x402 APIPassing, checked 2 h ago

Search the live web and get ranked results back: title, URL and snippet for each hit, up to 20 per call, optionally biased to a country. The natural first step before fetching or crawling - this tool finds the pages, the fetch and crawl tools read them. Results come from an independent web index and the response names which one answered.

{
  "count": 5,
  "query": "x402 protocol agent payments"
}

The provider's example. We can't check it without paying.

{
  "cached": false,
  "output": {},
  "units": 1
}

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.006.

The code pays $0.006 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/web-search' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"count":5,"query":"x402 protocol agent payments"}'

# 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/web-search' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"count":5,"query":"x402 protocol agent payments"}' \
  | 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 $0.006 per call.
const client = new x402Client().setSpendControls({ maxAmountPerPayment: "$0.006" });
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 $0.006 per payment. GET https://toolvet.app/api/v1/check?url=https%3A%2F%2Fagents.dexl.io%2Fv1%2Ftools%2Fweb-search&method=POST
const res = await pay("https://agents.dexl.io/v1/tools/web-search", {

  headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "count": 5,
    "query": "x402 protocol agent payments"
  }),
});
console.log(res.status, await res.text());
