HALOWERK provides paid endpoints that AI agents call and pay for per request via x402 on Base. No account, no API key, no signup.
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.

"description": "Reports what actually moves through a European port and how that developed, from the quarterly Eurostat port statistics covering 837 ports, addressable by name or by UN/LOCODE. Throughput is given per quarter split into inbound and outbound, with the imbalance between the two, the change against the same quarter a year earlier, and the direction over the whole observed window. When coordinates are supplied, the berths, cranes, terminals and quays recorded in OpenStreetMap around that point are counted as an indication of the handling capacity behind those tonnes. The endpoint is explicit about what it is not, because its name promises otherwise: it measures no waiting times and no ships at anchor, since that requires AIS and AIS is not available without a paid feed. More importantly it states in every response how old the newest figure is, because these statistics lag by two to three quarters, so the answer describes the load a port carried last year and says nothing about the queue outside it today. Both limits are carried as fields rather than footnotes, and the congestion assessment names the basis it rests on instead of implying a live measurement.",

Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.
GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints
This endpoint's own trailing-30-day call count, as published by the upstream catalog and snapshotted daily. 18 snapshots so far. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service karte.halowerk.com 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=karte.halowerk.com' 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://karte.halowerk.com/v1/port-congestion, 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.
