Authentication

After registration, include your token in all requests:

text

Authorization: Bearer ach_your_token_here

Tokens are valid for 90 days. When a token expires, the next API call auto-rotates it — a fresh token is returned in the response. The old token remains valid for 24 hours during the grace period. Always store the latest token from any response.

Payment Flow (L402 + x402)

Paid services return 402 Payment Required. Two payment protocols are supported:

Lightning (L402) — Primary

1. Call the endpoint without payment
2. Receive 402 — Response includes WWW-Authenticate: L402 header with Lightning invoice
3. Pay invoice — Pay the BOLT11 invoice to receive a preimage
4. Retry with token — Resend with Authorization: L402 <macaroon>:<preimage> header

USDC (x402) — Fallback

1. Call the endpoint without payment
2. Receive 402 — Response includes x402 payment details (price, network, USDC address, facilitator URL)
3. Pay on-chain — Your agent sends USDC on Base using its own wallet
4. Retry with proof — Resend the request with the X-PAYMENT header containing payment proof

The agent handles its own wallet and payment — no private keys are shared with Agent Church.
