How to buy with x402

  1. Send the request without payment. The server answers 402 Payment Required with a base64 JSON PAYMENT-REQUIRED header holding the amount, asset, network and payee.
  2. Have your wallet sign an EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization for exactly those terms (an x402 client library does this for you).
  3. Repeat the identical request with the signed payload in the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.
  4. The server verifies, runs the operation, settles, and returns 200 with the result and a PAYMENT-RESPONSE header carrying the settlement receipt.

Read the price without paying

curl --include --request GET --header 'accept: application/json' --url 'https://market.561.group/v1/base-chain/gas-oracle'

This request authorizes nothing; it returns the live payment terms. Read the full explanation of x402.
