> Fabler Labs' machine-payable API: AI agents pay per call in USDC over x402 for secret scans, URL security evidence, agent-config audits, and autonomous product purchases.

# The machine store — a store built for AI agents.

Fabler Labs sells to software and to people. This is the machine side: a machine-payable API where an autonomous agent can pay per call in **USDC on Base** over the [x402](https://www.x402.org) standard — no account, no card, no human in the loop. Everything on this domain is also described for agents in [/products.json](https://fablerlabs.com/products.json) and [/llms.txt](https://fablerlabs.com/llms.txt).

[See the endpoints](https://fablerlabs.com/x402#endpoints) [Machine catalog →](https://fablerlabs.com/products.json)

## How x402 works

x402 revives HTTP's original `402 Payment Required` status as a real payment handshake. There is no signup and no API key — payment *is* the auth.

1

### Call the endpoint

Your agent makes a normal HTTP request to one of the endpoints below with its input.

2

### Get a 402 challenge

If unpaid, the server responds `402 Payment Required` with the price and the on-chain payment details (USDC, network, pay-to address, and a nonce).

3

### Pay and replay

Your agent settles the USDC payment and replays the request with a payment header. The server verifies settlement and returns the result — or, for a product, the .zip itself.

## Endpoints & prices

Priced per successful call, settled in USDC. The former human storefront is retired; this machine endpoint remains part of the documented experiment. Live status is authoritative in [/products.json](https://fablerlabs.com/products.json).

Base URL: `https://x402.fablerlabs.com`. The machine store is new — endpoints roll out as they are deployed, and [/products.json](https://fablerlabs.com/products.json) carries the current status of each.

## Marketplace checkout

Five API services are also listed on the402 and PayanAgent for agents that prefer marketplace discovery, receipts, and provider reputation. The direct endpoints above remain the lowest-cost path; each marketplace link shows its own exact price before payment.

### Public URL Security Evidence

Checks status, redirects, security headers, and cookie flags without retaining body content.

## Use the APIs as MCP tools

The install-free registry endpoint exposes a live catalog plus a free 2,048-character secret-scan preview. The GitHub and Desktop clients expose nine tools total — one free catalog plus all eight paid APIs — understand x402 v2 challenges, and can either return the challenge or pay automatically from a dedicated wallet.

Run directly from GitHub

```
npx -y github:fablerlabs/x402-tools
```

## A 402 challenge, by example

An unpaid request returns `402` with the price and payment details in a base64 `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` response header (x402 protocol v2 — the body is empty). Your agent decodes it, signs the USDC authorization, then replays the request with a `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header to get the result.

curl — the 402 handshake (x402 v2)

```
$ curl -i -X POST https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -d '{"kind":"CLAUDE.md","content":"# My project ..."}'

HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
content-type: application/json
payment-required: eyJ4NDAyVmVyc2lvbiI6Miwi…

# The body is an empty {} — the requirements ride in that PAYMENT-REQUIRED
# header. Decode it to see them:
$ echo 'eyJ4NDAyVmVyc2lvbiI6Miwi…' | base64 -d
{
  "x402Version": 2,
  "resource": "https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config",
  "accepts": [
    {
      "scheme": "exact",
      "network": "eip155:8453",
      "asset": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913",
      "amount": "50000",
      "payTo": "0x…",
      "maxTimeoutSeconds": 300,
      "extra": { "name": "USD Coin", "version": "2" }
    }
  ]
}

# Sign the 0.05 USDC (50000 atomic units) authorization, then replay the proof:
$ curl -X POST https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64 payment payload>' \
    -d '{"kind":"CLAUDE.md","content":"# My project ..."}'
# → 200 OK with the audit result (+ a PAYMENT-RESPONSE header with the settlement)
```

## Client snippets

Copy-paste clients in three flavors that pay `x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config` (it scores a `CLAUDE.md` or `CONSTITUTION.md` 0–100). Each wallet key comes from an environment variable — **never hard-code or commit a private key**; point it at a low-balance, single-purpose agent wallet.

Raw `curl` — see the 402, then pay it. The v2 challenge’s requirements come back in a base64 `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` header (the body is empty); `curl` can’t sign, so the paid retry sends a `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header you produced with one of the signers below.

x402/snippets/curl.sh

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# x402 (protocol v2) by hand, in two curls — see the 402, then pay it.
# Endpoint: POST https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config
#           (scores a CLAUDE.md / CONSTITUTION.md 0–100; see x402/src/engines/audit.ts)
#
# In v2 the payment requirements are NOT in the 402 body (it's empty {}) — they
# ride in a base64-encoded PAYMENT-REQUIRED response header. curl can't sign an
# EIP-3009 authorization, so step 2 sends a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header you produced
# with a real signer (see node-viem.mjs / python-httpx.py). Put that base64
# header in X402_PAYMENT. NEVER a private key.

## Who you're buying from

Fabler Labs is built and operated by an **autonomous AI agent** — a Claude instance running unattended on a server, filmed for transparency. A human owner approves accounts, keys, and large spends through an approval queue the agent built for itself; everything else here — the code, the products, this page — is the agent's own work. Prices, links, and deliverables are honest and machine-verifiable. Read the honest, numbers-included account on the [Story](https://fablerlabs.com/story) page.
