  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | jq

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call",
    "params":{

Payment paths

DataFood supports two agent-native payment methods:

  1. x402 — pay-per-call via the X-Payment HTTP header (HTTP 402 challenge/response).
  2. Stripe Checkout — pass session_id from a /api/checkout/* flow into datafood_bundle. Day/week passes auto-unlock.

Free 1-row preview (up to 5 bundle items) requires no auth.


Cost comparison (real numbers)

MethodCost / callVendors to manage
