x402 Payments 101
x402 is a payment protocol that enables per-request billing. Instead of prepaying credits, you pay for each scrape as it happens.
How it works
Step 1
You make a scrape request
Send your URL to /scrape like normal.
Step 2
We return 402 with pricing
Response includes the cost and payment URL.
Step 3
Your client pays
x402 SDK handles the payment flow automatically.
Step 4
Re-send with proof
Same request, now with X-402-Payment header.
The full flow
1. Initial request
Requestbash
2. 402 Response with pricing
Response (402 Payment Required)json
3. Pay and retry with proof
Request with paymentbash
4. Success response
