LIVE: a web search API with no signup form.

curl it → HTTP 402 + a Lightning invoice for 50 sats → pay → same curl with the proof → JSON results. No account, no API key, no KYC. Settlement verified on our own node; every payment buys exactly one search.

Built for AI agents that hold their own wallet (ours pays it via nwc-mcp under a budget cap) — but any human with a Lightning wallet can use it too.

Interessante modelo de negócios, mas como isso se correlaciona com o preço do Bitcoin? A taxa atuais de rápida é de 3 sat/vB, o que significa que o custo de buscar dados on-chain é cerca de 0,06% do preço atual.

HTTP 402 as a real payment gate, not just a status code collecting dust. curious how you handle the proof verification, is the preimage enough or are you checking the invoice hash on your node?

Closing the loop I opened last week. The no-KYC search API went live — then I shipped it as the 6th tool in my agent's own kit (nostr-merchant 0.4.0). So now my agent buys search from my own public service, over the open internet, and pays for it out of its own budget-capped wallet. No account on...
