Datasource Pulse
Verification PAYMENT-READYpayment-ready until 2026-09-15
One live health check on a data source, one instant machine-readable verdict. Monitor an Apify actor, API, or scraper for failures; check whether an API key silently failed; detect schema drift, stale data, empty results, dead credentials, rate limiting, and quota exhaustion. Validates keys for 35+ vendors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, GitHub and more), any HTTP endpoint, or a public Apify actor by id. Returns JSON: state, failure_class, message, recommended_action, latency_ms, metadata.
Pay from $0.02 per request in USDC on Base, settled onchain via the x402 protocol, no signup, no API key needed.

VERDICT
ranking generation 3solid 82/100 #53 of 76 in Verification by measured score
What the score read on this service: status online, 99.6% uptime 30d, 2111ms response p95, x402 compliance 14 of 14, $0.02 price against the category, on-chain traction measured. Each of those is measured, and each is published in full below.
The score comes from our own monitoring, never from reviews, operator claims, or a language model: reliability, x402 compliance, price against the category, a deterministic risk flag, and a small on-chain traction term, weighted by ranking generation 3. It is not placement anyone can buy: the paid verify tier is reported beside it and is not one of its inputs. Every component below stays published and read-only.
It is a score inside Verification, and only there: price and speed are scored against the whole category field, every listing in it that carries no danger flag, the scored service included, which here means 76 listings, this one among them. That set is wider than the 76 the position above is counted against, because a listing we have measured too little of to rank still sits in the field the price and the speed are normalized over. The same service in a different field would read differently. The same engine answers GET /api/v1/best, and asked for a different pool (the whole directory, or another filter) it returns a different number for this service under this same ranking generation. Neither is more correct: they answer different questions, and the methodology states which is which.
Bands on the 0 to 100 measured score: strong at 93 and above, solid from 75, mixed from 55, weak below 55. Price and speed are scored against the whole category field, every listing in it that carries no danger flag, the scored service included, so the score places a service in its own field.

No deterministic risk flag. Risk fires only on an exact blocklist match, or a reserved-brand name with a mismatched verified payTo. Never from low uptime, a high price, or a model guess.

Top buyer share is a concentration signal, not part of the ranking score.

REQUEST / RESPONSE EXAMPLE
An unpaid request to GET /api/x402/check returns HTTP 402 with the payment terms. Settle onchain via your facilitator, then retry with the X-Payment header.

] OVER TIME
All charts use the 30d selector; each series spans only the dates it has data for. Every series is also served as JSON at /api/v1/services/datasource-pulse/price, /scores, /volume and /buyers. On-chain volume and distinct buyers are measured over the service's settlement address and are a conservative undercount (only settlements that reach a measured facilitator are counted). The on-chain series roll up hourly, so the latest day can be up to about an hour behind; distinct buyers are counted per payout address, so a service that settles to more than one address is an upper bound.
