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 'paid' boolean confirming the x402 USDC payment was settled, the original intent echoed back, a settlement object with the Base network chain ID and transaction hash, the via toll in USD ($0.01), a top recommendation object with title and source, and an array of up to three alternative options.

Example use cases

Find best email deliverability API

“I need to send transactional emails reliably — can you compare email delivery services in the services market for the US in English and recommend the best one with some alternatives?”

Discover travel flight-search API

“What's the best API I can use to search for flights? Look in the travel market for English options in the US and give me a top pick plus a few alternatives.”

Compare e-commerce product data providers

“I'm building a shopping agent and need a product data feed. Can you search the commerce market for US-based English-language options and recommend the best service with alternatives?”

Endpoint

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent or human needs to discover, compare, and rank APIs or services based on a plain-language intent, especially in agentic workflows that already handle x402 USDC micropayments on Base. It is particularly useful when the caller does not know which tool to use for a task and wants a curated recommendation with ranked alternatives, covering markets like services, commerce, information, and travel. Prefer it over manual web searches when you need a structured, machine-readable recommendation with a payment trail.

Side effects

Intent string too short or too long (below 2 or above 500 chars) — 400 validation error
Invalid country code not matching ^[A-Z]{2}$ pattern — 400 validation error
Invalid market enum value — 400 validation error
x402 payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — payment declined, request not processed
No matching recommendation found for obscure intent — alternatives array may be empty
Network latency or Base chain congestion delaying settlement confirmation
