Pay-per-call news recaps across 16 crypto, AI, and macro topics via x402 on Base.
What it does
The Gloria AI Recaps endpoint delivers concise news summaries covering the past 12–24 hours for a specified topic category. It is an x402-enabled GET endpoint on Base (Ethereum L2) that accepts USDC micropayments at $0.10 per request. Callers supply a `feed_category` query parameter choosing from 16 available categories: ai, ai_agents, base, bitcoin, crypto, dats, defi, ethereum, hyperliquid, machine_learning, macro, perps, rwa, ripple, solana, and tech.
The response is a JSON object containing the feed category, a timeframe string, the recap text itself, and a creation timestamp. This makes it straightforward for autonomous agents or applications to programmatically fetch up-to-date news digests without subscriptions or API keys—payment is handled inline via the x402 protocol.
The endpoint is live and returns a well-structured x402 challenge (version 1, scheme "exact") with a full input/output schema. No OpenAPI spec or additional documentation pages are available on the origin server; all technical details are derived from the 402 challenge payload. The payment asset is USDC (contract 0x8335…2913) on Base mainnet, paid to address 0xCa12…cd0c, with a maximum timeout of 60 seconds per request.
