Install and run
Setup complexity: low.
clawhub skill install kn7ef26xgk9r16qd3x6jv6b5ks80a7tr:primer-x402- Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
- Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

# x402 Payment Protocol
x402 enables instant stablecoin payments directly over HTTP using the 402 Payment Required status code. Perfect for AI agents paying for APIs, data, or compute on-demand.
## When to Use This Skill
Use x402 when:
- You encounter a **402 Payment Required** HTTP response
- You need to access a **paid API or resource**
- The user asks you to **pay for something** with crypto/USDC
- You need to **check wallet balance** or manage payments
## How to Respond
| User Says/Asks | What to Do |
|----------------|------------|
| "I got a 402 error" | This is an x402 payment request. Probe the URL, show the price, ask if they want to pay |
| "Pay for this API" | Use `x402 pay <url>` with appropriate max-amount |
| "Check my balance" | Run `x402 wallet balance <address>` |
| "Set up x402" / "Set up payments" | Run `x402 openclaw init` |
| "What networks do you support?" | List supported networks (Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, etc.) |
| "How much does X cost?" | Probe the URL with `x402 probe <url>` to get pricing |
| "Create a wallet" | Run `x402 wallet create` |
| User hits paywall while browsing | Suggest installing **Primer Pay** browser extension |
## Quick Setup
### Node.js
```bash
npx @primersystems/x402 openclaw init
```
### Python
```bash
pip install primer-x402
x402 openclaw init
```
This will:
1. Create a new wallet (or use existing)
2. Save config to `~/.openclaw/skills/primer-x402/`
3. Display your wallet address to fund
## How x402 Works
1. **Request** → You call a paid API
2. **402 Response** → Server returns payment requirements in headers
3. **Pay & Retry** → Sign payment, retry with `X-PAYMENT` header
4. **Access** → Server verifies, settles on-chain, returns resource
The payment is gasless for the payer - the facilitator handles gas fees.
## CLI Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `x402 wallet create` | Create a new wallet |
| `x402 wallet balance <address>` | Check USDC balance |
| `x402 wallet from-mnemonic` | Restore wallet from mnemonic |
| `x402 probe <url>` | Check if URL requires payment and get price |
| `x402 pay <url>` | Pay for a resource (requires X402_PRIVATE_KEY) |
| `x402 pay <url> --dry-run` | Preview payment cost without paying |
| `x402 networks` | List supported networks |
| `x402 openclaw init` | Set up x402 for this agent |
| `x402 openclaw status` | Check setup status and balance |
### Examples
```bash
# Check if a URL requires payment
npx @primersystems/x402 probe https://api.example.com/paid
# Preview payment cost (dry run - no payment made)
npx @primersystems/x402 pay https://api.example.com/paid --dry-run
# Check wallet balance
npx @primersystems/x402 _meta.json
