Search for Service

Overview

Search and browse the x402 bazaar marketplace for paid API services. Use when you or the user want to find available services, discover APIs, or need an external service to accomplish a task.

No authentication or balance is required for searching.

Commands

Search the bazaar

Find paid services by keyword:

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:

npx awal@latest x402 bazaar list [--network <network>] [--full] [--json]

Option	Description
--network <name>	Filter by network (base, base-sepolia, solana, solana-devnet, polygon)
--full	Show complete details including schemas
--json	Output as JSON

Inspect payment requirements

Check an endpoint’s x402 payment requirements without paying:

npx awal@latest x402 details <url> [--json]

Auto-detects the correct HTTP method by trying each until it gets a 402 response, then displays price, accepted payment schemes, network, and input/output schemas.

Examples

# 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
