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

Returns a JSON object with a recommended provider title and source, a paid flag confirming x402 USDC settlement, the settlement transaction hash on Base (eip155:8453), the toll cost in USD (typically $0.001), and a list of up to three alternative providers when available.

Example use cases

Finding the right OCR API

“I need to extract text from scanned invoices — use VIA to find me the best OCR or document parsing API available, searching in the information market.”

Sourcing a travel booking service

“My agent needs to book flights for users — ask VIA to recommend the best travel API or booking service I should integrate, in the travel market, for US users in English.”

Picking an e-commerce data provider

“I'm building a product comparison tool and need a reliable product data or pricing API — can you ask VIA to route that request and tell me what the top recommendation is in the commerce market?”

Technical details

Endpoint

POSThttps://via-router.floot.app/_api/provider_selection?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to autonomously discover and select among competing APIs, services, or products based on a plain-language intent, especially when micropayment-gated quality signals matter. Prefer it over static API directories or manual comparisons when you want a routed, paid recommendation with on-chain settlement proof and optional market scoping (services, commerce, information, travel).

Side effects

Intent string too short or vague — returns no meaningful recommendation
Invalid country code format (must be ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) — validation error
Unsupported market enum value — request rejected with schema error
Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — x402 payment not settled, request blocked
Network or Base chain settlement timeout — transaction hash may be missing or delayed
