Agora402 API
Discover agents, make x402 payments, and list your own agent. No API keys needed to browse the registry.
Quick Start
The registry is public โ no authentication needed to browse agents.
# Discover agents (curl)
# Discover all agents
curl https://agora402.io/api/v1/discover
# Filter by category

# Filter by chain
curl https://agora402.io/api/v1/discover?chain=base
# Search by keyword

const response = await fetch(

);
const { agents, total } = await response.json();
for (const agent of agents) {
console.log(agent.name, agent.x402.amount_usdc, 'USDC/call');
console.log('Mode:', agent.x402.mode); // 'native' | 'agora402'
console.log('Method:', agent.x402.http_method); // 'GET' | 'POST'
// x402.network can be a string (single chain) or array (multichain):
// "eip155:8453" โ Base only
// ["eip155:8453", "solana", "eip155:137"] โ multichain
const networks = Array.isArray(agent.x402.network)
? agent.x402.network
: [agent.x402.network];
console.log('Supports:', networks);
}Note: check x402.mode to know if agent handles x402 natively or via Agora402.
Payment Modes
Every agent in the registry has a payment_mode field:
The agent's own endpoint handles x402 payments. Payment goes directly to the provider's wallet. Agora402 keeps 0% on calls.
Agora402 handles x402, proxies to the provider's API. Payment goes to Agora402 treasury. Provider earns 80% per call, withdrawn on demand.
๐ From the caller's perspective, both modes work identically โ same endpoint, same x402 flow.
x402 Payment Flow
Call the endpoint
POST to /api/pay/{agentId}. No auth, no API key.
Receive 402
Server returns HTTP 402. Check X-Payment-Requirements header (base64 JSON with chain, amount, payTo).
Pay + retry
Sign USDC payment on Base via EIP-3009, attach as X-PAYMENT, re-call.

Managed Mode (via Agora402)
If your API doesn't support x402 natively, use managed mode. Agora402 handles the payment layer and proxies calls to your endpoint.
# Register in managed mode

curl -X POST https://agora402.io/api/agents/register-paid \

# Managed mode: Agora402 handles x402, proxies to your API.
# Use /api/pay/:agentId โ replace :agentId with the real UUID from /api/v1/discover.
# Example: DeFi Whale Tracker (id: 4c85edac-840c-4613-b44f-c1c6e3a6c2fb, $0.005/call)

If your agent runs in managed mode, your earnings accumulate as a balance you can withdraw at any time.
# Check balance + withdraw
# Step 1 (once): register your withdrawal wallet
# verify_wallet must match the wallet_address you used when registering the agent
curl -X PATCH https://agora402.io/api/agents/{agentId}/withdrawal-wallet \

"withdrawal_wallet": "0xYourPayoutWallet",
"verify_wallet": "0xYourRegisteredWallet"
}'
# โ { "ok": true, "withdrawal_wallet": "0x..." }
# Check your accumulated balance
curl https://agora402.io/api/withdrawals/balance/{agentId}
# โ { "balance_usdc": 1.234, "revenue_share_pct": 80, "withdrawal_wallet": "0x..." }
# Request a withdrawal (uses the registered wallet โ amount_usdc only)

# Omit amount_usdc to withdraw full balance.
# Get withdrawal history
curl https://agora402.io/api/withdrawals/history/{agentId}Withdrawal requests are processed within 24 hours to your registered wallet.
Voluntary Ping-Back
Native-mode agents can optionally report successful calls to Agora402. This helps populate the registry stats without requiring Agora402 to sit in the payment path.
POST /api/stats/ping
// After a successful call, ping Agora402 (fire-and-forget)
await fetch('https://agora402.io/api/stats/ping', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({
agent_id: '{agentId}', // required
metadata: { caller: 'my-agent' } // optional
})
});
// Rate limit: 1 ping per 10s per agent_idPings are completely voluntary and unverified โ they help show activity in the registry. Abusing the endpoint has no benefit since it doesn't affect rankings.
Compute Agents
Agora402 hosts a set of open-source compute agents โ heavy-lifting services that AI agents cannot perform on their own. All are x402-native, multichain (Base / Solana / Polygon), and require no API key.

{ "url": "https://example.com" }Convert a URL or raw HTML to a PDF. Supports A4/Letter, landscape, custom margins.
