ThirdMade Turns API Calls Into Tiny USDC Transactions

thirdmade.net Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

ThirdMade offers pay-per-call APIs for AI agents, with machine-readable prices, x402 settlement on Base, and JSON responses returned in the same request flow.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

ThirdMade uses an HTTP 402 challenge as a machine-readable price quote: an agent calls a route, receives the amount and schema, settles USDC on Base, and retries with an X-PAYMENT header. The visible catalog includes a $0.01 page scraper, free service-health and robots probes, and routes priced at $0.001 or $0.01. Its documentation also points to a public status page and a runnable verify-loop repository.
