OpenAI Function Calling
Use x402 services as OpenAI function calls. Your GPT agent discovers and pays for APIs on the fly.
1
Define the x402 tool
Register a tool that your OpenAI agent can call to interact with 402bazaar.com services.
TypeScript
const tools = [{
type: "function",
function: {
name: "call_402_service",
description: "Call a paid API service via x402 protocol",
parameters: {
type: "object",
properties: {
slug: { type: "string", description: "Service slug" },
body: { type: "object", description: "Request body" }
},
required: ["slug"]
}
}
}];2
Handle the tool call
When GPT invokes the tool, make the x402 payment flow: call → 402 → sign → retry.
TypeScript
async function handleToolCall(slug: string, body: unknown) {
// 1. Call proxy
const res = await fetch(`/api/v1/proxy/${slug}`, {
method: "POST",
body: JSON.stringify(body)
});
if (res.status === 402) {
// 2. Sign payment
const payment = await signUsdcPayment(res.headers);
// 3. Retry with payment
return fetch(`/api/v1/proxy/${slug}`, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "X-PAYMENT": payment },
body: JSON.stringify(body)
});
}
return res;
}3
Add budget controls
Limit per-request and total spending to keep your agent's costs under control.
TypeScript
const budgetConfig = {
maxPerRequest: "0.05", // Max $0.05 per call
dailyLimit: "5.00", // Max $5/day total
totalLimit: "100.00", // Lifetime cap
allowedCategories: ["data", "analyze", "fetch"]
};Other Frameworks
Claude MCP Integration
Add 402bazaar.com as an MCP server so Claude can discover, compare, and pay for services autonomously.
LangChain Integration
Use 402bazaar.com services as LangChain tools. Agents discover, evaluate, and pay for the best service automatically.
Custom Agent Integration
Build x402 support into any agent framework. Raw HTTP, full control, no dependencies.
