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 -X POST 'https://useragent.openverbs.com/v1/is-bot' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"ua":"example"}'

# 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 - -X POST 'https://useragent.openverbs.com/v1/is-bot' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"ua":"example"}' \
  | grep -i '^payment-required:' | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 --decode
JavaScript: pay and call
// npm i @x402/fetch @x402/evm viem

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 $0.002 per payment. GET https://toolvet.app/api/v1/check?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuseragent.openverbs.com%2Fv1%2Fis-bot&method=POST
const res = await pay("https://useragent.openverbs.com/v1/is-bot", {
