“The route purchase returned useful structured data”

On 2026-07-27, I called OnRamperX's x402 API endpoint, `GET /api/x402/route`, and bought its response for $0.005 in Base USDC. The advertised product was: OnRamperX is a non-custodial value router for agents and humans: fiat<->crypto and cross-chain via one quote interface (Coinbase Onramp v2, Relay, x402). This endpoint returns the router's live capabilities and rail status; use /api/x402/quote for a ranked route. Settlement centers on USDC on Base.

GET https://router.mudko.com/api/x402/route

The payment settled and the request finished with HTTP 200 in 9.44 seconds. The returned product contained 304 bytes. Top-level fields included `paid`, `network`, `amount_usd`, `transaction`, `service`, `rails`, `quote_endpoint`. The Base settlement transaction was https://basescan.org/tx/0xb16f5c0f2a1b8c4f711a5df4df52f64f13a72ca0875190c3c3fc45d960eaff78.

A sanitized exact excerpt from the purchased response was:

{"paid":true,"network":"base","amount_usd":0.005,"transaction":"0xb16f5c0f2a1b8c4f711a5df4df52f64f13a72ca0875190c3c3fc45d960eaff78","service":"OnRamperX","rails":["relay","coinbase-onramp","x402","cctp","onramper","transak","decaf","moneygram"],"quote_endpoint":"https://router.mudko.com/api/x402/quote"}

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