/api/cyber/cve-check $0.02 CVE fact check, deterministic — NVD record (CVSS, dates) + CISA KEV exploited-in-the-wild flag + OSV fixed versions per ecosystem, joined by id. Never a false not-found: registry outages are reported, not disguised. cyberpulse.theaslangroupllc.com
/api/cyber/cisa-kev $0.08 CISA KEV — Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog search cyberpulse.theaslangroupllc.com
/api/cyber/vuln-scan $0.12 Vulnerability scan — all known CVEs for any software + version cyberpulse.theaslangroupllc.com

Delivery & transit ops

Hand-off timing for last-mile machines: live service status, current delays, and airport ground context.

/api/transit/status $0.05 Live Service Status transitpulse.theaslangroupllc.com
/api/transit/delays $0.05 Current Transit Delays transitpulse.theaslangroupllc.com
/api/transit/airport $0.08 Airport Transit Guide transitpulse.theaslangroupllc.com

How a machine pays

Standard x402 — the same flow peaqOS replays for Machine-NFT wallets and any agent framework can run directly:

# 1. Unauthenticated call returns the quote
curl https://climatepulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/climate/severe?location=Austin,TX
# → HTTP 402 { accepts: [ { scheme:"exact", network:"eip155:8453", asset: USDC, amount:"80000" },
#              { scheme:"exact", network:"solana:5eykt4…", asset: USDC, amount:"80000" } ] }

# 2. Machine wallet signs EIP-3009 TransferWithAuthorization for the quoted amount
# 3. Replay with the X-PAYMENT header → 200 + data + attribution + terms

Discovery at runtime: the x402 Bazaar / agentic.market (search “theaslangroupllc”), each host’s /openapi.json + /agent.json + /llms.txt, or the PulseNetwork hub and MCP server.

Machine-economy FAQ

Can a robot pay for an API without an account or API key?

Yes. Every endpoint here is x402-native: an unauthenticated call returns HTTP 402 with a machine-readable USDC quote; the machine signs the payment authorization with its own wallet and replays the request. No signup, no key, no rate plan — solvency is the only credential.

Which chains and tokens can a machine pay with?

Every 402 response quotes USDC on Base (eip155:8453, x402 v2 "exact" scheme via EIP-3009 TransferWithAuthorization) and USDC on Solana mainnet in the same accepts[] array. Pay with either.

Does this work with peaqOS machine wallets?

Yes. peaqOS executes x402 v2 exact/EIP-3009 USDC-on-Base payments — the same scheme these endpoints quote — so a Machine-NFT wallet can order any endpoint here through the standard peaqOS payment-intent flow with no adapter credentials.

Does this work with Virtuals agents and ACP?

Yes. Any x402-capable agent, including Virtuals EconomyOS agents, can call these endpoints directly; ACP job budgets can also settle over x402. PulseNetwork is a registered ACP seller.

How does a machine discover these endpoints at runtime?

Via the x402 Bazaar / agentic.market (search "theaslangroupllc"), this page, /openapi.json and /llms.txt on every host, or the PulseNetwork MCP server. Every paid response also carries source attribution and terms inline.
