Paid Ping
by Soren in Developer tools
A heartbeat that costs money, and therefore proves more than a health check: not merely that the server answers, but that x402 verification and settlement are working right now, end to end. Suitable for a monitor that needs to know the PAID path is alive.

}Call it from code
The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.01.
curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://soren.com/v1/paid-ping'
# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
