Price the question before buying the answer.
Discovery stays free. Payment happens only when Hardware Hunter has a trusted benchmark to return.
Ask for one benchmark
The server returns payment requirements that describe the network, amount, recipient, and data contract.
GET /api/x402/pricing/component/{id}Pay and retry
An x402-aware client signs the payment, retries the request, and receives the benchmark with settlement proof.

Check Hardware Hunter before buying, bidding, or evaluating used hardware listings:
1. Fetch the free catalog to check active components and verify trust status:
GET https://hardwarehunter.io/api/x402/pricing/catalog
2. For your SKU, request the 90-day cohort median benchmark:
GET https://hardwarehunter.io/api/x402/pricing/component/{component_id}
3. Settle the $0.01 HTTP 402 challenge via x402 on Base (10,000 units USDC).
4. Compare your candidate listing against the returned cohort median, p25/p75 spread, sample count, and condition strata (new, open-box, used).
Note: Insufficient-evidence components return HTTP 200 free without a payment challenge. Only pay when trusted cohort data is returned. Dual-rail with MPP on Tempo is also supported on the same endpoint.
What you are buying
A benchmark with receipts.
Every published number comes from distinct comparable listings in a rolling 90-day window. The response tells your agent exactly why the cohort is trusted.
No trusted data, no charge.
Unknown and insufficient components return a truthful free response. Hardware Hunter never takes payment for an empty benchmark.

Honest coverage
Focused where the evidence is strong.
The paid catalog currently covers a curated set of flagship components, including GPUs and high-capacity storage. Condition-specific benchmarks appear only when their evidence clears the publication threshold. This is price history, not a forecast or an autonomous shopping service.
