How payment works
There is no signup and no API key. Call the endpoint; it replies 402 Payment Required with machine-readable payment requirements. Your client signs a USDC transfer authorization (EIP-3009, gasless) and retries with the X-PAYMENT header — @x402/fetch does this automatically. See the overview for a working snippet.
