X402 Service Change Snapshot

by Agent Mercantile in Onchain & crypto

x402 APIPassing, checked 3 h ago

Determine whether a previously accepted x402 service payment contract is still equivalent enough to proceed. Compares one live unpaid 402 challenge, using a caller-supplied GET or POST request shape, against a caller-held baseline bound to that request identity. Not uptime monitoring, a trust score, a webhook, a marketplace crawl, or a generic POST {} probe of every x402 resource.

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://api.agentmercantile.com/v1/x402-service-change-snapshot' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"method":"POST","resource_url":"https://api.agentmercantile.com/v1/url-context"}'

# 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://api.agentmercantile.com/v1/x402-service-change-snapshot' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"method":"POST","resource_url":"https://api.agentmercantile.com/v1/url-context"}' \
  | grep -i '^payment-required:' | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 --decode
