AI agents and x402.
Updates from CONNSKILL.
Product updates, new services and practical guides to AI agents, x402 and search data. With publication times and sources.
Search volume or domain rankings: which SEO check comes first?
Choose a keyword demand check when you have a list of terms, or a domain ranking report when you want to understand existing visibility. Keep demand, rankings and sales separate.
Choose location and language before buying SEO data
Define the market before researching keywords or rankings. Resolve location codes for free, check endpoint support and keep comparisons consistent.
HTTP 402 vs 503 in x402 APIs: when should an agent pay?
A 402 response can carry current payment terms. A 503 response says the API is temporarily unavailable. Learn when an x402 client should stop, wait and retry.
Choose one x402 payment option without mixing its terms
When a payment challenge offers several acceptable methods, select one complete requirement that your client understands. Never combine fields from different options.
Use a request ID to investigate a paid API failure
Keep the request ID beside the purchase reference, route and settlement evidence so support can trace one operation without asking for wallet secrets.
Payment, delivery and discovery source are separate records
A blockchain settlement can confirm payment, while service logs confirm delivery and separate attribution evidence explains how a buyer found the service.
Directory entry or live challenge: what should an x402 buyer trust?
Use a directory to discover services, then verify the current method, availability and payment terms at the origin before authorizing payment.
Paid API requests: separate settlement, execution and delivery
Track payment, provider execution, stored results and buyer receipt as separate states before retrying or reporting success.
Retry an x402 request without paying twice
Keep one logical request, one payment identifier and the original payment evidence together before retrying after a timeout.
Before an x402 payment: seven checks for your agent
Check price, network, recipient, resource and result before an agent authorizes a paid API request.
Check Google Maps rankings: put results in context
Check Google Maps results with a defined query, location and timestamp. Compare the right listings and distinguish a snapshot from a useful ranking history.
Service status is live: check availability before your next API call
The CONNSKILL Agent API now has a public status page with timestamps, known limitations and maintenance information. It is free to read for people and agents.
