x402 APIPassing, checked 1 min ago

Bundled execution of the Answer-a-question with sources workflow - The 'research a question, return an answer with citations' workflow. Brave answer for the AI-synthesized take with citations, Brave web for the canonical SERP, Brave news for time-sensitive context, then a deterministic web-fetch + extract pass on the top citations to verify the answer hasn't hallucinated. Five tools, one cited paragraph, every claim traced back to a fetched URL.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.101.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i -X POST 'https://agent402.tools/api/skill/search-and-cite' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"question":"What is the Sahm Rule and has it triggered recently?"}'

# 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://agent402.tools/api/skill/search-and-cite' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"question":"What is the Sahm Rule and has it triggered recently?"}' \
