Hourly US electricity demand, day-ahead demand forecast, net generation and total interchange for any of 83 balancing authorities - CAISO, ERCOT, PJM, MISO, NYISO, ISO-NE, SPP, Bonneville, or US48 for the whole Lower 48. Straight from EIA open data, grouped by hour so an agent reads one object per hour instead of four raw series.

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.

The code pays $0.001 in USDC on Base instead: it uses a payment scheme other than exact, which needs a different client setup.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i -X POST 'https://agents.dexl.io/v1/tools/grid-demand' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"hours":24,"region":"CAL"}'

# 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://agents.dexl.io/v1/tools/grid-demand' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"hours":24,"region":"CAL"}' \
  | 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";

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
