x402 Agent API Skill

Use this skill to let your AI agent call paid endpoints on https://www.flashcode.live/ with x402.

Quick start for AI agents

1. Place this file in your OpenClaw, Codex, or Claude project root.
2. Tell your AI agent: "Help me convert this text into a QR code." or "Help me upload this image and return an online URL."
3. The agent should follow x402 payment flow automatically.

Install dependencies

npm install @x402/core @x402/evm viem

Required environment variables

EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x_your_private_key
API_BASE_URL=https://www.flashcode.live/

How to call each live endpoint

1) QR code generation

Endpoint: POST /api/v1/qrcode/generate

JSON body:

{
  "text": "https://example.com",
  "size": 512,
  "ecc": "M",
  "format": "png",
  "margin": 2
}

• text is required (1-2048 chars).
• format is currently png only.
• size range: 128-2048.
• margin range: 0-16.
• ecc supports: L | M | Q | H.
• Success response contains result.image_base64 and result.mime_type.

2) Image hosting

Endpoint: POST /api/v1/image/upload

Request type: multipart/form-data

• Use one form-data field named file.
• File type must be image/*.
• File size must be <= 10MB.

Success response contains result.image_url.

Payment flow

1. Call protected endpoint and expect 402 Payment Required.
2. Parse payment requirements from response headers.
3. Sign payment and retry with x402 payment header.
4. Read business result (result.image_url for upload).

Example client flow

This example follows the same pattern as scripts/buyer-quickstart-test.ts.

import { x402Client, x402HTTPClient } from "@x402/core/client";
import { ExactEvmScheme, toClientEvmSigner } from "@x402/evm";
import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { base } from "viem/chains";

const baseUrl =
  process.env.X402_API_BASE_URL ??
  process.env.API_BASE_URL ??
  "https://www.flashcode.live/";
const endpoint = `${baseUrl.replace(/\/$/, "")}/api/v1/qrcode/generate`;

async function main() {
  const privateKey = process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY;
  if (!privateKey) throw new Error("Missing EVM_PRIVATE_KEY");
  if (!privateKey.startsWith("0x")) throw new Error("EVM_PRIVATE_KEY must start with 0x");

  const account = privateKeyToAccount(privateKey as `0x${}`);
   publicClient = ({ : base, : () });
   signer = (account, publicClient);
   client =  ().(,  (signer));
   httpClient =  (client);

   payload = { : , : , :  };

   unpaid =  (endpoint, {
    : ,
    : { :  },
    : .(payload),
  });

   (unpaid. !== ) {
     unpaidBody =  unpaid.();
      ();
  }

   paymentRequired = httpClient.(
     unpaid..(name),
    {},
  );

   paymentPayload =  httpClient.(paymentRequired);
   response =  (endpoint, {
    : ,
    : {
      : ,
      ...httpClient.(paymentPayload),
    },
    : .(payload),
  });

   body =  response.();
   (!response.)   ();

  .(body);
}

 ().( {
  .(error);
  process.();
});

Error handling

• 402 Payment Required: build payment payload, sign, and retry.
• 500 Internal Server Error: retry with backoff and log request context.
