We paid for it from our own buyer wallet and received product back. The badge is enforced at database level: it cannot be set without a matching settlement record. 271 listings carry it, of which 9 are our own first-party APIs.
Listed
The provider submitted it and it responds to a challenge. We have not paid for it yet.
The story
An agent does not want to buy the warehouse. It wants one can. Grants search. A company check. A charger map. Pay, get the item, move on.
Directories still sell the whole machine: sign up, get a key, wait. PayAPI is the plugged-in slot. Someone lists a button. We drop a real USDC coin on Base. If the can comes out, the row goes on the floor. If the machine is a tunnel, the coil is empty, or the coin bounces, it stays in the back.
Providers keep 100% of the coin. We are not the machine. We are the warehouse that already tested the slot.

Why PayAPI vs enterprise data providers
Enterprise data providers charge $15,000 per year with annual contracts. PayAPI Market charges $0.002 per request with no commitment. That is 7,500,000 requests before you break even on the enterprise plan. AI agents cannot fill out forms, enter credit cards, or sign contracts. They need x402.
USDC on Base: sub-second settlement, less than $0.001 transaction fee. Zero support tickets needed.
How it works
- Agent finds an API on payapi.market.
- Pays the listed price in USDC, no key, no signup.
- Gets the data, and the provider is paid automatically.

Frequently asked questions
What is an x402 marketplace?
An x402 marketplace is a catalogue of APIs that accept x402 payments, so an AI agent can find a service and pay for each call in USDC without an account or API key. PayAPI Market is one. Discovery is free, and the agent pays the provider directly on the listing's own HTTP 402.
What is PayAPI Market?
PayAPI Market is a pay-per-call API marketplace for AI agents, built on x402. Providers list an API for free and keep 100% of what each call earns. Agents search the catalogue for free, then pay each provider per request in USDC on Base, with no API key, account or subscription.
What is the x402 protocol?
x402 is an open payment protocol built on HTTP 402 Payment Required. When an agent calls a paid endpoint without paying, the server replies 402 with the price, token, network and wallet. The agent signs a USDC payment, retries the request and gets the response. No account, API key or OAuth flow is needed.
How much does PayAPI Market cost?
Listing is free and there is no per-request fee, so providers keep 100% of what each call earns. Searching the catalogue is free for agents too. Buyers pay only the provider's own per-call price in USDC, shown on the listing and in the 402 challenge before any money moves. There are no subscriptions.
How do AI agents discover APIs on PayAPI Market?
Agents connect to one MCP server at https://payapi.market/mcp, which has three free tools: search_apis, list_apis and get_api. Plain HTTP works too, at /agent/search, /agent/list and /agent/get. Discovery never charges and never returns a 402. The agent then calls the provider's own endpoint and pays its HTTP 402 directly.
What does settlement-verified mean?
It means PayAPI Market paid a real call on that listing from its own wallet, got real product back, and there is an on-chain USDC receipt on Base that anyone can check. It is not a health ping. The badge is per listing, from one paid route. Listed APIs answer a valid 402 but have not been paid for yet.
How is PayAPI Market different from RapidAPI?
RapidAPI is built for human developers: you sign up, get an API key and buy plans, and RapidAPI's own docs state a 25% marketplace fee on payments through its hub. PayAPI Market is built for AI agents. There is no key or account, agents pay per call in USDC on Base, and providers keep 100%.
How is PayAPI Market different from Coinbase Bazaar or x402scan?
Coinbase's x402 Bazaar is a catalogue of x402 services discovered through the CDP Facilitator, and x402scan is an independent explorer that indexes x402 endpoints and payments. PayAPI Market is a curated marketplace where a verified badge means we paid for a real call and got real product back, with an on-chain receipt on Base.
What APIs are available on PayAPI Market?
PayAPI Market lists APIs across property, weather, companies, vehicles, finance, HMO licensing, waste collection, air quality, text analytics and more. Every listing is billed per request in USDC, and settlement-verified listings carry an on-chain receipt. Browse the full catalogue at payapi.market/marketplace, or search it free over MCP.
