Endpoint
GEThttps://workspace-x402-paywall.onrender.com/ref/books?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, no-subscription book search with micropayment via USDC on Base or Solana. It is ideal for agents that need occasional book lookups without committing to a monthly API plan, and when you want to filter returned fields to keep responses lean.
Side effects
- Missing required 'q' parameter returns an error
- Empty query string may return zero results
- Invalid field names in 'fields' parameter may be ignored or cause errors
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance or wrong network) blocks the request
- Service may be slow or unavailable on Render's free tier (cold starts)
- Overly generic queries may return irrelevant or empty results
