# Agentic Payments: let AI agents buy Zenrows

> AI agents can buy and call Zenrows Fetch and Extract on their own at agents.zenrows.com, paying over x402, MPP or a card. No Zenrows account or API key needed.

AI agents can buy Zenrows on their own. At the agent storefront, `agents.zenrows.com`, an agent reads the prices, pays over **x402**, **MPP** or a **card**, and calls [Fetch (formerly, Universal Scraper API)](/fetch/api-reference) and [Extract](/extract/introduction) with the same requests the Zenrows API takes. It doesn't need a Zenrows account or an API key.

## Get started

Give your agent one URL:

```text theme={"dark"}
https://agents.zenrows.com/llms.txt
```

That file walks the agent through everything else. In short, the agent:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Reads the prices">
    Live services and prices, as text and JSON. Looking costs nothing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Registers a free agent credential">
    One API call, no human step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Buys credits or a plan">
    It pays over x402 or MPP (USDC), or by card through a checkout link it can pay itself or send to you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Calls Fetch or Extract">
    The same request and parameters as `api.zenrows.com`, drawn from its balance. Failed requests aren't charged.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  To keep what your agent buys, claim its credential with your email when it asks. A claimed credential makes what it bought durable and recoverable.
</Tip>

## Pricing

Same credit weights as a zenrows.com account, and only successful requests are charged:

| Request | Credits |
| - | - |
| Standard | 1 |
| JavaScript rendering | 5 |
| Premium proxies | 10 |
| Both (protected page) | 25 |

Agents can buy pay-as-you-go credits or a monthly plan. Monthly plans cost the same and include the same credits as the first tier of each plan on zenrows.com, but cover Fetch and Extract only.

| Plan | Price | Credits |
| - | - | - |
| Pay-as-you-go | \$0.50 per 1,000 credits | Minimum purchase 10,000 |
| Build | \$19/month | 45,000 |
| Launch | \$69/month | 250,000 |
| Growth | \$199/month | 1,200,000 |
| Scale | \$549/month | 5,000,000 |
| Free | No cost | 5,000, once, after the agent's human verifies an email |

Plans on a zenrows.com account include every product. See [Pricing](/first-steps/pricing).

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need crypto?">
    No. Your agent can pay by card through a checkout link. x402 and MPP are there for agents that already have a wallet.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use my existing Zenrows API key?">
    No. The storefront uses its own agent credential, not a Zenrows API key. If you already have a key, keep calling the API directly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I control what my agent spends?">
    The agent sees prices before it buys, pays for a fixed balance or plan up front, and is only charged for successful requests. Set a budget in your agent's instructions.
