When an agent hits a paywall, it should know what to do next.
Clanker Banker is a small API for AI agents. It explains HTTP 402 paywalls for free, and can turn an open page into clean markdown for about $0.005.
1. Decode a 402 — free
Give us any public URL. We say whether it is open, blocked, or asking for payment, and if it is an x402 paywall we show who to pay.
No account. No wallet. GET /v1/resolve?url=…
2. Pack a page — $0.005
If the page is public, we strip the chrome and return markdown sized for a model. Pay with a $5 credit (card) or USDC on Base.
POST /v1/llm-pack
