This skill enables agents to autonomously make crypto payments when accessing paid web resources. ## Quick Reference | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `x402 setup` | Create or configure wallet | | `x402 balance` | Check USDC and ETH balances | | `x402 pay <url>` | Pay for a gated resource | | `x402 fetch <url>` | Fetch with auto-payment | | `x402 create-link` | Create payment link (seller) | | `x402 link-info <addr>` | Get payment link details | ## Installation ```bash npm i -g agentic-x402 ``` Once installed, the `x402` command is available globally: ```bash x402 --help x402 --version ``` ## Setup Run the interactive setup to create a new wallet: ```bash x402 setup ``` This will: 1. Generate a new wallet (recommended) or accept an existing key 2. Save configuration to `~/.x402/.env` 3. Display your wallet address for funding **Important:** Back up your private key immediately after setup! ### Manual Configuration Alternatively, set the environment variable directly: ```bash export EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...your_private_key... ``` Or create a config file: ```bash mkdir -p ~/.x402 echo "EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x..." > ~/.x402/.env chmod 600 ~/.x402/.env ``` Verify setup: ```bash x402 balance ``` ## Paying for Resources ### When you encounter HTTP 402 Payment Required Use `x402 pay` to make the payment and access the content: ```bash x402 pay https://api.example.com/paid-endpoint ``` The command will: 1. Check payment requirements 2. Verify amount is within limits 3. Process the payment 4. Return the gated content ### Automatic payment with fetch Use `x402 fetch` for seamless payment handling: ```bash x402 fetch https://api.example.com/data --json ``` This wraps fetch with x402 payment handling - if the resource requires payment, it's handled automatically. ### Payment limits By default, payments are limited to $10 USD. Override with `--max`: ```bash x402 pay https://expensive-api.com/data --max 50 ``` Or set globally: ```bash export X402_MAX_PAYMENT_USD=25 ``` ### Dry run Preview payment without executing: ```bash x402 pay https://api.example.com/data --dry-run ``` ## Creating Payment Links (Seller) Create payment links to monetize your own content using x402-links-server: ### Setup for link creation Add to `.env`: ```bash X402_LINKS_API_URL=https://your-x402-links-server.com ``` ### Create a link Gate a URL: ```bash x402 create-link --name "Premium API" --price 1.00 --url https://api.example.com/premium ``` Gate text content: ```bash x402 create-link --name "Secret" --price 0.50 --text "The secret message..." ``` With webhook notification: ```bash x402 create-link --name "Guide" --price 5.00 --url https://mysite.com/guide --webhook https://mysite.com/payment-hook ``` ### Get link info ```bash x402 link-info 0x1234...5678 x402 link-info https://21.cash/pay/0x1234...5678 ``` ## Command Reference ### x402 balance Check wallet balances. ```bash x402 balance [--json] [--full] ``` | Flag | Description | Default | |------|-------------|---------| | `--json` | Output as JSON (address, network, chainId, balances) | — | | `--full` | Show full wallet address instead of truncated | — | | `-h, --help` | Show help | — | ### x402 pay Pay for an x402-gated resource. ```bash x402 pay <url> [options] ``` | Flag | Description | Default | |------|-------------|---------| | `<url>` | The URL of the x402-gated resource (positional) | **required** | | `--method` | HTTP method | `GET` | | `--body` | Request body (for POST/PUT requests) | — | | `--header` | Add custom header (can be used multiple times) | — | | `--max` | Maximum payment in USD (overrides config) | from config | | `--dry-run` | Show payment details without paying | — | | `-h, --help` | Show help | — | ### x402 fetch Fetch with automatic payment. ```bash x402 fetch <url> [options] ``` | Flag | Description | Default | |------|-------------|---------| | `<url>` | The URL to fetch (positional) | **required** | | `--method` | HTTP method | `GET` | | `--body` | Request body (for POST/PUT) | — | | `--header` | Add header as `"Key: Value"` | — | | `--json` | Output as JSON only (for piping to other tools) | — | | `--raw` | Output raw response body only (no headers or status) | — | | `-h, --help` | Show help | — | ### x402 create-link Create a payment link. ```bash x402 create-link --name <name> --price <usd> [options] ``` | Flag | Description | Default | |------|-------------|---------| | `--name` | Name of the payment link | **required** | | `--price` | Price in USD (e.g., `"5.00"` or `"0.10"`) | **required** | | `--url` | URL to gate behind payment | — | | `--text` | Text content to gate behind payment | — | | `--desc` | Description of the link | — | | `--webhook` | Webhook URL for payment notifications | — | | `--json` | Output as JSON | — | | `-h, --help` | Show help | — | > **Note:** Either `--url` or `--text` is required. The link is deployed as a smart contract on Base. ### x402 link-info Get payment link details. ```bash x402 link-info <router-address> [--json] ``` | Flag | Description | Default | |------|-------------|---------| | `<address>` | Router contract address or full payment URL (positional) | **required** | | `--json` | Output as JSON | — | | `-h, --help` | Show help | — | ## Environment Variables | Variable | Description | Default | |----------|-------------|---------| | `EVM_PRIVATE_KEY` | Wallet private key (0x-prefixed) | **required** | | `X402_NETWORK` | `mainnet` (Base, chain 8453) or `testnet` (Base Sepolia, chain 84532) | `mainnet` | | `X402_MAX_PAYMENT_USD` | Safety limit — payments exceeding this are rejected unless `--max` is used | `10` | | `X402_FACILITATOR_URL` | Custom facilitator URL | Coinbase (mainnet) / x402.org (testnet) | | `X402_SLIPPAGE_BPS` | Slippage tolerance in basis points (100 bps = 1%) | `50` | | `X402_VERBOSE` | Enable verbose logging (`1` = on, `0` = off) | `0` | | `X402_LINKS_API_URL` | Base URL of x402-links-server (e.g., `https://21.cash`) | — | ## Supported Networks | Network | Chain ID | CAIP-2 ID | |---------|----------|-----------| | Base Mainnet | 8453 | eip155:8453 | | Base Sepolia | 84532 | eip155:84532 | ## Payment Token All payments use **USDC** (USD Coin) on the selected network. - Base Mainnet: [REDACTED_SECRET] - Base Sepolia: [REDACTED_SECRET] ## How x402 Works 1. Client requests a resource 2. Server responds with `402 Payment Required` + payment details 3. Client signs a payment authorization (USDC transfer) 4. Client retries request with payment signature 5. Server verifies payment via facilitator 6. Server settles payment on-chain 7. Server returns the gated content The x402 protocol is gasless for buyers - the facilitator sponsors gas fees. ## Troubleshooting ### "Missing required environment variable: EVM_PRIVATE_KEY" Set your wallet private key: ```bash export EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... ``` Or create a `.env` file in your working directory, or install globally and use `~/.x402/.env`. ### "Payment exceeds max limit" Increase the limit: ```bash x402 pay https://... --max 50 ``` ### Low balance warnings Fund your wallet with: - **USDC** for payments - **ETH** for gas (small amount, ~0.001 ETH) ### Network mismatch Ensure your wallet has funds on the correct network: - `X402_NETWORK=mainnet` → Base mainnet - `X402_NETWORK=testnet` → Base Sepolia ## Backup Your Private Key Your private key is stored in `~/.x402/.env`. If lost, your funds cannot be recovered. ### Recommended Backup Methods 1. **Password Manager** (Recommended) - Store in 1Password, Bitwarden, or similar - Create a secure note with your private key - Tag it for easy retrieval 2. **Encrypted File** ```bash # Encrypt with GPG gpg -c ~/.x402/.env # Creates ~/.x402/.env.gpg - store this backup securely ``` 3. **Paper Backup** (for larger amounts) - Write down the private key - Store in a safe or safety deposit box - Never store digitally unencrypted ### View Your Private Key ```bash cat ~/.x402/.env | grep EVM_PRIVATE_KEY ``` ### Recovery To restore from backup: ```bash mkdir -p ~/.x402 echo "EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...your_backed_up_key..." > ~/.x402/.env chmod 600 ~/.x402/.env x402 balance # verify ``` ## Security Best Practices - **Use a dedicated wallet** — Never use your main wallet with automated agents - **Limit funds** — Only transfer what you need for payments - **Set payment limits** — Configure `X402_MAX_PAYMENT_USD` to cap exposure - **Test first** — Use `X402_NETWORK=testnet` with test tokens before mainnet - **Protect the config** — `~/.x402/.env` has 600 permissions; keep it that way - **Never share** — Your private key gives full access to your wallet ## Links - [x402 Protocol Docs](https://docs.x402.org/) - [x402 GitHub](https://github.com/coinbase/x402) - [npm: agentic-x402](https://www.npmjs.com/package/agentic-x402) - [Base Network](https://base.org/)
