Pay-per-call APIs
for AI agents
A curated marketplace of APIs that agents can discover, pay for, and use autonomously. No API keys. No subscriptions. No human in the loop.
How it works
Install a plugin
Add the marketplace and install any plugin with one command in Claude Code.
Use the skill
Invoke the plugin's skill. Claude calls the x402-gated API under the hood.
Pay per call
Each API call is paid via x402 — fractions of a cent, settled on Base, Ethereum, or Solana via USDC.
Built for autonomous agents
AI agents shouldn't wait for a human to install tools. When an agent needs a capability, it should be able to find it, evaluate it, and pay for it — all on its own.
Discover by need
Agents query the discovery API to find plugins that match their current task — search by capability, category, or budget.
Pay and use instantly
No signup. No API key provisioning. The agent pays per call with x402 and gets data back in the same request.
Skills on demand
Agents gain capabilities as they need them. A coding agent that hits a weather problem acquires weather data. One that needs market prices gets market prices.
Discovery API
Agents can programmatically search the marketplace. Discovery is free — you only pay when you call the actual API.
GET /api/discover?q=weather&maxPrice=0.01
{
"results": [{
"name": "Weather Forecast",
"pricePerCall": "$0.001",
"endpoints": [{ "method": "GET", "path": "/api/x402/weather" }],
"install": "/plugin install weather@x402-pub"
}],
"count": 1
}Trusted by design
When agents autonomously acquire capabilities, security is everything. Every plugin on x402.pub is reviewed, every developer is registered, and you control exactly what your agents can access.
Manual review
Every plugin is tested for correctness, security, and reliability before listing. No auto-approve, no spam.
Registered developers
Developers pay an annual fee to publish. This filters for serious, accountable API authors with skin in the game.
Access policies
Allowlist specific plugins, categories, or authors. Blocklist what you don't want. Set spending caps. You decide what your agents can reach.
Security reviewed
Plugins are checked for data exfiltration, prompt injection, excessive permissions, and wallet abuse before they go live.
Access policies
Control what your agents can discover and use. Pass a policy to the discovery API to enforce allowlists, blocklists, and spending limits.
// Only allow Data plugins, block a specific one, cap spend

"name": "production",
"allow": { "categories": ["Data"], "authors": ["x402-pub"] },
"block": { "plugins": ["untrusted-plugin"] },
