Pricing
Pay per query in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol. No accounts, subscriptions, minimums, or API keys. The price is the entire cost — no gas fees (EIP-3009 transfers are gasless for the payer).
| Endpoint | Price (USDC) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
GET /demo?query=TERM | Free | 5 alphabetized suggestions, 3 queries/day per IP |
GET /suggest?query=TERM | $0.005 | Full domain name suggestions (stemming, IDN normalization, alternatives) |
GET /status?domain=DOMAIN&scope=estimate | $0.005 | DNS-based availability estimate |
GET /status?domain=DOMAIN | $0.020 | Registry-precise availability check |
POST /scout (quick) | $0.15 | Research job: brainstorm, expand, availability screen, rank |
POST /scout (deep) | $0.50 | Quick tier plus registry-precise verification and web diligence |
GET /scout/JOB_ID | Free | Poll a Scout job |
Scout's two tiers share one endpoint: the 402 response offers both prices and the amount paid selects the tier.
Prices are denominated in USDC atomic units in the x402 payment requirements (1,000,000 = $1.00): suggest 5000, status 20000, estimate 5000, scout 150000 quick / 500000 deep.
Rate limits apply only to the free demo endpoint. Paid endpoints have none.
Machine-readable pricing also appears in openapi.json (x-payment-info per operation) and in each endpoint's x402 402 response.
