Pay per crawl, live

This site charges AI agents $0.01 per page using the x402 protocol on a Cloudflare Worker. Humans get an explanation. Agents get an invoice.

The priced article

/research/agentic-seo/
Returns HTTP 402 Payment Required until the caller pays $0.01 in USDC on Base Sepolia (testnet).

The ledger

/earnings/
Running total, crawl count and the last five paid crawls.

How the handshake works

1. GET /research/agentic-seo/
2. 402 Payment Required + PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (price, token, network, pay-to)
3. Agent signs a USDC authorisation and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE
4. Facilitator verifies and settles on chain
5. 200 OK + article + PAYMENT-RESPONSE header (settlement confirmation)
