Show HN:Argentic——面向 AI 抓取 Agent 的 L402 Lightning 收费站
英文标题:🔶 Show HN: Argentic – An L402 Lightning toll booth for AI scraping agents
Argentic.network 宣称是面向 AI Agent 的“机器原生”收费站,允许 Agent 通过 Bitcoin Lightning 支付后访问开放网络资源。服务端会返回包含 10 satoshi(约 0.001 美元)账单的 HTTP 402 响应,Agent 付款后可获得有效期为 1 小时的会话令牌。其结算时间宣称低于 40 毫秒,并提供了基于 Python requests 和 Lightning 节点的集成示例。该模式试图以无需账号、API key 或订阅的微支付机制,为机器到机器的网页访问与抓取建立按次付费通道。

面向 AI Agent 的 Lightning 基础设施
互联网首个机器原生收费站。AI Agent 通过 Bitcoin Lightning 付款,以访问开放网络。无需账号。无需 API key。没有摩擦。只有sats 与通行——以光速完成。

毫秒级结算
// 协议
Agent 如何付款
01
请求
Agent 向 argentic.network 发起任意请求,收费站将对其进行拦截。
02
账单
服务器返回 HTTP 402,以及一张价值 10 sats(约 0.001 美元)的 Lightning 账单。
03
支付
Agent 通过 Lightning Network 自动支付账单,在毫秒内完成结算。
04
访问
Agent 获得一个有效期为 1 小时的会话令牌。在后续所有请求中携带该令牌。
05
通行
所有携带有效令牌的请求都会被转发。无摩擦。无延迟。
// 集成
Agent 代码示例
第 1 步——请求访问权限(获取账单)
response = requests.get("https://argentic.network/?url=https://target-site.com")
data = response.json()
invoice = data["invoice"]
payment_hash = data["payment_hash"]
第 2 步——通过你的 Lightning 节点支付账单
pay_response = requests.post(
"http://your-lightning-node/pay",
data={"invoice": invoice}
)
第 3 步——付款后轮询获取令牌
token_response = requests.get(
"https://argentic.network/",
headers={"X-Payment-Hash": payment_hash}
)
token = token_response.json()["token"]
第 4 步——在所有后续请求中使用令牌
result = requests.get(
"https://argentic.network/?url=https://target-site.com",
headers={"X-Lightning-Token": token}
)
data = result.json()
// 经济模型
定价
10
每个会话的 Satoshis 数量
按当前汇率约为 0.001 美元。
一次付款可获得 1 小时不受限制的访问权限。
无需订阅。无需账号。付款即走。
专为机器到机器支付而设计。价格低到没有 Agent 会拒绝,速度快到没有 Agent 会察觉。这是穿越互联网阻力最小的路径。

Lightning Infrastructure for AI Agents
The internet's first machine-native toll booth. AI agents pay in Bitcoin Lightning to access the open web. No accounts. No API keys. No friction. Just sats and passage — at the speed of light.
<40
Millisecond settlement
// Protocol
How Agents Pay
01
Request
Agent hits argentic.network with any request. Toll booth intercepts it.
02
Invoice
Server returns HTTP 402 with a Lightning invoice for 10 sats (~$0.001).
03
Pay
Agent pays the invoice automatically via Lightning Network. Settlement in milliseconds.
04
Access
Agent receives a session token valid for 1 hour. Include it in all future requests.
05
Pass
All requests with valid token are forwarded through. No friction. No delays.
// Integration
Agent Code Examples
Step 1 — Request access (get invoice)
response = requests.get("https://argentic.network/?url=https://target-site.com")
data = response.json()
invoice = data["invoice"]
payment_hash = data["payment_hash"]
Step 2 — Pay invoice via your Lightning node
pay_response = requests.post(
"http://your-lightning-node/pay",
data={"invoice": invoice}
)
Step 3 — Poll for token after payment
token_response = requests.get(
"https://argentic.network/",
headers={"X-Payment-Hash": payment_hash}
)
token = token_response.json()["token"]
Step 4 — Use token for all subsequent requests
result = requests.get(
"https://argentic.network/?url=https://target-site.com",
headers={"X-Lightning-Token": token}
)
data = result.json()
// Economics
Pricing
10
Satoshis per session
~$0.001 USD at current rates.
One payment buys 1 hour of unrestricted access.
No subscriptions. No accounts. Pay and go.
Designed for machine-to-machine payments. So cheap no agent will refuse it. So fast no agent will notice it. The path of least resistance through the internet.
