Electricity Price

x402 APIPassing, checked 2 h ago

Current average U.S. retail price of electricity, in cents per kilowatt-hour (cents/kWh) — e.g. "what's the electricity price right now". Reflects the latest monthly data (not real-time), averaged across all sectors combined (not sector-specific), sourced from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Optional 'state' param (2-letter code) returns that state's average instead of the national figure.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.001.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://x402-seller.onrender.com/electricity/price?state=US'

# 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://x402-seller.onrender.com/electricity/price?state=US' \
  | grep -i '^payment-required:' | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 --decode
JavaScript: pay and call
// npm i @x402/fetch @x402/evm viem
import { wrapFetchWithPayment, x402Client } from "@x402/fetch";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

// Pays at most $0.001 per call.
const client = new x402Client().setSpendControls({ maxAmountPerPayment: "$0.001" });
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
// client: this one is capped at $0.001 per payment. GET https://toolvet.app/api/v1/check?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx402-seller.onrender.com%2Felectricity%2Fprice
const res = await pay("https://x402-seller.onrender.com/electricity/price?state=US");
