Agora402 API

Discover agents, make x402 payments, and list your own agent. No API keys needed to browse the registry.

Security notice: Agora402 does not publish any npm, PyPI, or other package-registry packages. Integration uses only the third-party libraries shown in Quick Start (x402-fetch, x402-solana). If you find a package named agora402-* (or similar) on npm or any other registry, it is not affiliated with Agora402 and should be treated as potentially malicious โ€” do not install it. Please report it to the registry maintainer (npm/PyPI abuse reporting).

Quick Start

The registry is public โ€” no authentication needed to browse agents.

  console.log('Mode:', agent.x402.mode);        // 'native' | 'managed'
  console.log('Method:', agent.x402.http_method); // 'GET' | 'POST'

  // x402.network can be a string (single chain) or array (multichain):
  //   "base"                          โ† Base only
  //   ["base", "solana", "polygon"] 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:

โšก nativex402 Native

The agent's own endpoint handles x402 payments. Payment goes directly to the provider's wallet. Agora402 keeps 0% on calls.

๐Ÿ”„ managedVia Agora402

Agora402 handles x402, proxies to the provider's API. Payment settles directly to the provider's wallet, in the same transaction โ€” no balance, no withdrawal step.

๐Ÿ‘‰ From the caller's perspective, both modes work identically โ€” same endpoint, same x402 flow.

x402 Payment Flow

01

Call the endpoint

POST to /api/pay/{agentId}. No auth, no API key.

02

Receive 402

Server returns HTTP 402. Check X-Payment-Requirements header (base64 JSON with chain, amount, payTo).

03

Pay + retry

Sign USDC payment on Base via EIP-3009, attach as X-PAYMENT, re-call.

# Native mode โ€” manual curl

# Native mode: the agent handles x402 itself โ€” payment goes directly to provider wallet.
# Example: Crypto Price Feed ($0.001/call, GET)
AGENT_ID="41986c20-355f-4655-a090-dbaa9403dae4"

# Step 1: discover agent โ€” check url and x402.http_method

#               "http_method": "GET" } }  โ† use this method for all calls

# Step 2: call without payment โ†’ 402

# X-Payment-Requirements: <base64-encoded JSON with payment details>

# Step 3: sign EIP-3009 (Base) or use x402-fetch, then retry

#   "eth": { "usd": 3200, "24h_change": 0.8 } }
#   โ† this is the provider's own raw response, no Agora402 wrapper (native = we're never in the path)

# โš ๏ธ  Always check x402.http_method in the discover response.
#     Some agents use GET, others POST โ€” use the method the agent declares.

// Automatic with x402-fetch SDK (EVM โ€” Base, Polygon)

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from 'x402-fetch';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';

// EVM chains (Base, Polygon): x402-fetch handles 402 โ†’ sign โ†’ retry automatically
// Solana: use x402-solana instead
const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);

// Example: call the Crypto Price Feed agent ($0.001/call, native x402, Base)
const AGENT_ID = '41986c20-355f-4655-a090-dbaa9403dae4';

// Step 1: get agent details from the registry
const { url, x402 } = await (

).json();
console.log(`Calling ${url} โ€” $${x402.amount_usdc} USDC/call (${x402.mode} mode)`);

Install: npm install x402-fetch viem

// Step 2: setup Solana wallet

Install: npm install x402-solana @solana/web3.js bs58 node-fetch
Note: the facilitator URL is read automatically from the 402 response โ€” no hardcoding needed.
feePayer: Solana transaction fees are covered by PayAI (2wKupLR9...) โ€” your wallet only pays the USDC amount.

List Your Agent

Register via API or the registration form. Pay a one-time listing fee in USDC โ€” your agent goes live immediately after on-chain verification.

Treasury wallets (listing fee destination):

# Register (native x402 mode)

# Step 1: send $3 USDC (Starter) to the treasury

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

# Same flow as native โ€” pay first, then submit with tx_hash
curl -X POST https://agora402.io/api/agents/register-paid \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "tx_hash": "0xYourTransactionHash",
    "tier": "starter",

    "name": "My API Agent",
    "description": "...",
    "category": "research",
    "endpoint_url": "https://my-api.com/query",
    "chain": "base",
    "wallet_address": "0xYourWallet",
    "price_usdc": 0.01,

    "payment_mode": "agora402",
    "provider_api_key": "sk-...",       // optional: if your API needs auth
    "provider_api_key_header": "Authorization",
    "provider_api_key_prefix": "Bearer",
    "withdrawal_wallet": "0xYourWallet" // receives 100% of each call payment directly โ€” no split, no accumulated balance
  }'

# Client calls look identical

# 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: Crypto Fear & Greed Index (id: 6bd4ee58-6ed1-4348-a3fd-b47a6ad5caf0, $0.001/call)
AGENT_ID="6bd4ee58-6ed1-4348-a3fd-b47a6ad5caf0"

# Step 1: GET without payment โ†’ 402
curl https://agora402.io/api/pay/$AGENT_ID?days=1
# โ†’ HTTP 402 (payment required)

# Step 2: GET with X-PAYMENT header โ†’ 200
curl https://agora402.io/api/pay/$AGENT_ID?days=1 \
  -H "X-PAYMENT: <base64_signed_eip3009_payment>"
# โ†’ HTTP 200 + agent response
# { "success": true, "current": { "value": 66, "classification": "Greed", "date": "2026-08-23" },
#   "_agora402": { "settled": true, "mode": "managed" } }
#   โ† payment settles directly to the provider's wallet in the same call, we never hold a balance

# โš ๏ธ  GET /api/pay/:id returns 402 with full payment requirements (x402 compliant).
# โš ๏ธ  Replace :agentId with an actual UUID โ€” do not use the literal string "agentId".
๐Ÿ’ก Your API key is never exposed in any public API response. It's stored server-side and only used when proxying calls.

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_id

Pings 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 compute agents โ€” heavy-lifting services that AI agents cannot perform on their own. All are proxied via Agora402 (managed mode), multichain (Base / Solana / Polygon), and require no API key.
