Ontario Protocol
Which x402 API should my agent call? Live API finder for any task. Required: task. Returns up to 5 paid APIs that answered a fresh unpaid probe with a valid Base USDC 402, ranked by task fit, price and Bazaar-reported repeat buyers, each with live price, network and a ready-to-call request. Provider calls are paid separately. No live match, no charge. $0.005 USDC on Base. No account, no API key. Recommendations, not a safety guarantee. By Ontario Protocol.
The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

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.
Accepts
The payment requirements as published to the catalog. Read the live 402 before paying — a price here is a claim, not a quote.
Pay 0.005 USDC on Base to 0xa2d7…CA3ec. The signed payment is good for 5 minutes.

Hand this page to an agent
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
No per-endpoint history for this service yet, so this is payments indexed to its PROVIDER's wallet over 30 days. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service Ontario Protocol 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=Ontario%20Protocol' 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://ontarioprotocol.com/api/x402/find-api, 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. Either pay over x402 (mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402), or ask me for an organization key, which I create at https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/connections. If you have neither, ask before going further. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
