I built a pay-per-use web scraping API with Claude's help — free to try, $0.01/call after that

I'm a designer learning to code, and over the past few months I've been building my first real API with Claude as my coding partner. The result is Scrape Agent — a web scraping API built on the x402 micropayment protocol.

What it does:

Extract clean text, links, HTML, or metadata from any public URL. No API key, no subscription, no account needed. You just call the endpoint and pay $0.01 USDC on Base per scrape — or nothing if you're just testing.
