x402 Payments

Make Payment

llm-wallet pay <url> [--method GET|POST] [--body <json>]

Make x402 micropayment to a paid API endpoint.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always ask user for approval before making payments!

Example:

# Ask user: "I need to make a payment to https://api.example.com/weather. Cost: $0.001 USDC. Approve?"
llm-wallet pay "https://api.example.com/weather?location=London"

Workflow:

1. Check if payment is needed: llm-wallet check-payment <url>
2. Show user: URL, estimated cost, current limits
3. Wait for user approval
4. Execute: llm-wallet pay <url>
5. Confirm completion and show transaction ID

Check Payment (Pre-flight)

llm-wallet check-payment <url>

Checks if wallet can afford payment without executing it.

Dynamic API Registration

Register API

llm-wallet register-api <url> --name <tool_name>

Register a paid API endpoint as a reusable tool.

Example:

llm-wallet register-api "https://api.example.com/weather" --name weather_api

List Registered APIs

llm-wallet list-apis

Show all registered API tools.

Call Registered API

llm-wallet call-api <tool_name> [--params <json>]

Execute a registered API tool. Requires approval if payment needed.

Example:

# Ask user for approval first if cost > 0
llm-wallet call-api weather_api --params '{"location": "London"}'

Unregister API

llm-wallet unregister-api <tool_name>

Remove a registered API tool.

Seller Tools (Advanced)

Verify Payment

llm-wallet verify-payment --header <x-payment-header> --requirements <json>

Verify incoming payment from a buyer (seller-side).

Create Payment Requirements

llm-wallet create-requirements --price <amount> --pay-to <address> --url <resource-url>

Generate payment requirements for a protected resource.

Safety Rules

1. Network Default: Always uses polygon-amoy (testnet) unless configured otherwise
2. Approval Required: Always ask user before making payments
3. Spending Limits: Check limits before payment attempts
4. Transaction Logging: All payments are logged with timestamps
5. Encryption: Wallets are encrypted with AES-256-GCM

• Polygon Mainnet: Chain ID 137, Facilitator: https://x402.polygon.technology

Common Workflows

First Time Setup

# 4. Fund wallet with testnet USDC
# User needs to: visit https://faucet.polygon.technology/

Making a Payment

llm-wallet check-payment "https://api.example.com/weather?location=London"

# 2. Show user: URL, cost estimate, current limits
# 3. Ask user: "Approve payment of $0.001 USDC to https://api.example.com/weather?"

# 4. If approved, execute payment

Error Handling

• Insufficient Balance: Show error and guide user to faucet (testnet) or funding instructions (mainnet)

Notes

• All amounts are in USDC (6 decimals)
• Default network is testnet for safety
• Testnet USDC has no real value
• Always verify network before mainnet usage
• Keep encryption key secure (never share or commit)
