Not responding. This endpoint did not answer its last liveness check (2026-10-13). It may be temporarily down.

Mirrored from Coinbase's public x402 Bazaar. The description is the provider's own text and has not been reviewed here; the payment requirements are copied as published.

What it does

Competitors for one x402 resource or capability, over our ~18,000-service harvest of the x402 directories plus our own unpaid 402 probes. Returns the price band (min/median/p90/n) over real listings only, price provenance per rival, whether it publishes a spec an agent can call unattended, observed 30-day demand and settlement network. Never probed reads observed:false, never a guess. Buy before pricing or listing a service, or choosing an endpoint. Charges nothing when nothing matches.

Use with an agent

Discover. Agents find this listing with GET https://bazaar.saylorinnovations.com/discovery/search?query=…, the MCP tool search_resources, or /discovery/resources.
Inspect. Fetch /resources/7540.json for the price and payment options.
Pay. Call GET https://animica.dev/x402/market/competitors. The provider answers 402 with its payment requirements. An x402 client signs one of the options below and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
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.
