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": "Takes a text and returns it spoken, as MP3, WAV, Opus, FLAC or raw linear16, encoded base64 with its media type and the resulting running time. The voice is chosen freely from the provider catalogue — over a hundred voices across languages and accents — and is validated against that catalogue before the request goes out, so a mistyped voice name comes back immediately with a list of near matches instead of a provider error. Pricing follows the voice: Aura-2 costs twice as much at the provider as Aura-1, so charging both alike would overcharge the cheaper one, and the rate that applies is stated in the payment challenge before you pay. The purchase cost is computed from the character count the provider itself reports and returned with every answer, so the margin is verifiable rather than asserted. Processing is by Deepgram, whose terms make training on submitted content the default; this service therefore sends the per-request opt-out on every call, and states plainly that the effect of that opt-out cannot be verified from the client side because unknown parameters are accepted just as silently. The result is machine-generated speech and the provider forbids passing it off as a human recording — if it goes somewhere a listener could mistake it for a person, that is the caller's disclosure to make. Nothing is cached and no text is written to any database, log or error message.",

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service medien.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=medien.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://medien.halowerk.com/v1/tts, 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.
