TrustSource API
x402-powered verification APIs for AI agents — URL safety, email authentication, domain trust, SSL/TLS, security headers, robots.txt. Pay per use, no API keys, no accounts.
Quick Start
1. Install dependencies
2. Configure environment
Open .env and set at minimum:
PAY_TO_ADDRESS=0xYourBaseWalletAddress
Leave everything else as-is to run on Base Sepolia testnet (no real money).
3. Run the server
You should see the startup banner at http://localhost:3000.
Testing the x402 Flow
Free endpoints (no payment needed)
curl http://localhost:3000/
curl http://localhost:3000/health
Paid endpoint — what an unpaid agent sees
curl http://localhost:3000/trustscore?domain=example.com
# Returns HTTP 402 with payment instructions in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header
Paid endpoint — bypass payment for local dev testing
The x402 testnet facilitator at https://x402.org/facilitator accepts test payments.
To fully test the payment flow, use an x402 client with a funded testnet wallet.

Get testnet USDC: https://faucet.circle.com (select Base Sepolia)
Switching to Mainnet (Production)
-
In .env, change:
NETWORK=eip155:8453
FACILITATOR_URL=https://api.cdp.coinbase.com/platform/v2/x402
CDP_API_KEY_ID=your-key-id
CDP_API_KEY_SECRET=your-key-secret
-
Make sure your PAY_TO_ADDRESS Base wallet has some ETH for gas.
-
Your endpoints auto-list in the Bazaar/Agentic.Market after the first paid call clears.
API Reference
GET /safefetch ⭐
Fetch a page safely instead of fetching it directly: returns sanitized, agent-ready text plus a prompt-injection verdict.
An agent cannot scan a page for injection with its own model without first ingesting the attack. /safefetch does the fetching and scanning server-side — outside your agent's context window — and hands back classified content, so hostile markup never reaches your model unlabelled.
Detects: instructions hidden in display:none / off-screen elements, HTML comments, alt attributes · invisible Unicode-Tag (U+E0000) and zero-width smuggling · homoglyph-obfuscated and base64-encoded payloads · ChatML / [INST] delimiter spoofing · markdown-image data exfiltration · tool-call bait.
Findings are weighted by where they appear — a security article discussing injection in visible prose is not flagged; the same phrase hidden in markup is.
Payment: 0.01 USDC per call (via x402) · Cache: 10 minutes
Params: ?url=https://example.com
Response:
{
"url": "https://example.com/article",
"verdict": "BLOCK",
"risk": 0.95,
"reasons": [
"instruction override concealed in hidden content (display:none)"

"response": { "status": 200, "redirects": 1, "bytes": 45210 }
}
Verdicts: BLOCK — a critical technique concealed from human view, or aggregate risk ≥ 0.7. REVIEW — weaker signals, low-trust host, or a content type that was not scanned. SAFE — nothing concealed and aggregate risk below 0.25 (visible-text matches may still be present in injection.findings, deliberately weighted low).
GET /urlcheck
One composite CLEAR / REVIEW / BLOCK safety verdict on any URL, fusing domain trust, a live TLS check, and typosquat/lookalike detection.
Payment: 0.01 USDC per call (via x402)
Params:
?url=https://example.com — URL to vet?domain=example.com — bare domain (alternative)
Response:

}
Verdicts: CLEAR (safe) · REVIEW (inspect before acting) · BLOCK (do not proceed)
GET /emailtrust
Email-authentication posture grade (SPF/DKIM/DMARC/BIMI/MX) — is this sender domain spoofable?
Payment: 0.003 USDC per call (via x402)
Params:
?domain=example.com — sender domain (or user@example.com)
Response:

"meta": { "checkedAt": "...", "apiVersion": "1.0", "paidWith": "x402/USDC", "cached": false }
}
Grades: A/B = enforced, not spoofable · C/D = monitoring only, spoofable · F = no authentication
GET /trustscore
