Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.002.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://agents.torbrooknews.com/v1/rpc/:chain?id=1&jsonrpc=2.0&method=eth_blockNumber&params='

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
curl -sS -g -o /dev/null -D - 'https://agents.torbrooknews.com/v1/rpc/:chain?id=1&jsonrpc=2.0&method=eth_blockNumber&params=' \
  | grep -i '^payment-required:' | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 --decode
JavaScript: pay and call

const client = new x402Client().setSpendControls({ maxAmountPerPayment: "$0.002" });
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY) });
const pay = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

// Not sure it's safe to pay? ToolVet checks it first for $0.005. Pay for that from a separate

const res = await pay("https://agents.torbrooknews.com/v1/rpc/:chain?id=1&jsonrpc=2.0&method=eth_blockNumber&params=");
console.log(res.status, await res.text());
