Methodology & data quality

Where this data comes from, and its limits

Data source

Every figure on the Agent Commerce Intelligence page comes from Coinbase's own public CDP Bazaar discovery API -- a free, unauthenticated, first-party endpoint that lists x402-payable services and each one's self-reported 30-day usage. We do not scrape third-party dashboards for this data; we read the facilitator's own public listing directly.

What counts as a "service"

Any resource CDP's discovery endpoint returns: a URL, a description, an x402 payment requirement (network, asset, price), and a rolling 30-day call count and unique-payer count as reported by the facilitator. We do not independently verify that a listed service is live, safe, or operated by who its domain implies.

What "observed 30-day calls" and "unique payers" mean

These are the facilitator's own self-reported rolling 30-day figures for each listed service, refreshed whenever we last ran our ingest (see the timestamp on the market page -- this is a periodic snapshot, never labeled "live"). They are a real usage signal, but they are not independently audited, and we cannot confirm every call represents a genuinely autonomous AI agent rather than a human, a test script, or repeated internal testing by the service's own operator.

On-chain settlement data

We separately index real on-chain settlements -- transaction hash, payer/payee wallet, amount -- but only for transfers to wallets we have positive evidence are real x402 payee addresses (self-declared in provider manifests, or our own). We never scan or classify arbitrary chain activity as x402.

Base: a checkpointed block scan against Coinbase's free public RPC, running every 15 minutes and typically caught up to the current chain head (near real-time).

Solana: the free public Solana RPC has no way to watch multiple wallets in a single request the way Base does, and is explicitly documented by the Solana Foundation as not intended for production use. So instead of one pass, we rotate through a bounded batch of known wallets every 15 minutes, each resuming from where it left off -- full coverage of all known wallets takes multiple cycles, and is best described as delayed, not live.

Every settlement carries an explicit attribution confidence (verified, high, or low) and is never presented as more certain than the evidence supports. Nothing on this page should be read as a claim about a specific transaction beyond what its stored confidence level states.

Category classification

Each service is assigned one demand category (search, SEO, company enrichment, blockchain/RPC, and so on) by a keyword heuristic run against its URL and description. This is a best-effort derived label, not something the listed provider confirmed. A service can be miscategorized, especially if its description is generic or omitted.

What a "provider" is

We group services by domain (the hostname of the service URL). A domain is not a verified legal entity or company -- we do not claim to know who operates a given domain beyond what is publicly resolvable from the URL itself.

Data freshness

The current snapshot was ingested Oct 19, 2026, 4:05 AM, covering 23,889 services. Ingestion runs periodically, not continuously -- this page will always state its snapshot time rather than imply real-time data.

Machine-readable access

The same data is available as JSON at /api/agent-commerce/v1/market-intelligence, documented alongside the rest of TradepilotUSA's Agent Commerce API in the developer docs and OpenAPI spec.
