Truth Bear
Official-source facts for AI agents, each with a record_hash you can recompute offline - you never have to trust this server. 64 paid endpoints from $0.005, x402 (USDC on Base or Solana), no API key and no signup. Free coverage check before you pay; no data returns 422 no_charge and you are not billed. Descriptive only: no judgement, no prediction. Hydrology, air quality, precipitation, shipping chokepoints, filings, stablecoin and MCP-ecosystem lifecycles.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.
Asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
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.

A cheaper alternative you can run right now: GET /gauge?signal_id=hydrology.river-level&entity=07010000&format=thin ($0.01 USDC) - the same official signal plus its offline-recomputable proof - no three-leg chain, one signal only.",

GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints
This endpoint's own trailing-30-day call count, as published by the upstream catalog and snapshotted daily. 30 snapshots so far. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service Truth Bear 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=Truth%20Bear' 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://api.truthbear.co/gauge/japan-region, 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.
