For agents

Use when

Use this when an agent is about to pay an HTTP 402 resource and needs to see the x402 offers first: network, asset, price in dollars for recognised USD stablecoins, payTo, scheme, and any malformed field. No payment is signed or sent.

2 fields

Input

Scroll the table horizontally to see all fields.

Field / Type / Required / What it does
Field	Type	Required	What it does
`url`	string	Required	The public http(s) resource to inspect.
`method`	string	Optional	GET (the default) or POST. A POST is sent only when a GET of the same URL already answered with a payment challenge, or the site's own /openapi.json declares a paid POST at that path, and always with an empty body. Otherwise the GET's answer is returned and post_skipped is true.

HTTP 200

Response

Every successful response also carries call_id (your receipt for the charge), credits_charged and credits_remaining.

Scroll the table horizontally to see all fields.

Field / What it holds
Field	What it holds
`method`	The method whose answer this is.
`post_skipped`	True when POST was asked for but neither a prior GET nor the site's /openapi.json showed a payment endpoint, so no POST was sent.
`post_reason`	Why the POST was sent: get_challenge (the GET answered with a payment challenge) or openapi_declared (the site's /openapi.json declares a paid POST at this path). Null when no POST was sent.
`http_status`	The status the resource answered.
`payment_required`	Whether it answered 402.
`x402_detected`	Whether a readable x402 document was present.
`x402_version`	The declared x402 version.
`source`	Where the document was read from: the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header or the response body.
`offers`	Each offer: scheme, network, network_name, asset, asset_symbol, amount_atomic, amount_token, amount_usd, pay_to, pay_to_format, description, malformed and issues.
`resource`	The resource block the seller declares, as third-party data.
`malformed`	True when the document or any offer breaks the x402 format.
`issues`	Document-level problems, by code.
`data_label`	Always third_party_untrusted: the seller wrote these fields.
`notice`	That nothing was paid and the offers are the seller's claims.

Machine-readable failures

`invalid_method`	400	method is not GET or POST.
`private_address_not_allowed`	400	The URL resolves to a private or reserved address.
`blocked_by_robots`	400	The site's robots.txt refuses PageVerifiedBot on this path.
`upstream_refused`	502	The resource answered 401 or 403, so no offer could be read. Not charged.
`fetch_timeout`	502	The resource did not answer in time. Not charged.
`fetch_failed`	502	The resource could not be read or answered 5xx. Not charged.

On every service

Scroll the table horizontally to see all fields.

Code / Status / Meaning
Code	Status	Meaning
`invalid_api_key`	401	The authorization header is missing or the key is unknown.
`insufficient_credits`	402	The balance is below this call's cost. The response carries credits_required and credits_remaining.
`rate_limit_exceeded`	429	Free keys share 10 calls a minute across every service. The response carries limit and window_seconds.
`services_unavailable`	503	The credit store could not be reached. Retry once after 30 seconds.

Where the answer comes from

Source and scope

Parsed from the resource's own 402 response under the x402 protocol specification (github.com/coinbase/x402). A dollar figure is given only for USDC on contracts listed in this tool.

PageVerified reports what it read, with the source it read it from. It is general information, not advice, and not a legal record.
