# API Pay-Per-Call Access

Traditional APIs depend on monthly subscriptions or API keys, which limit scalability and exclude smaller users.\
With 402Gate, developers can monetize any endpoint through **micro-transactions per request** — simple, verifiable, and transparent.

#### **Use Case Points**

1. **Instant Monetization**\
   Each API call triggers an HTTP `402 Payment Required` response. Users pay in **$402G, USDC, or SOL** and immediately regain access. No billing cycles, no API keys.
2. **Developer Flexibility**\
   Providers can set dynamic pricing (per request, per MB, per time window) and view real-time analytics of usage and revenue.
3. **Fair Access for Everyone**\
   Startups and AI bots pay only for what they use — enabling global developers to access data without committing to recurring fees.

> *“Every API call is value — make it verifiable.”*
