x402 APIPassing, checked 8 h ago

Anthropic Messages API over x402 - point the Anthropic SDK (or Claude Code / the Agent SDK) at base_url https://agent402.tools/v1/premium and pay $0.50 per call in USDC, no API key, no signup. Same models, caps and price as this tier's /chat/completions route; any model here is served through the Messages wire (Claude natively, others translated). Depth: `effort` (low..max) on Claude 4.7+, thinking.budget_tokens on older Claude.

Run a free test callOne unpaid request, the way an agent sends it. You see the payment challenge it gets back. Nothing is charged.

Example request

From the listing.

POST https://agent402.tools/v1/premium/messages
content-type: application/json

{
  "max_tokens": 256,
  "messages": [
    {
      "content": "Summarize x402 in one sentence.",
      "role": "user"
    }
  ],
  "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-5"
}

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
effortstringNoOptional depth control for Claude 4.7+ (Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Fable 5.1): low | medium | high | xhigh | max, validated against the model's own list (GET /v1/models). Not accepted on Haiku 4.5 and older, which take thinking.budget_tokens instead
max_tokensintegerYesRequired by the Messages API; clamped to the tier's output cap
messagesarrayYesAnthropic messages: {role: user|assistant, content: string | [text|image|tool_use|tool_result blocks]}
modelstringNoModel id (OpenRouter naming, e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-5) - allowlisted per tier; omit (or "auto") on the auto tier
streambooleanNoAnthropic SSE (message_start … message_stop)
systemstringNoOptional system prompt (string or text blocks)
thinkingobjectNoOptional {type:"enabled", budget_tokens} | {type:"adaptive"} | {type:"disabled"} - thinking tokens are output tokens. On Claude 4.7+ (Opus 5, Sonnet 5, Fable 5.1) thinking is adaptive and `effort` is the depth control; a budget_tokens value is advisory there
toolsarrayNoOptional client tools {name, description, input_schema}; server/built-in tools are not served
zdrbooleanNoOptional - zero-data-retention providers only

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.5.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i -X POST 'https://agent402.tools/v1/premium/messages' \

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
