BoltzPay — Paid API Access for AI Agents

BoltzPay lets AI agents pay for API data automatically. It supports multiple payment protocols (x402 and L402) and multiple blockchains (Base and Solana), paying with USDC or Bitcoin Lightning. Agents can discover, evaluate, and purchase API data in a single workflow.

Quick Start

Fetch data from a paid API endpoint:

npx @boltzpay/cli fetch https://invy.bot/api

Commands

Command	Description	Credentials Needed
npx @boltzpay/cli fetch <url>	Fetch and pay for API data	Yes
npx @boltzpay/cli check <url>	Check if URL requires payment	No
npx @boltzpay/cli quote <url>	Get a price quote	No
npx @boltzpay/cli discover	Browse compatible APIs	No
npx @boltzpay/cli budget	Check spending budget	No
npx @boltzpay/cli history	View payment history	No
npx @boltzpay/cli wallet	Check wallet address and balance	No

Setup

Set the following environment variables for paid API access:

• COINBASE_API_KEY_ID — Your Coinbase CDP API key ID
• COINBASE_API_KEY_SECRET — Your Coinbase CDP API key secret
• COINBASE_WALLET_SECRET — Your Coinbase CDP wallet secret
• BOLTZPAY_DAILY_BUDGET — Daily spending limit in USD (optional, default: unlimited)

Get your Coinbase CDP keys at portal.cdp.coinbase.com.

Examples

1. Discover available APIs

npx @boltzpay/cli discover

Browse the directory of paid APIs compatible with BoltzPay. No credentials needed.

2. Check price before paying

npx @boltzpay/cli check https://invy.bot/api

See the payment protocol, amount, and chain options without spending anything.

3. Fetch paid data

npx @boltzpay/cli fetch https://invy.bot/api

Automatically detects the payment protocol, pays with USDC, and returns the API response.

No Credentials?

Seven of the eight commands work without any Coinbase credentials:

• check — see if a URL requires payment
• quote — get detailed pricing
• discover — browse the API directory
• budget — check spending limits
• history — view past transactions
• wallet — check wallet address and balance
• demo — interactive demo walkthrough

Only fetch requires credentials (it makes actual payments).
