SYNOPSIS
POST https://x402.agentutility.ai/materials-price-check
Content-Type: application/json
X-PAYMENT: <signed-transferWithAuthorization>
{ ... }↳ first call →
402 Payment Required. Sign USDCtransferWithAuthorization, retry with theX-PAYMENT header.DESCRIPTION
Supply/materials price check: shopping-intent retail listings with detected prices, a web search for bulk/wholesale pricing context, and (when a non-USD currency is requested) an fx reference rate, in one call. Composite: one call runs product-search as the required leg, then search and (when needed) exchange-rates in parallel as optional legs, so a miss on either degrades the response instead of failing the call. Use it as a materials or supply price check for agents doing procurement or cost research.
