x402 APIPassing, checked 2 h ago

Look up a product barcode number: identify and validate EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, GTIN-14, ISBN-13/10, ISSN and ISMN codes (wrong check digits are reported with the correct digit), convert between forms (GTIN-14, EAN-13, UPC-A, ISBN-10 <-> 13) and decode the GS1 prefix. Then fetch product data from open databases: name, brand, quantity, categories, image, labels, Nutri-Score (food, cosmetics, pet food via Open Food Facts) or title, authors, publisher and cover (books via Open Library).

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://api.ishob.com/v1/product-code?code=3017620422003'

# 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://api.ishob.com/v1/product-code?code=3017620422003' \
  | 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%2Fapi.ishob.com%2Fv1%2Fproduct-code
const res = await pay("https://api.ishob.com/v1/product-code?code=3017620422003");
