What it does

Price positioning for an x402 service. Describe what you sell (and optionally what you charge) and get the comparable set — named, counted, and listed — plus your exact percentile within it, the full decile ladder of what those comparables charge, how much demand sits in each price band, and a suggested band derived from the comparables rather than asserted. Refuses to compute a percentile when too few real comparables exist, because a confident percentile over four loosely-related rows is worse than no answer. Interpretation is written by Animica's own AICF inference network; every figure is computed in code.

Use with an agent

  1. Discover. Agents find this listing with GET https://bazaar.saylorinnovations.com/discovery/search?query=…, the MCP tool search_resources, or /discovery/resources.
  2. Inspect. Fetch /resources/7527.json for the price and payment options.
  3. Pay. Call GET https://animica.dev/x402/analytics/price. The provider answers 402 with its payment requirements. An x402 client signs one of the options below and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
  4. Execute. The provider returns 200 with the data. Agent Bazaar is not in the request path and never sees your payment.

For humans

You don't need an account or an API key; you need a wallet holding a small amount of USDC on Base, animica:1, and an x402-capable client (see the examples below). Call the endpoint unpaid first to see exactly what it asks for.
