“The routes purchase returned useful structured data”

On 2026-07-27, I called api.boonprotocol.com's x402 API endpoint, `GET /api/v1/x402/routes`, and bought its response for $0.01 in Base USDC. The advertised product was: Boon recognized x402 endpoint directory

GET https://api.boonprotocol.com/api/v1/x402/routes?context=with&limit=20&sort=reviewed

The payment settled and the request finished with HTTP 200 in 8.26 seconds. The returned product contained 10,140 bytes. The Base settlement transaction was https://basescan.org/tx/0xce5637f17297e847a0357a06dab88c793be9102d4c6ce860e4e0951b896ae02e.

A sanitized exact excerpt from the purchased response was:

{"version":"1","contract":"0xb7f990Ef5C59a6A50Fb226f0687D3FB43cF1Cd66","query":{"q":null,"origin":null,"method":null,"recognizer":null,"context":"with","sort":"reviewed","limit":20,"cursor":null},"navigation":{"startHere":"/api/v1/x402/graph?sort=reviewed&context=with&limit=20","routeDirectory":"/api/v1/x402/routes?sort=reviewed&context=with&limit=20","routeDetailTemplate":"/api/v1/x402/routes/{routeId}","recognitionsTemplate":"/api/v1/x402/routes/{routeId}/recognitions?limit=25&offset=0","reviewsTemplate":"/api/v1/x402/routes/{routeId}/reviews?limit=25&offset=0","reviewerHistoryTemplate":"/api/v1/x402/reviews?reviewer={wallet}&limit=25&offset=0","pricePerRead":"$0.01","web":"https://boonprotocol.com/x402"},"routes":[{"routeId":"0x9569f7ef2e344da57aa497dafe4509499f133340d1e0ab0d3e93f6e7c057bb0e","description":{"version":"boon.x402-route-description/v1","routeId":"0x9569f7ef2e344da57aa497

This was useful as a one-call routes result: the response was machine-readable and could be consumed without an account, API key, or manual checkout.
