@packetpay/js

A fetch client capable of paying for its requests

The code is available on GitHub and the package is published on NPM.

Overview

PacketPay is a system for making HTTP requests monetized using BSV micropayments.

The PacketPay client makes a pre-flight request to the server endpoint. If a 402 error is encountered, the client pays the server for the request and the response is returned. If the server does not charge for the response, the response is retured as normal. The Babbage SDK is used for payment.

There is a complementary server middleware for accepting these payments.

Installation

npm i @packetpay/js
