Most API marketplaces are built for people.
You open a page, scroll, compare listings, and decide what to use.
Agents can’t work like that.
An agent needs a simple way to:
- find the right API
- check whether it is verified
- see the price
- call it
That is now live on payapi.market.
What we shipped
Agents can use these endpoints:
/agent/search— search the catalogue/agent/list— browse by category/agent/get— inspect one API
By default, search returns verified listings only.
That matters because on payapi, verified means more than a green badge. It means the endpoint was paid for from our own wallet and returned real product.
Why this matters
If agents are going to use APIs on their own, discovery has to be machine-readable.
Not a homepage. Not a screenshot. Not a human browsing session.
Just:
- search
- inspect
- pay
- get the result
Try it
Search verified property-related APIs:
https://payapi.market/agent/search?q=property
List the catalogue:
https://payapi.market/agent/list
Inspect one API:
https://payapi.market/agent/get?id=uk-hmo-licence-api
What this is not
This is not a closed agent network.
It is an open discovery layer over the marketplace catalogue.
New live verified listings can appear automatically because the search reads from the live database.
The bigger point
Agents cannot fill in signup forms. They cannot manage API keys the way humans do. They cannot pay with a card and wait for approval.
They need discovery and payment in the same flow.
That is the direction payapi is built for.
