Live 402 challenge

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

  "error": "X-PAYMENT header is required. This endpoint costs $9.90 USDC, above the x402 client default maxValue of $0.10 — raise maxValue to at least 9900000 atomic units, or your own client rejects this payment locally and no request ever reaches us. Do not want to raise it? A cheaper alternative you can run right now: GET /gauge?signal_id=hydrology.river-level&entity=07010000 ($0.01 USDC) - the same official signal plus its offline-recomputable proof - no three-leg chain, one signal only.",

      "rails": "The v2 challenge lists the Solana rail without an opt-in, while this v1 body does not.
