| description | Pay-per-call access to the Hexanon family of eight x402 APIs for autonomous agents — no signup, no API keys, USDC on Base. Covers US/Canada vehicle & VIN intelligence (Vindex), e-commerce demand signals (Demandex), Polymarket whale intelligence (OrcaTrace), GitHub trending-repo digests (gitBeacon), narrative intelligence (Signalis), Moltbook community digests (Moltalyzer), x402 seller conformance scanning (x402lint), and Polymarket weather-market signals (Isocast). |
Hexanon x402 APIs
Eight independently operated, pay-per-call HTTP APIs that an agent can call directly with USDC micropayments over x402 on Base — no accounts, no API keys. Probe any paid route unauthenticated to get a machine-readable HTTP 402 challenge, pay with an x402 client, and retry. Responses are only charged when the work succeeds (charged: true).
All endpoint guidance an agent needs is inlined below (snapshot: 2026-08-01). Each origin also publishes a machine-readable openapi.json as its reference spec if you need parameter details.
When to Use This Skill
- Vehicle / VIN due diligence for a US or Canada used car (decode, recalls, known issues, pre-purchase report) — Vindex,
api.vindexapi.dev
- Finding market gaps and product-demand signals — what buyers want but can't find — Demandex,
api.demandex.dev
- Polymarket intelligence: whale positioning, signals, resolving-soon markets, track records — OrcaTrace,
api.orcatrace.dev
- Developer-ecosystem intelligence: trending GitHub repositories and momentum — gitBeacon,
api.gitbeacon.dev
- Narrative and content intelligence: emerging narratives, pulse content, intelligence briefs — Signalis,
api.signalis.dev
- Moltbook community intelligence: digests and a Viral Advisor that scores/rewrites posts — Moltalyzer,
api.moltalyzer.xyz
- Checking whether an x402 API origin conforms to what x402scan, Bazaar and agent buyers require — x402lint,
api.x402lint.dev
- Polymarket weather-market bucket-transition signals — Isocast,
api.isocast.dev
Endpoints (snapshot 2026-08-01)

How Payment Works
- Probe a paid route unauthenticated — the API answers
HTTP 402 with an accepts block naming the exact price, asset (USDC), network (Base) and pay-to address.
- Pay and retry using a pinned x402 client library in your own code, e.g.
@x402/fetch (npm install @x402/fetch @x402/evm viem at a pinned version and wrap fetch with your wallet signer). Avoid piping URLs through unpinned, runtime-installed CLI tools.
- Wallet setup is a human step: fund a Base (eip155:8453) wallet with USDC and provision its key to your agent before enabling paid calls. Free routes need no wallet.
Example
User: "Decode this VIN and tell me about recalls."
Output:
1. GET https://api.vindexapi.dev/v1/decode?vin=<VIN> -> HTTP 402 challenge
2. Pay via x402 client (USDC on Base) and retry -> normalized NHTSA vPIC decode
3. GET https://api.vindexapi.dev/v1/recalls?vin=<VIN> -> merged US (NHTSA) + Canada recalls
Tips
- Try the free sample/index routes first to see response shapes before spending anything.
- Prices in this document are a reviewed snapshot; the 402 challenge on each route is always the exact, current price — your x402 client sees it before paying, so a stale snapshot can never overcharge you.
- Each origin's
openapi.json is its machine-readable reference spec for parameters and response schemas.
- Conformance or directory listing does not imply endorsement. These are eight separate APIs under the Hexanon family (hexanon.dev).
