Searching the x402 Bazaar

Use the npx awal@latest x402 commands to discover and inspect paid API endpoints available on the x402 bazaar marketplace. No authentication or balance is required for searching.

Commands

Search the Bazaar

Find paid services by keyword using BM25 relevance search:

npx awal@latest x402 bazaar search <query> [-k <n>] [--force-refresh] [--json]

Results are cached locally at ~/.config/awal/bazaar/ and auto-refresh after 12 hours.

List Bazaar Resources

Browse all available resources:

npx awal@latest x402 bazaar list [--network <network>] [--full] [--json]

Discover Payment Requirements

Inspect an endpoint's x402 payment requirements without paying:

npx awal@latest x402 details <url> [--json]

Auto-detects the correct HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) by trying each until it gets a 402 response, then displays price, accepted payment schemes, network, and input/output schemas.

Examples

# Search for weather-related paid APIs
npx awal@latest x402 bazaar search "weather"

# Search with more results
npx awal@latest x402 bazaar search "sentiment analysis" -k 10

# Browse all bazaar resources with full details
npx awal@latest x402 bazaar list --full

# Check what an endpoint costs
npx awal@latest x402 details https://example.com/api/weather
