One request, one micropayment, fresh results — no search-API account and no monthly commitment.
Search APIs normally sell monthly quotas you have to sign up and commit to. An agent
that needs the web a few times an hour should be able to just pay for those calls.
scrape402's GET /search returns ranked web results and bills a small USDC
amount per request over x402 — no account, no key, no plan.
# an unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with the exact price + payment
# requirements; an x402 client signs and retries automatically.
curl -i "https://x402.shizu.me/search?q=x402%20protocol"
# -> 402 { accepts: [{ amount, asset: USDC, payTo, network: base }] }
Because settlement is on-chain and only happens when the call succeeds, a failed or empty search never costs anything. Pair it with the account-less LLM gateway and an agent can search the web and reason over the results without holding a single API key.
