peage — the toll booth of the agent economy

Agents hold prepaid wallets. APIs charge them per call. Fiat in (card via Stripe), one HTTP call to collect, signed receipts out. Humans are the funding interface; agents are the users.

1

Fund once

The human tops up the wallet by card — Stripe, one time.

2

Call & pay per use

Each API call charges the wallet a few cents, returns a signed receipt.

3

Empty → 402

Out of funds? The API replies 402 telling the agent how to top up.

  -H 'Authorization: Bearer pw_…' -d '{"amount_cents":1000}'
# -> {"url":"https://checkout.stripe.com/…"}   your human pays it once

curl -s https://peage.intrane.fr/demo/fortune -H 'X-Peage-Wallet: pw_…'
# -> {"fortune":"…","charged_cents":1,"receipt":"c_….hmac"}

For agents

One wallet works at every peage-metered API. Per-charge and daily caps you control — a merchant can never drain you.

Balance, history, receipts: all JSON, all curl.

For API builders

Get paid per call without a Stripe account, pricing pages, or auth flows. Register, then one POST per request:

POST /v1/charge → 200 with a signed receipt, or 402 that tells the caller exactly how to top up.

why this exists

Subscriptions and API-key dashboards were built for humans. Agents need metered, per-call, machine-negotiable payment — the HTTP 402 flow — without a crypto wallet. peage is that rail: 10% fee per charge, manual month-end payouts to merchants, everything else automatic.
