://via-router.floot.app/_api/compare_api_prices?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent or developer needs to discover and compare APIs or services based on a plain-language intent, especially within a micropayment-native x402 workflow on Base. Prefer it over manual API directories when you want a single recommendation with alternatives returned programmatically, without manually curating options yourself.
Side effects
- Intent too vague or too short (minLength:2 not met) — returns validation error
- Invalid country code (not ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) — returns 400
- Unsupported language code — returns validation error
- x402 payment fails or USDC balance insufficient — call not processed
- No matching services found for intent — alternatives array may be empty
- Market enum mismatch — unrecognized market value rejected
