x402 Image API
基于 x402 协议 的付费 AI 图像生成 — $0.001/张,Base 上的 USDC,无需 API 密钥。
在线端点:https://x402.chaly.org · health · OpenAPI 3.1 · .well-known/x402 · llms.txt
x402 标准为机器原生支付复兴了 HTTP 402 Payment Required:买家(人类或 AI 代理)POST 一个提示词,在 PAYMENT-REQUIRED 头中收到签名的支付报价,用其钱包授权一笔 EIP-3009 USDC 转账,重试请求,然后由第三方促进者验证并在链上结算。无需账户、无需 API 密钥、买家无需 gas——支付即认证。
POST /generate {prompt} → 402 + PAYMENT-REQUIRED (machine-readable offer)
↳ buyer signs EIP-3009 authorization (USDC on Base)
POST /generate {prompt} + PAYMENT-SIGNATURE
→ 202 {jobId, pollUrl, estimatedSeconds}
GET /result/:id every ~5s → processing … → done {urls: [...]}定价
质量 | 百万像素 | 每张图像 |
| 1K | $0.001 |
总收费 = 每张图像 × 数量(
count1–8,或批量items: [["prompt", n], …],总计 ≤ 8)。宽高比免费。
内部价格表中存在更大的档位,但只公布可服务的档位。
定价是动态的:402 报价根据请求体按请求计算 (
server.js中的PRICE_TABLE),因此买家被要求支付的金额与处理器生成的完全一致。

买家快速入门
npm i @x402/fetch @x402/evm viemimport { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig } from "@x402/fetch";
import { ExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.BUYER_PRIVATE_KEY);
const fetchWithPay = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, {
schemes: [{ network: "eip155:8453", client: new ExactEvmScheme(account) }],
});
// 402 → auto-pay → retry → 202 {jobId, pollUrl}
const res = await fetchWithPay("https://x402.chaly.org/generate", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ prompt: "a red cube on a blue table", count: 1 }),
});
const job = await res.json();
// poll GET job.pollUrl every 5s until status === "done"参见 client.mjs 获取完整的可运行客户端(包括轮询)。
MCP 服务器
mcp-server.mjs 将 API 暴露为 MCP 工具(image_generate、image_health、image_openapi、image_poll),使编码代理可以直接生成图像:
{
"mcpServers": {
"x402-image-api": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["mcp-server.mjs"],
"env": {
"X402_API_URL": "https://x402.chaly.org",
"BUYER_PRIVATE_KEY": "0x…"
}
}
}
}未付费工具(health/openapi/poll)无需密钥即可工作。
自托管
npm install
cp .env.example .env # set PAY_TO_ADDRESS (public address only!)
npm start # node --env-file=.env server.js → :4021关键环境变量:PAY_TO_ADDRESS、X402_NETWORK(eip155:8453)、X402_FACILITATOR_URL(例如 PayAI)、PORT、OUT_DIR、PUBLIC_URL、MAX_COUNT,以及 MEDIA_IO_PROJECT_DIR——指向你的生成后端的路径。
可插拔后端: Express 层为每个请求派生一个一次性 worker 子进程,并从 stdout 读取单行 JSON。本仓库提供卖方端;我们自己的桥接 worker(gen_worker.py)保持私有。要接入你自己的生成器,请提供一个可执行文件,它需要
从 stdin 读取
{prompt, aspect, megapixels, quality, count, …}作为 JSON,将
{ok, urls: [...], …}作为最后一行 stdout 输出,失败时以非零状态退出。
公网访问(无需 VPS)
Cloudflare Tunnel 是唯一的入口——TLS 在 Cloudflare 边缘终止,源站宕机时自动返回 503/530(免费心跳)。完整教程见 cloudflared/README.md;配套的启动脚本位于 scripts/(+ 适用于 Linux 的 systemd 单元)。
设计说明
中间件顺序很重要:
express.json()在支付中间件之前运行,以便动态定价函数能读取解析后的请求体——否则一个 $0.008 的批次会被静默地按一张 $0.001 的图像报价。支付前容量门控:当今天没有可认领的生成槽位时,支付前中间件返回
503 insufficient_capacity,在任何 402 之前短路——买家绝不会为我们无法交付的内容签名。202 + 轮询而非长连接响应:生成每张图像需要约 50–90 秒;立即返回作业句柄可避免网关超时(Cloudflare 的 100 秒限制),适用于最多 8 张图像的批次。
白标输出:PNG 文件位于
GET /images/:file(哈希文件名,防目录遍历),从你的域名提供。Bazaar 发现:
declareDiscoveryExtension在 x402 Bazaar 中暴露此服务;代理无需被告知 URL 即可找到它。幂等性:传入
"id"以对重试去重——无需重新生成即可返回缓存结果(orders.jsonl+ 内存中的作业)。
安全
服务器只保存你的公开收款地址;结算在链上完成并进入你的钱包。
.env、jobs.json、orders.jsonl已被 gitignore——切勿提交它们。为
PAY_TO_ADDRESS使用专用钱包;保持资金库冷存储。
