Your agent needs a funded wallet and a payment-aware HTTP client. The examples below complete the same research workflow:- Search for recent posts about Michael Burry for free.
- Select the highest-ranked result.
- Load its publication and inspect the post’s listed
priceCents. - Request the paid route without credentials and inspect the authoritative
price in the
402challenge. - Let the wallet-aware client pay and retry the request.
- Use the returned
synthesizedSummaryin the research workflow.
unlockToken from the JSON body (or
the X-Drip-Unlock response header) and resend it as the request header
X-Drip-Unlock on later fetches for a free re-read. If you lose the token but
retry with the same wallet payment (x402) or a validated MPP credential, the
server skips the charge and re-issues a token. The response contains a robust
summary and source metadata.
Before using these examples in production, review the paid-request guidance in
Errors & Retries.

fetches to the same post for a free re-read (paymentInfo.protocol will be
