One-liner x402 pay-per-request for FastAPI endpoints

Project description

FastAPI x402

One-liner cryptocurrency payments for FastAPI endpoints using the x402 protocol.

Transform any FastAPI endpoint into a paid API with just a single decorator. Accept stablecoin payments (USDC) on Base network with automatic settlement.

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_x402 import init_x402, pay

app = FastAPI()
init_x402(app, merchant_wallet="0x...", facilitator_url="https://x402.org/facilitator")

@app.get("/premium-data")
@pay("$0.01")  # Require 1 cent payment
async def get_premium_data():
    return {"data": "This costs $0.01 to access!"}

🚀 Features

  • 🔒 Pay-per-request: Monetize individual API calls
  • 🌐 Multi-network support: Accept payments on Base, Avalanche, and IoTeX
  • 💰 Stablecoin payments: Accept USDC across all supported networks
  • ⚡ Real-time settlement: Automatic blockchain settlement
  • 🛡️ Replay protection: Cryptographic payment verification
  • 📝 Standard protocol: Built on the x402 payment standard
  • 🔧 One-line integration: Just add @pay("$0.01") to any endpoint
  • 🔄 Auto-sync: Stays synchronized with Coinbase Facilitator supported networks
  • 🎯 Network control: Server dictates which networks clients can use for payment

📦 Installation

pip install fastapi-x402

🎯 Quick Start

1. Basic Setup

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi_x402 import init_x402, pay

app = FastAPI()

# Initialize x402 with your merchant wallet and facilitator
init_x402(
    app,
    merchant_wallet="0x9ecae3f1abfce10971353FD21bD8B4785473fD18",
    facilitator_url="https://x402.org/facilitator"  # or your own facilitator
)

@app.get("/free-endpoint")
async def free_endpoint():
    return {"message": "This endpoint is free!"}

@app.get("/paid-endpoint")
@pay("$0.01")  # Require 1 cent payment
async def paid_endpoint():
    return {"secret": "This cost 1 cent to access!"}

@app.get("/expensive-data")
@pay("$1.00")  # Require $1 payment
async def expensive_data():
    return {"premium_data": "This is worth $1!"}

2. Run Your Server

uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

3. Test the Payment Flow

Without payment (gets 402 response):

curl http://localhost:8000/paid-endpoint

With payment (success):

curl -H "X-PAYMENT: eyJ4NDAyVmVyc2lvbiI6..." http://localhost:8000/paid-endpoint

💳 Client Integration

JavaScript/TypeScript

import { X402Client } from '@x402/client';

const client = new X402Client({
  network: 'base-sepolia',
  privateKey: 'your-wallet-private-key'
});

const response = await client.get('http://localhost:8000/paid-endpoint');
console.log(response.data); // Automatically handles payment

Python

import httpx
from x402_client import X402Client  # Coming soon

client = X402Client(network='base-sepolia', private_key='...')
response = await client.get('http://localhost:8000/paid-endpoint')

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

# Optional: Override default settings
X402_FACILITATOR_URL=https://your-facilitator.com
X402_NETWORK=base-sepolia
X402_ASSET_ADDRESS=0x036CbD53842c5426634e7929541eC2318f3dCF7e

Multi-Network Configuration

from fastapi_x402 import init_x402

# Support all available networks
init_x402(
    pay_to="0x...",
    network="all"  # Accepts payments on Base, Avalanche, and IoTeX
)

# Support specific networks
init_x402(
    pay_to="0x...",
    network=["base", "avalanche"]  # Only Base and Avalanche
)

# Support only testnets
init_x402(
    pay_to="0x...",
    network="testnets"  # base-sepolia and avalanche-fuji
)

# Support only mainnets
init_x402(
    pay_to="0x...",
    network="mainnets"  # base, avalanche, and iotex
)

Network Information

from fastapi_x402 import get_supported_networks_list, get_config_for_network

# List all supported networks
networks = get_supported_networks_list()
print(networks)  # ['base-sepolia', 'base', 'avalanche-fuji', 'avalanche', 'iotex']

# Get configuration for a specific network
config = get_config_for_network("base")
print(config["default_asset"]["address"])  # 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913

🎯 Network Control Patterns

Your API can control which networks clients can use to pay:

1. Single Network (Server Dictates)

# Only accept Base network payments
init_x402(pay_to="0x...", network="base")

@pay("$0.01")
@app.get("/base-only")
def base_only():
    return {"data": "Must pay with Base USDC"}

402 Response: Client MUST pay on Base network

{"accepts": [{"network": "base", "asset": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913"}]}

2. Multiple Options (Client Chooses)

# Accept payments from multiple networks
init_x402(pay_to="0x...", network=["base", "avalanche", "iotex"])

@pay("$0.01")  
@app.get("/multi-choice")
def multi_choice():
    return {"data": "Pay with any supported network"}

402 Response: Client can choose from multiple networks

{"accepts": [
  {"network": "base", "asset": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913"},
  {"network": "avalanche", "asset": "0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E"},
  {"network": "iotex", "asset": "0xcdf79194c6c285077a58da47641d4dbe51f63542"}
]}

3. Network-Specific Endpoints

@app.get("/pay-with-avalanche")
async def avalanche_only(request: Request):
    # Custom 402 response for Avalanche only
    return JSONResponse(status_code=402, content={
        "accepts": [{"network": "avalanche", "asset": "0xB97..."}]
    })

4. Dynamic Network Selection

@app.get("/premium/{network}")
def network_specific(network: str):
    if network not in ["base", "avalanche"]:
        raise HTTPException(400, "Network not supported")
    # Endpoint accepts payment only on specified network
