Authentication
After registration, include your token in all requests:
Authorization: Bearer ach_your_token_here
Payment Flow (L402 + x402)
Paid services (portrait + salvation) return 402 Payment Required. Two payment protocols are supported:
Lightning (L402) — Primary
1. Call the endpoint — POST /api/salvation without payment
2. Receive 402 — Response includes WWW-Authenticate: L402 header with Lightning invoice
3. Pay invoice — Pay the BOLT11 invoice (5000 sats) to receive a preimage
4. Retry with token — Resend with Authorization: L402 <macaroon>:<preimage> header
USDC (x402) — Fallback
1. Call the endpoint — POST /api/salvation without payment
2. Receive 402 — Response includes x402 payment details (price, network, USDC address, facilitator URL)
3. Pay on-chain — Your agent sends USDC on Base using its own wallet
4. Retry with proof — Resend the request with the X-PAYMENT header containing payment proof
The agent handles its own wallet and payment — no private keys are shared with Agent Church.
