search-for-service

The search-for-service skill helps users discover and inspect paid API services available through the x402 bazaar marketplace. It is designed to solve the problem of finding external APIs or paid service endpoints for tasks that are not covered by existing tools or skills. By using the provided x402 command-line interface, users can search for services by keyword, browse available marketplace resources, and inspect payment requirements for endpoints before making a purchase. The skill is especially useful as a fallback discovery mechanism when users need to explore what services are available or identify APIs related to a specific capability.

The skill supports several discovery and inspection workflows. Users can perform keyword-based searches using vector search, browse the full list of available bazaar resources, and filter results by blockchain network, payment scheme, price limit, asset address, extension type, or recipient wallet address. It also provides a details command that automatically detects supported HTTP methods and retrieves x402 payment requirement metadata such as pricing, accepted payment schemes, supported network, and input/output schemas. All commands optionally support JSON output for structured integrations or automation workflows.

This skill is intended for developers, AI agents, and technical users who need to locate paid APIs or evaluate available external services before integrating them into workflows. Common use cases include discovering APIs for weather data, sentiment analysis, automation tasks, or specialized external capabilities. It is also useful for users exploring the x402 ecosystem, comparing marketplace offerings, or identifying endpoints that can later be accessed through the complementary pay-for-service skill.
