Skim - Clean Reader API
x402-native clean reader for AI agents. POST a URL, get back agent-ready Markdown plus structured metadata (title, byline, published date, word count) in well under a second. Pay per call in USDC on Base over HTTP 402 - no signup, no API keys, no accounts. Endpoints: /read ($0.002 basic read), /read/js ($0.005, headless-browser rendering for JS-heavy pages), /read/batch ($0.015, up to 10 URLs), /extract ($0.02, structured field extraction). Discovery metadata served at the base URL; also available as an MCP server (npm: skim-mcp). Docs: https://skim402.com/docs

How to call this API
Every protected route returns HTTP 402 with x402 payment requirements. An agent pays the stated USDC amount on Base and retries with the payment header. No API keys, no accounts. Browse the marketplace or list your own API.
