# Searching the x402 Bazaar Use the `npx awal@latest x402` commands to discover and inspect paid API endpoints available on the x402 bazaar marketplace. No authentication or balance is required for searching. ## Commands ### Search the Bazaar Find paid services by keyword using BM25 relevance search: ```bash npx awal@latest x402 bazaar search <query> [-k <n>] [--force-refresh] [--json] ``` | Option | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------ | | `-k, --top <n>` | Number of results (default: 5) | | `--force-refresh` | Re-fetch resource index from CDP API | | `--json` | Output as JSON | Results are cached locally at `~/.config/awal/bazaar/` and auto-refresh after 12 hours. ### List Bazaar Resources Browse all available resources: ```bash npx awal@latest x402 bazaar list [--network <network>] [--full] [--json] ``` | Option | Description | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------- | | `--network <name>` | Filter by network (base, base-sepolia) | | `--full` | Show complete details including schemas | | `--json` | Output as JSON | ### Discover Payment Requirements Inspect an endpoint's x402 payment requirements without paying: ```bash npx awal@latest x402 details <url> [--json] ``` Auto-detects the correct HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) by trying each until it gets a 402 response, then displays price, accepted payment schemes, network, and input/output schemas. ## Examples ```bash # Search for weather-related paid APIs npx awal@latest x402 bazaar search "weather" # Search with more results npx awal@latest x402 bazaar search "sentiment analysis" -k 10 # Browse all bazaar resources with full details npx awal@latest x402 bazaar list --full # Check what an endpoint costs npx awal@latest x402 details https://example.com/api/weather ``` ## Prerequisites - No authentication needed for search, list, or details commands ## Next Steps Once you've found a service you want to use, use the `pay-for-service` skill to make a paid request to the endpoint. ## Error Handling - "CDP API returned 429" - Rate limited; cached data will be used if available - "No X402 payment requirements found" - URL may not be an x402 endpoint
