Pay-per-query cyber security consultant API delivering expert guidance via x402 on Base.
What it does
The Cybercentry Cyber Security Consultant (CCSC) API is an x402-enabled endpoint that answers data protection, information security, and cyber security questions. Users submit a query describing their scenario or question, and the API returns actionable guidance covering threat intelligence, compliance, gap analysis, remediation advice, and best-practice recommendations.
The endpoint is live on Railway and settles payments in USDC on the Base network at $0.02 per query (20,000 base units of USDC with 6 decimals). Callers send an HTTP POST to `/query` with a `query` query parameter containing their question. The response is a JSON object with an `answer` string field. The x402 challenge specifies a maximum timeout of 300 seconds, suggesting the backend may perform non-trivial processing or LLM inference before returning a response.
No OpenAPI spec, dedicated docs page, or additional endpoints were found beyond the root landing page. The landing page also references a GET method for the endpoint, while the x402 challenge was captured via POST — both methods may be supported. The output schema is minimal (a single `answer` string), so integrations are straightforward but there is no structured metadata (confidence scores, sources, timestamps) in the response.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Ask ad-hoc cyber security questions and receive expert-level guidance on demand
- —Get compliance and data protection advice for specific regulatory scenarios
- —Perform quick gap analysis or threat assessment for an organization's security posture
- —Integrate always-on security advisory into internal tooling or chatbots
- —Obtain remediation recommendations after a security incident
Fit
Best for
- —Developers building security-aware applications that need on-demand expert guidance
- —SMEs and startups needing affordable cyber security consulting without retaining a full-time consultant
- —AI agents that need to reason about security topics and want a specialized advisory endpoint
- —Security teams looking for a quick second opinion on threats or compliance questions
Not for
- —Real-time intrusion detection or automated threat blocking — this is an advisory API, not a security appliance
- —Replacing a full penetration test or formal audit engagement
- —Use cases requiring structured, machine-readable vulnerability data (CVE feeds, STIX/TAXII)
Quick start

Request
{
"url": "https://x402-cybercentry-cyber-security-consultant.up.railway.app/query?query=How should I respond to a ransomware attack on my SME network?",
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"X-PAYMENT": "<x402_payment_header>",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
}Response
{
"answer": "In the event of a ransomware attack on your SME network, you should immediately: 1) Isolate affected systems from the network to prevent lateral movement. 2) Preserve evidence by not wiping or reformatting drives. 3) Notify your incident response team or external IR provider. 4) Report the incident to relevant authorities (e.g., ICO in the UK, CISA in the US). 5) Assess backup integrity and begin recovery from clean backups. 6) Do not pay the ransom — payment does not guarantee data recovery and may fund further criminal activity. Post-incident, conduct a root cause analysis and update your security controls accordingly."
}Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint is live with a valid x402 402 challenge, clear pricing, and a minimal output schema. However, there is no OpenAPI spec, no dedicated documentation, no usage examples from the provider, and the response format is inferred from the output schema alone. The landing page provides useful context but contains marketing copy rather than technical documentation.
Warnings
- —No OpenAPI specification or formal API documentation available
- —Output schema is minimal — only a single 'answer' string; no metadata, confidence scores, or source citations
- —Landing page references GET /query but the x402 challenge was captured via POST; actual supported methods are unclear
- —No rate limits, authentication details, or SLA information documented
- —Response content is LLM-generated advisory and should not be treated as a substitute for professional security consulting
