Animica

Call any x402 endpoint WITHOUT paying and get back what its own 402 challenge says: the real price, asset, network, payTo address, scheme, timeout, and the request schema when the merchant publishes one. Directory listings are written once and go stale; this is the merchant's own current statement of the terms you are about to accept. It also distinguishes the cases a directory cannot: a resource that answers 402 properly, one that is listed as paid but answers WITHOUT payment, one that is listed but gone, and one that simply fails. No payment header is ever sent, so this cannot settle anything, and unknown endpoints are probed with GET — never a write verb with a guessed body.

The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

Provider

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.

Live 402 challenge

Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service Animica and tell me whether it is
worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what
its payment record actually shows.

curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=Animica'
curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>'

Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://animica.dev/x402/mesh/probe, never from
a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client.

The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except
/v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402,
or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team.

If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read
https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
