Use Case Guide

Choose the right API surface for your integration scenario.

Choose Business API when

  • You issue and manage API keys from a dashboard or partner workflow
  • Your backend wants classic request signing
  • You need webhook administration
  • Your operators do not want wallet handling in the integration

Choose x402 API when

  • Your client already controls a wallet
  • You want paid routes priced directly at the HTTP layer
  • You need premium automation like route analysis or market-intel jobs
  • You can implement x402 pay-and-retry plus SIWX for wallet-bound reads
