Skill 文档

pay-for-http-request

Make HTTP requests with automatic x402 payment support using purl.

Description

This skill enables making HTTP requests to payment-gated APIs using purl, a curl-like CLI tool that automatically handles x402-based payments on EVM and Solana networks.

When to Use This Skill

When an API returns HTTP 402 (Payment Required) and supports the x402 payment protocol, purl can automatically negotiate and execute the payment to access the resource.

Common Scenarios

Scenario	Example
Tool calls	Paying per request to an API service
Premium data feeds	Accessing real-time market data, weather, or analytics
Content monetization	Paying to access paywalled articles or media
Compute resources	On-demand access to compute or storage services

When NOT to Use

Regular HTTP requests that don’t require payment (use curl instead)
APIs using traditional payment methods (credit cards, API keys with billing)
