x402-fetch

A utility package that extends the native fetch API to automatically handle 402 Payment Required responses using the x402 payment protocol v2. This package enables seamless integration of payment functionality into your applications when making HTTP requests.

Installation

pnpm install @x402/fetch

Quick Start

import { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig } from "@x402/fetch";
import { ExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

// Create an account
const account = privateKeyToAccount("0xYourPrivateKey");

// Wrap the fetch function with payment handling
const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, {
  schemes: [
    {
      network: "eip155:8453", // Base Sepolia
      client: new ExactEvmScheme(account),
    },
  ],
});

// Make a request that may require payment
const response = await fetchWithPayment("https://api.example.com/paid-endpoint", {
  method: "GET",
});

const data = await response.json();

API

wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client)

Wraps the native fetch API to handle 402 Payment Required responses automatically.

Parameters

• fetch: The fetch function to wrap (typically globalThis.fetch)
• client: An x402Client instance with registered payment schemes

wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, config)

Convenience wrapper that creates an x402Client from a configuration object.

Parameters

• fetch: The fetch function to wrap (typically globalThis.fetch)
• config: Configuration object with the following properties:
  • schemes: Array of scheme registrations, each containing:
    • network: Network identifier (e.g., 'eip155:8453', 'solana:mainnet', 'eip155:*' for wildcards)
    • client: The scheme client implementation (e.g., ExactEvmScheme, ExactSvmScheme)
    • x402Version: Optional protocol version (defaults to 2, set to 1 for legacy support)
  • paymentRequirementsSelector: Optional function to select payment requirements from multiple options

Returns

A wrapped fetch function that automatically handles 402 responses by:

1. Making the initial request
2. If a 402 response is received, parsing the payment requirements
3. Creating a payment header using the configured scheme client
4. Retrying the request with the payment header

Examples

Basic Usage with EVM

import { config } from "dotenv";
import { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig, decodePaymentResponseHeader } from "@x402/fetch";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { ExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm";

config();

const { EVM_PRIVATE_KEY, API_URL } = process.env;

const account = privateKeyToAccount(EVM_PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`);

const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, {
  schemes: [
    {
      network: "eip155:*", // Support all EVM chains
      client: new ExactEvmScheme(account),
    },
  ],
});

// Make a request to a paid API endpoint
fetchWithPayment(API_URL, {
  method: "GET",
})
  .then(async response => {
    const data = await response.json();
    
    // Optionally decode the payment response header
    const paymentResponse = response.headers.get("PAYMENT-RESPONSE");
    if (paymentResponse) {
      const decoded = decodePaymentResponseHeader(paymentResponse);
      console.log("Payment details:", decoded);
    }
    
    console.log("Response data:", data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

Using Builder Pattern

For more control, you can use the builder pattern to register multiple schemes:

import { wrapFetchWithPayment, x402Client } from "@x402/fetch";
import { ExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { ExactSvmScheme } from "@x402/svm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { createKeyPairSignerFromBytes } from "@solana/kit";
import { base58 } from "@scure/base";

// Create signers
const evmSigner = privateKeyToAccount("0xYourPrivateKey");
const svmSigner = await createKeyPairSignerFromBytes(base58.decode("YourSvmPrivateKey"));

// Build client with multiple schemes
const client = new x402Client()
  .register("eip155:*", new ExactEvmScheme(evmSigner))
  .register("solana:*", new ExactSvmScheme(svmSigner));

// Wrap fetch with the client
const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

Multi-Chain Support

import { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig } from "@x402/fetch";
import { ExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm";
import { ExactSvmScheme } from "@x402/svm";

const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, {
  schemes: [
    // EVM chains
    {
      network: "eip155:8453", // Base Sepolia
      client: new ExactEvmScheme(evmAccount),
    },
    // SVM chains
    {
      network: "solana:EtWTRABZaYq6iMfeYKouRu166VU2xqa1", // Solana devnet
      client: new ExactSvmScheme(svmSigner),
    },
  ],
});

Custom Payment Requirements Selector

import { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig, type SelectPaymentRequirements } from "@x402/fetch";
import { ExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm";

// Custom selector that prefers the cheapest option
const selectCheapestOption: SelectPaymentRequirements = (version, accepts) => {
  if (!accepts || accepts.length === 0) {
    throw new Error("No payment options available");
  }
  
  // Sort by value and return the cheapest
  const sorted = [...accepts].sort((a, b) => 
    BigInt(a.value) - BigInt(b.value)
  );
  
  return sorted[0];
};

const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, {
  schemes: [
    {
      network: "eip155:8453",
      client: new ExactEvmScheme(account),
    },
  ],
  paymentRequirementsSelector: selectCheapestOption,
});
