What it does

SnapAPI is a screenshot and document generation API with native x402 micropayment support. Any AI agent can capture screenshots, generate PDFs, or convert Markdown documents by simply making HTTP requests and paying per-use with USDC — no signup, API keys, or subscriptions required.

x402 Integration

• Protocol: x402 v2 with exact payment scheme
• Network: Base mainnet (eip155:8453)
• Asset: USDC
• Facilitator: PayAI (facilitator.payai.network)
• Pricing: $0.01/screenshot, $0.005/markdown conversion

How it works

1. Agent makes request without payment → receives HTTP 402 with PAYMENT-REQUIRED header
2. Agent signs USDC authorization using x402 client
3. Agent retries request with Payment-Signature header
4. Service validates payment via facilitator, delivers result

Endpoints

Endpoint	Price	Description
GET /api/capture?url=...	$0.01	Screenshot or PDF from any URL
POST /api/md2pdf	$0.005	Markdown to PDF conversion

Technical Stack

• Node.js + Puppeteer (headless Chrome)
• @x402/core + @x402/evm/exact/server for payment validation
• Dual auth: x402 payment OR traditional API key
• SSRF protection, rate limiting, concurrency control
