What it does
Pay For HTTP Request is an agent skill from stripe/purl, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Make HTTP requests with automatic x402 payment support using the purl command line interface.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with x402. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/pay-for-http-request”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create a wallet: purl wallet add
- Set up a payment method (wallet) with funds on the desired network
- Ensure the target API supports x402 payment protocol
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb82039. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
PURL_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Pay For HTTP Request loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 596 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

pay-for-http-request
Make HTTP requests with automatic x402 payment support using purl.
Description
This skill enables making HTTP requests to payment-gated APIs using purl, a curl-like CLI tool that automatically handles x402-based payments on EVM and Solana networks.
When to Use This Skill
When an API returns HTTP 402 (Payment Required) and supports the x402 payment protocol, purl can automatically negotiate and execute the payment to access the resource.
Common Scenarios
| Scenario | Example |
|---|---|
| Tool calls | Paying per request to an API service |
| Premium data feeds | Accessing real-time market data, weather, or analytics |
| Content monetization | Paying to access paywalled articles or media |
| Compute resources | On-demand access to compute or storage services |
When NOT to Use
- Regular HTTP requests that don't require payment (use
curlinstead) - APIs using traditional payment methods (credit cards, API keys with billing)
