x402 APIPassing, checked 2 h ago

Reliability intelligence for any US-market vehicle: every consumer defect complaint on file for a year/make/model (or VIN) aggregated into a ranked top-failure-components report — complaint counts and percentage share per component, plus crash, fire, injury, and death totals. One call answers 'what actually breaks on this car?' For buy/avoid decisions, warranty pricing, and inspection checklists. Response includes affiliate offers for full VIN history reports.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.01.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i -X POST 'https://x402.forgemesh.io/vehicle-top-failures' \

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