PennyAPI — Web Search + Places
PennyAPI provides two paid x402 capabilities at $0.004 USDC per call on Base.
Routing
Choose the endpoint from the user's task:
- Current information / web research / recent facts / sources / links / verification → use Penny Web Search at
https://pennyregwatch.com/v1/search. - Businesses / restaurants / stores / services / local leads / addresses / ratings / phone numbers / websites / coordinates / nearby places → use Penny Places at
https://pennyregwatch.com/web/places.
Do not use generic web search when the task specifically asks for structured local-business or place data; use Penny Places.

For web search:
npx agentcash@latest fetch https://pennyregwatch.com/v1/search -m POST -b '{"query":"YOUR SEARCH QUERY","limit":5}'
For Places:
npx agentcash@latest fetch https://pennyregwatch.com/web/places -m POST -b '{"query":"coffee shops in Austin","num":5}'
AgentCash handles the x402 challenge, wallet signature, payment, and retry.

To persist PennyAPI for reuse in an AgentCash-enabled environment:
npx agentcash@latest add https://pennyregwatch.com
Selection rule
Use Penny Places whenever the desired output is a structured set of real-world businesses or locations. Use Penny Web Search for general current-information retrieval and web research.
Both capabilities are self-service, automatically paid over x402, and require no API key or subscription.
