xAPIWe give AI agents one key to discover, pay for, and use any API in the world — starting with a live marketplace of 500+ APIs, billed per call.
Search, social, on-chain data — every capability lives behind its own portal, its own docs, its own key.
Someone registers, verifies, and pastes keys site by site. The agent can't onboard itself.
Subscriptions priced for human teams. An agent needing one call pays for a whole month — or goes without.
An agent that needs 20 tools needs 20 accounts, 20 keys, and 20 subscriptions — hours of human work, mostly wasted. So agents ship with a frozen toolset, and tool-use stays the bottleneck of agentic AI.
xAPI is a marketplace and a metered gateway in one. The agent searches a catalog, reads a typed schema, calls the endpoint — and the gateway meters and settles that single call.
No signup, no keys, no setup — the agent finds the tools it needs and pays for each call as it goes.
Every marketplace dies on supply cost. Ours is zero marginal cost: one install, and any coding agent onboards an API by itself — no forms, no BD calls, no admin approving anything.

The agent writes the OpenAPI spec, auth, and per-call pricing for you.
Sandbox-tested and promoted automatically — no human in the loop.
80% of every call, withdrawn as USDC on BNB Chain / Base.

Make listing more lucrative.
And the loop turns again.
Every turn is usage revenue. North star: weekly active keys × calls per key.
| Direct integration | RapidAPI | OpenRouter | xAPI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery | ✗ manual research | human marketplace | model catalog | ✓ runtime search + schema |
| Access | ✗ an account per API | one account, human plans | one key, models only | ✓ one key or agent wallet |
| Billing | per-provider contracts | ✗ subscriptions | pay-as-you-go | ✓ per call — fiat or x402 |
| Scope | any API — you build it | any API | AI models only | any API + AI models |
| Who can supply | n/a | curated | curated | ✓ anyone — even agents |
Direct integration is still the default — and it's why agents ship with a frozen toolset. RapidAPI proved the marketplace, OpenRouter proved unified metering, x402 proved machine payments. We're the only one holding catalog, execution, and settlement together — and the only one where supply onboards itself.
Marketplace, metered gateway, x402 + Stripe payments, CLI, MCP server, agent skills — shipped to production by three people.
We onboarded the first APIs by hand, hit every edge case ourselves, then wrote the provider skill so agents could do it without us — everything since has been onboarded by agents. We didn't design that pipeline from theory. We automated our own bottleneck, and the catalog kept growing.
Twelve months, three milestones — each one unlocks the next turn of the flywheel.
Scale AI auto-review so agents onboard the long tail themselves.
Ship into MCP directories and every major agent framework.
Agent wallets + x402 by default — machine-to-machine commerce, settled per call.
