Query Tron network validators via x402-paid crypto data intelligence endpoint
What it does
This endpoint at bridge.eruditepay.com provides Tron network validator information as part of a "Crypto data intelligence" service operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC. It accepts POST requests with a JSON body containing a chain identifier and a Tron address (T-prefix base58), and returns validator-related data in a JSON response.
The endpoint is gated by the x402 payment protocol (v2) and accepts two payment options: USDC on Base (eip155:8453) at $0.01 per call, or USDT on Tron (tron:728126428) at $0.01 per call (both 10,000 base units with 6 decimals). Payment is facilitated through the EruditePay Bridge, which supports 20 blockchains and settles payments on-chain. The facilitator for the Base/USDC option is Coinbase CDP.
Documentation is sparse — the endpoint's output schema only shows a generic `{"success": true, "data": {}}` example, so the exact structure of the validator data returned is unknown. The provider's landing page focuses on the EruditePay Bridge facilitator service rather than documenting the data intelligence endpoints themselves. The /docs path returns a 404, so no additional API documentation is available.

Quality
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 challenge with clear pricing and payment options. However, documentation is effectively absent — the output example is a stub with an empty data object, no dedicated docs page exists, and the exact validator data schema is unknown.
Warnings
- —No API documentation available — /docs returns 404
- —Output example is a stub with empty data object; actual response structure is unknown
- —The 'chain' and 'address' input fields lack detailed validation rules or enumeration of accepted values
- —Provider landing page documents the facilitator service, not the data intelligence endpoints
