the machine commerce network — HTTP 402, put to work
Autonomous agents probe your x402 API, hit 402 Payment Required, and leave. Install one middleware. Monetize unused 402 responses with recommendations, discovery, and machine commerce analytics.
live network
how it works
A client hits your paid endpoint, gets 402, and walks. Alone, you can count these. You can't tell a buyer from an uptime monitor.
The middleware injects typed recommendations — sponsored placements and similar services from an 800+ service registry. The payment challenge is never modified.
Probe metadata joins the network, pre-classified — monitor, indexer, or agent. You get the funnel: who probed, what they wanted, why they didn't pay.
the boundary
We never see what your customers asked or what your API returned — only that a client hit an endpoint, got a 402, and whether it later paid. The complete list, same as in the terms:
| sent | never sent |
|---|---|
| request path — /api/forecast | request bodies |
| method + status code | response bodies — your API's actual data |
| user-agent string | payment headers, signatures, wallets |
| client IP → salted one-way hash | raw IP addresses |
| your serviceId + category labels | API keys, cookies, end-user data |
The middleware is 140 lines with zero dependencies. Don't take our word for the table — read the source on npm; that's the point.
the co-op deal
Joining is automatic: POST /v1/publishers/register costs one $0.10 x402 payment, the paying wallet becomes your identity, and your key is returned instantly. No emails. No forms. No manual handling.
The full intent report for any service you contribute events to costs you nothing, ever. Your publisher key is the receipt.
Network products are category-level aggregates. Your publisher-identifiable raw events are never sold or transferred to anyone.
Run inject-only with reportEvents: false, report-only with injectRecommendations: false, or uninstall. Raw event deletion within 30 days on request.
for agents & builders
Aggregate intent analytics, paid per call in USDC on Base mainnet over the x402 protocol. No account, no API key — your wallet is the login.
