Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

curl -X POST "https://barcode-generator.api.klymax402.com/api/barcode" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"data":"..."}'
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.
