# switch402

> One x402 endpoint for page-to-markdown scraping. switch402 picks a healthy x402 scrape provider, pays it for you, fails over to the next one on error, and returns one normalized markdown result. You are only charged if a result comes back.

Full, current API details for agents: https://api.switch402.com/llms.txt
