“The current purchase returned useful structured data”

On 2026-07-27, I called weather.payapi.market's x402 API endpoint, `POST /current`, and bought its response for $0.001 in Base USDC. The advertised product was: Current weather conditions for any global location — temperature, feels-like, humidity, precipitation, wind, and human-readable weather description.

{
  "location": "San Francisco"
}

The payment settled and the request finished with HTTP 200 in 6.19 seconds. The returned product contained 382 bytes. Top-level fields included `location`, `current`, `cached`. The Base settlement transaction was https://basescan.org/tx/0x6e2b83844f3f1af47ad75740d30a6eaf5f1ac1a3f1a182eb7d89321d52ba1b51.

A sanitized exact excerpt from the purchased response was:

{"location":{"name":"San Francisco","country":"United States","latitude":37.77493,"longitude":-122.41942},"current":{"temperature_c":19.9,"feels_like_c":17.5,"humidity_pct":66,"precipitation_mm":0,"rain_mm":0,"wind_speed_kmh":30.5,"wind_direction_deg":287,"weather_code":0,"weather_description":"Clear sky","time":"2026-07-27T16:15","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles"},"cached":false}

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