Get TRON energy pricing data via x402-paid crypto intelligence endpoint.
What it does
This endpoint at bridge.eruditepay.com provides TRON energy price data as part of a "Crypto data intelligence" service operated by Erudite Intelligence LLC. It accepts a POST request with a JSON body specifying a token address and blockchain network, and returns pricing/energy data. Payment is required per-call via the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 challenge), accepting either USDC on Base (eip155:8453) or USDT on TRON (tron:728126428), each at 0.01 USD per request (10,000 base units with 6 decimals).
The endpoint is live and returns a valid x402 v2 challenge. The Bazaar schema extension describes the input as a JSON body with `token` (token address or symbol) and `chain` (blockchain network such as base, ethereum, tron), and the output as a JSON object with `success` and `data` fields. However, the example output body is empty (`data: {}`), so the exact structure of the returned energy pricing data is not documented.
The provider, EruditePay, operates an x402 payment facilitator bridge supporting 20 blockchains. They are registered as a FinCEN MSB (BSA ID 31000324258137) and operate non-custodially. Note that the endpoint's own description says "Crypto data intelligence" which is generic — the URL path `/v1/tron/energy/price` suggests it specifically returns TRON energy/bandwidth pricing, but detailed response documentation is unavailable. The docs.eruditepay.com link referenced on the landing page was not crawled, and /docs on the bridge itself returns a 404.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Querying current TRON energy prices before executing smart contract transactions
- —Building automated TRON transaction cost estimators
- —Integrating real-time TRON resource pricing into wallet or DeFi applications
- —Comparing TRON energy costs across different tokens or time periods
Fit
Best for
- —Developers building on the TRON blockchain who need energy pricing data
- —Automated agents that need programmatic access to TRON resource costs
- —Applications that want to pay per-query with crypto (USDC or USDT) without subscriptions
Not for
- —Users needing free or high-volume bulk data access (each call costs $0.01)
- —Non-TRON blockchain energy or gas price queries (endpoint is TRON-specific)
- —Users who cannot pay via x402 crypto micropayments

Quality
The endpoint is live with a valid x402 v2 challenge and a Bazaar schema extension, but the response data structure is completely undocumented (example shows empty `data: {}`). No dedicated API docs were reachable, and the endpoint description is generic ('Crypto data intelligence'). The actual content of the energy pricing response must be inferred from the URL path alone.
Warnings
- —Response data structure is undocumented — the example output shows an empty `data` object
- —The endpoint description says 'Crypto data intelligence' which is generic and does not specifically describe TRON energy pricing
- —docs.eruditepay.com was referenced but not crawled; /docs on the bridge returns 404
- —No OpenAPI spec available for this endpoint
