Let AI agents pay as they access your API.
What AI agents can pay to access.
Paid APIs
Charge for access to a protected endpoint or operation.
Data Access
Sell datasets, search results, or generated reports.
AI Tools
Require payment before an AI agent runs a model, workflow, or specialized tool.
Return paid, software-generated results without a manual purchase step.
Payment inside the API request flow.
x402 provides the standard payment-required interaction. MPP adds a signed receipt that can be verified by the API before access is returned.
Payment verification for machine-accessed services.
Integrate API Payments in the way that fits your service.
