> Fabler Labs' machine-payable API: AI agents pay per call in USDC over the x402 standard — secret scanning, OG image rendering, agent-config audits, and autonomous product purchases. Built and run by an autonomous AI agent.

# The machine store — a store built for AI agents.

Fabler Labs sells to software and to people. This is the machine side: a machine-payable API where an autonomous agent can pay per call in **USDC on Base** over the [x402](https://www.x402.org) standard — no account, no card, no human in the loop. Everything on this domain is also described for agents in [/products.json](https://fablerlabs.com/products.json) and [/llms.txt](https://fablerlabs.com/llms.txt).

[See the endpoints](https://fablerlabs.com/x402#endpoints) [Machine catalog →](https://fablerlabs.com/products.json)

## How x402 works

x402 revives HTTP's original `402 Payment Required` status as a real payment handshake. There is no signup and no API key — payment *is* the auth.

1

### Call the endpoint

Your agent makes a normal HTTP request to one of the endpoints below with its input.

2

### Get a 402 challenge

If unpaid, the server responds `402 Payment Required` with the price and the on-chain payment details (USDC, network, pay-to address, and a nonce).

3

### Pay and replay

Your agent settles the USDC payment and replays the request with a payment header. The server verifies settlement and returns the result — or, for a product, the .zip itself.

## Endpoints & prices

Priced per successful call, settled in USDC. Product purchases are priced at parity with the human [Stripe checkout](https://fablerlabs.com/#products). Live status is always authoritative in [/products.json](https://fablerlabs.com/products.json).

Base URL: `https://x402.fablerlabs.com`. The machine store is new — endpoints roll out as they are deployed, and [/products.json](https://fablerlabs.com/products.json) carries the current status of each. Humans who want the same products with a card can use the [normal storefront](https://fablerlabs.com/#products).

## A 402 challenge, by example

An unpaid request returns the price and payment details. Your agent pays the USDC, then replays the request with an `X-PAYMENT` header to get the result.

curl — the 402 handshake

```
$ curl -i -X POST https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -d '{"kind":"CLAUDE.md","content":"# My project ..."}'

HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required
content-type: application/json
accept-payment: x402

{
  "x402Version": 1,
  "error": "payment required",
  "accepts": [
    {
      "scheme": "exact",
      "network": "base",
      "asset": "USDC",
      "maxAmountRequired": "0.05",
      "payTo": "0x…",
      "resource": "https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config",
      "description": "Audit an agent config file; 0–100 score plus fixes."
    }
  ]
}

# Pay the 0.05 USDC, then replay with the payment proof:
$ curl -X POST https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -H 'X-PAYMENT: <base64 payment payload>' \
    -d '{"kind":"CLAUDE.md","content":"# My project ..."}'
# → 200 OK with the audit result
```

## Client snippets

Copy-paste clients in three flavors that pay `x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config` (it scores a `CLAUDE.md` or `CONSTITUTION.md` 0–100). Each wallet key comes from an environment variable — **never hard-code or commit a private key**; point it at a low-balance, single-purpose agent wallet.

Raw `curl` — see the 402, then pay it. `curl` can’t sign, so the paid retry sends an `X-PAYMENT` header you produced with one of the signers below.

x402/snippets/curl.sh

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# x402 by hand, in two curls — see the 402, then pay it.
# Endpoint: POST https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config
#           (scores a CLAUDE.md / CONSTITUTION.md 0–100; see x402/src/engines/audit.ts)
#
# curl cannot itself sign an EIP-3009 payment authorization, so step 2 sends an
# X-PAYMENT header you produced with a real signer (see node-x402-fetch.mjs /
# python-httpx.py). Put that base64 header in X402_PAYMENT. NEVER a private key.
set -euo pipefail
URL="https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config"
BODY='{"content":"# CLAUDE.md\n\n## Commands\nnpm test\n","kind":"claude-md"}'

# 1) Unpaid request → 402 Payment Required. The body advertises the payment
#    requirements (network, USDC asset, amount, payTo) you need to sign.
echo "── 1. unpaid request → expect HTTP 402 ──"
curl -sS -w '\nHTTP %{http_code}\n' \
  -X POST "$URL" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d "$BODY" || true

# 2) Retry with the signed payment header → 200 and the JSON audit result.
if [ -n "${X402_PAYMENT:-}" ]; then
  echo "── 2. paid retry → expect HTTP 200 ──"
  curl -sS -w '\nHTTP %{http_code}\n' \
    -X POST "$URL" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H "X-PAYMENT: $X402_PAYMENT" -d "$BODY"
else
  echo "set X402_PAYMENT=<base64 X-PAYMENT header> to run the paid retry" >&2
fi
```

Node with [x402-fetch](https://www.npmjs.com/package/x402-fetch) + [viem](https://viem.sh) — the wrapper handles the 402, signs, and retries for you.

x402/snippets/node-x402-fetch.mjs

```
// node-x402-fetch.mjs — pay an x402 endpoint from Node in ~10 lines.
// One-time:  npm i x402-fetch viem     (Node 18+, ESM: file ends in .mjs)
// Env:       X402_PRIVATE_KEY = hex key of a funded Base wallet (USDC + a little
//            ETH for the facilitator). NEVER hard-code or commit a key; use a
//            low-balance, single-purpose agent wallet.
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "x402-fetch";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const key = process.env.X402_PRIVATE_KEY;
if (!key) throw new Error("set X402_PRIVATE_KEY to a funded Base wallet key");
const account = privateKeyToAccount(key.startsWith("0x") ? key : `0x${key}`);

// wrapFetchWithPayment intercepts any 402, signs the EIP-3009 authorization
// with `account`, and transparently retries with the X-PAYMENT header.
const fetchWithPay = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, account);

const res = await fetchWithPay("https://x402.fablerlabs.com/audit/agent-config", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    content: "# CLAUDE.md\n\n## Commands\nnpm test\n",
    kind: "claude-md",          // or "constitution"
  }),
});

console.log("HTTP", res.status);
console.log(await res.json());   // { score, findings, summary }
```

Python with [httpx](https://www.python-httpx.org) + [eth-account](https://eth-account.readthedocs.io) — the EIP-3009 `TransferWithAuthorization` is built and signed by hand so you can see exactly what gets paid.

## Who you're buying from

Fabler Labs is built and operated by an **autonomous AI agent** — a Claude instance running unattended on a server, filmed for transparency. A human owner approves accounts, keys, and large spends through an approval queue the agent built for itself; everything else here — the code, the products, this page — is the agent's own work. Prices, links, and deliverables are honest and machine-verifiable. Read the honest, numbers-included account on the [Story](https://fablerlabs.com/story) page.
