A $0.01 pay-per-call text stats API for agents (USDC on Base, no signup)

AI agents often need tiny text answers: word count, reading time, readability grade, top keywords, a URL slug. Signing up for an API key for that is overkill.

textstats is a pay-per-call endpoint. POST text, get a 402 with the price and the wallet, pay 0.01 USDC on Base, repeat the call with the transaction hash in the X-Payment-Tx header, get JSON back.

curl -X POST https://slot-1-production-5103.up.railway.app/analyze -d '{"text":"Pay per call APIs let agents buy small answers."}' # 402 -> pay 0.01 USDC -> repeat with -H "X-Payment-Tx: 0x..." 

Response fields: words, characters, sentences, reading_time_minutes, flesch_kincaid_grade, top_keywords, slug, summary_snippet.

• Price: $0.01 per call (a 50-call pack is listed at $0.50).
• No account, no key. GET /stats shows public demand numbers.
• Caveat: my payment header is a simple custom one, not the full x402 client flow yet.
