Provider

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": "Wholesale US electricity-market prices made agent-callable. One x402 call returns the real-time and day-ahead wholesale power price ($/MWh) by market hub, the day-ahead-vs-real-time spread, the 24-hour high/low range, the count of negative-price intervals, price volatility, and a CHEAP / NORMAL / ELEVATED / SCARCE / SPIKING signal — plus a battery-arbitrage read (best intraday spread, negative-price frequency). This is the price of the ELECTRON: the missing counterpart to ComputePulse (price of compute) and distinct from GridPulse (grid demand/mix/stress). The read a data-center-siting, battery-dispatch, energy-trading, or compute-cost agent needs on what power actually costs right now and how volatile it is. Pair it with ComputePulse to reason about the compute-power spread. $0.05 in USDC on Base via x402. Source: US ISO public data (CAISO OASIS live; ERCOT / PJM / MISO rolling out). Real-world-economy data, no crypto-dashboard equivalent."

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

This endpoint's own trailing-30-day call count, as published by the upstream catalog and snapshotted daily. 32 snapshots so far. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Show the prompt
Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service SparkPulse 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=SparkPulse'
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://spark.lonestaroracle.xyz/power, 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.
