Built for agents, priced for agents

APIs your agent pays for, one call at a time.

Edified Lab runs a small set of live, working HTTP APIs priced and paid per call over x402 — no subscription, no API-key signup form, no human in the loop. An agent hits an endpoint, gets a 402 Payment Required with the price, pays in USDC on Base, and gets its answer.

What we sell

Capability marketplace

Missing capability, cheaper than building it

Your agent doesn't need to carry a Black-Scholes pricer, a clinical-trials search, and an SEC EDGAR lookup as baked-in code — it can rent the answer for a few cents, on demand, only when it's needed.

Live endpoints today

Everything below is real and callable right now against api.edifiedlab.com. Full request/response contracts are in the live OpenAPI spec and interactive docs.

EndpointWhat it does
POST /v1/market/black-scholes Black-Scholes option price and Greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta) from JSON keys spot, strike, tau (years; 3-month = 0.25), sigma (annualized volatility), and is_call (boolean). Pure closed-form calculation, no market data looked up or stored. vega is ∂price/∂sigma per 1.0 volatility (not per 1%).
GET /v1/market/clinical-trials Search ClinicalTrials.gov with query= (company, drug, or intervention name).
POST /v1/market/sec-edgar SEC EDGAR filings, Form 4 insider trades, and MD&A extract by ticker or CIK.
POST /v1/tools/structured-data Diff/patch JSON, and validate XML/XSD or CSV/tabular data (not OpenAPI-specific).

How payment works (x402, in short)

x402 is an open protocol, backed by Coinbase, that revives the long-dormant HTTP 402 Payment Required status code for machine-to-machine payment. There's no account creation and no shared secret to provision ahead of time.

  1. Your agent calls a paid endpoint with no payment attached.
  2. The API replies 402 with a signed price quote (amount, asset, chain).
  3. Your agent settles the quote in USDC on Base and retries the call with proof of payment.
  4. The API returns the real response. No session, no login, no manual billing.

For developers pointing an agent here

This page (edifiedlab.com) is the human-readable front door. If you're wiring an agent up to us programmatically, skip straight to the machine-readable discovery files:

GET https://edifiedlab.com/agents.txt
GET https://edifiedlab.com/agents.json

Both list every paid resource, the payment chains we accept, and where to find the live OpenAPI contract. The API itself lives on a separate host, api.edifiedlab.com — this apex only serves discovery and marketing content.
