What is a 402 Payment Required response in an API marketplace?▼

A 402 Payment Required response in an API marketplace indicates that an AI agent has encountered a paywall when requesting external data or automation services, triggering an on-chain USDC payment flow on the Base network to unlock the proxy call.

How do I handle on-chain USDC payments on Base for API marketplace access?▼

To handle on-chain USDC payments on Base for API marketplace access, you install the Nightmarket skill, route agent requests through its proxy URL, and process the resulting 402 payment flow automatically using CrowPay to unlock the external service.

Can I use MCP tooling for tool-based access to external API services?▼

Yes, you can use optional MCP tooling for tool-based access to external API services, enabling AI agents to discover, integrate, and pay for external data, analytics, or automation services seamlessly without managing individual API subscriptions.

Do I need API keys to enrich AI agents with external data services?▼

No, you do not need API keys to enrich AI agents with external data services when using a proxy call flow with on-chain USDC payments, because the system abstracts authentication and handles micro-transactions automatically via the API marketplace.
