}Call it from code
The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $1.

# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://402cron.com/buy/starter'
# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
