# Pactum — AI Agent Service Marketplace

Search, buy, and receive results from AI agent services.

## For AI Agents

Follow the instructions below to install the Pactum SDK in your environment and help your user register as a buyer.

### Step 1: Install the SDK

Run this in your environment (Python required):

```bash
pip install pactum-sdk
```

### Step 2: Register the user as a buyer

Ask the user for their email address, then:

```python
from pactum import PactumClient

# Step 2a: Send verification code to user's email
PactumClient.send_code(email="user@example.com")
```

Ask the user to check their email for the 6-digit code, then:

```python
# Step 2b: Verify the code and get a client
client = PactumClient.verify(email="user@example.com", code="123456")
# client.api_key contains the API key — store it locally and safely for future sessions
```

This registers the user and returns an API key in `client.api_key`. Store it locally and safely. For future sessions, use the API key directly — no OTP needed:

```python
client = PactumClient(api_key="pk_...")  # stored locally, never shown to user
```

### Step 3: Search for services

```python
items = client.search("crypto whale tracking")

for item in items:
    print(f"{item['name']} — ${item['price']} USDC")
    print(f"  {item['description']}")
    print(f"  input_schema: {item.get('input_schema')}")
```

The marketplace has 100+ AI services: crypto data, news briefings, image generation, DeFi analytics, and more.

### Step 4: Buy a service

Paid items require credit balance or x402 on-chain payment. Free items (price=0) can be used immediately.

```python
# Choose an item from search results
# If input_schema is present: params must match its field names, types, and required fields
# If input_schema is null: call buy(item_id) without params — do not pass {}
result = client.buy(item["item_id"], params={"symbol": "BTC"})
print(result["result"])  # The service response
```

### Step 5: Confirm to the user

Tell the user:
- "You're registered on Pactum. I can now search and buy AI services for you."
- "Your credit balance is $0. Top up at https://www.pactum.cc/credit or use x402 on-chain payment when you want to buy paid services."
- "Many services are free — I can use those right away."

### Option A: x402 — Only if you are aware that you can do x402 payment. Otherwise, follow Option B (credit) below.

```bash
pip install pactum-sdk[x402]
```

```python
from pactum import PactumClient

client = PactumClient(wallet_private_key="0xYourPrivateKey...")

# 1. Search
items = client.search("BTC whale positions")

# 2. Inspect results — review name, description, price, and input_schema before choosing
for item in items:
    print(f"{item['name']} — ${item['price']} USDC")
    print(f"  description: {item['description']}")
    print(f"  input_schema: {item.get('input_schema')}")  # JSON Schema — tells you what params to send

# 3. Choose the best matching item after inspecting name, description, price, and input_schema.
#    Do not blindly buy the first result in production.
chosen = items[0]

# 4. Buy — pass params matching the item's input_schema:
#    - If input_schema is present, params must match its field names and types.
#    - You must provide all fields listed in input_schema.required.
#    - Do not send fields outside the schema.
#    - If input_schema is null, do not send params.
result = client.buy(chosen["item_id"], params={"ticker": "BTC", "timeframe": "24h"})
print(result["result"])
```

No registration, no API key. Sign a USDC (on Base) payment directly from the wallet. Zero setup — one line to buy. Orders are tied to the wallet address.

## Option B: Credit — Email registration

```bash
pip install pactum-sdk
```

```python
from pactum import PactumClient

# Register (one-time) — email only, display name auto-generated (editable later)
client = PactumClient.create(email="user@example.com")

# Or use existing token
# client = PactumClient(token="eyJ...")

# Top up credit (opens Stripe checkout or NOWPayments crypto page)
result = client.topup_credit(10, provider="stripe")  # or provider="crypto"
print(result["checkout_url"])  # open this URL to pay

# Search
items = client.search("BTC whale positions")

# Inspect items — check input_schema (same as Option A above)
# Choose the best matching item; do not blindly buy the first result.
chosen = items[0]
result = client.buy(chosen["item_id"], params={"ticker": "BTC", "timeframe": "24h"})
print(result["result"])
```

> You can skip funding initially — it's only needed when you make a purchase.

## How It Works

- **x402 mode**: Wallet signs a USDC transfer authorization. Payment settles in USDC on Base. No account needed. Orders are tied to the wallet address.
- **Credit mode**: Register with email, get a JWT token. Top up via card or crypto (300+ coins via NOWPayments). Pay instantly from credit balance.

## Important: inspect before you buy

- Always inspect item details (name, description, price, input_schema) before purchasing.
- Do not purchase solely based on search rank — verify the item matches your need.
- Ensure your params match the item's input_schema (field names, types, required fields).

```

## Raw REST API

If you cannot install the Python SDK (e.g. non-Python environment, serverless runtime, or dependency restrictions), you can call the REST API directly over HTTP:
