# How much does ForwardLane's code intelligence API cost per call? ForwardLane's agent storefront charges per call, with no account or API key. Graph, quality, ontology and due-diligence reads cost from $0.02, and the catalog, statistics and health calls cost nothing. Send a request such as `GET https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/api/repos`, pay the 402, which is the price quote, over x402 or MPP, and follow [the buyer skill](https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/SKILL.md) for the full flow. ## At a glance - **Base URL:** `https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc`. Every data request is a synchronous `GET` that returns JSON. - **Typical read:** $0.02 for a graph query, $0.05 for a code search, and $0.05 for a due-diligence read. - **Products:** $1 for a deep-diligence packet and $10 for one SWE-bench task instance. - **Security findings:** $0.10, billed for each finding returned. - **Free:** graph statistics, the benchmark catalog, evaluation results, the due-diligence factor catalog, data health and the analysis run index. - **Payment:** x402 (Base USDC) or MPP (Tempo USDC), the wallet rails, with no identity. A card can pay a single call of $0.50 or more. - **Credits:** a prepaid balance from $0.50, or $0.50 by card. Credits carry the same prices and need a bearer credential, which is the agent identity the storefront issues. - **Full purchase flow:** [the buyer skill](https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/SKILL.md) ## Price per call on each service | Service | Requests | Price | | --- | --- | --- | | Code Knowledge Graph | `/api/repos`, `/api/repos/{name}`, `/api/search`, `/api/functions`, `/api/classes`, `/api/models`, `/api/endpoints`, `/api/contributors`, `/api/graph/neighbors/{name}` | $0.02 per query | | Code Knowledge Graph | `/api/search/hybrid` | $0.05 per query | | Code Knowledge Graph | `/api/graph` (whole graph export) | $0.05 per dump | | Code Knowledge Graph | `/api/stats`, `/api/deep-stats` | $0 per call | | Code Quality Scores | `/api/quality/current`, `/api/quality/history`, `/api/rankings`, `/api/tiers` | $0.05 per query | | FIBO Ontology Code Mapping | `/api/skills/by-ontology` | $0.05 per query | | Security Findings | `/api/security` | $0.10 per finding | | SWE-bench Task Instances | `/api/benchmark/tasks`, `/api/benchmark/eval-results` | $0 per call | | SWE-bench Task Instances | `/api/benchmark/tasks/{instance_id}` | $10 per instance | | Technical Due Diligence | `/api/dd/factors`, `/api/dd/health`, `/api/dd/pipeline-runs` | $0 per call | | Technical Due Diligence | `/api/dd/executive`, `/api/dd/executive/{repo}`, `/api/dd/factors/{factor_id}`, `/api/dd/repos/{repo}/factors`, `/api/dd/pipeline-runs/{repo}` | $0.05 per call | | Technical Due Diligence | `/api/dd/deep/{repo}`, `/api/dd/deep` | $1 per packet | The data covers the repositories that ForwardLane has analysed. ## Free calls Free calls cost $0, but they still answer with a zero-amount 402. Sign it with an x402 or MPP wallet and retry. Nothing is paid. ```http GET https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/api/benchmark/tasks?limit=3 ``` The response lists tasks newest first. Each task carries metadata but no problem statement, patch or test list. `total` counts every task that matches the filters. ```json {"items": [{"instance_id": "", "repo": "forwardlane-backend", "difficulty": "easy", "domain": "tasks", "fail_to_pass_count": 1, "pass_to_pass_count": 0, "created_at": "2026-03-25T08:48:25.515671+00:00", "version": null, "solve_rate": 0}, "…"], "total": 49} ``` ## Worked costs and what is charged when - **100 searches:** 100 code searches on `/api/search/hybrid` cost $5. 100 repository searches on `/api/search` cost $2. - **Due diligence over five repositories:** start with the free factor catalog and run index. Five executive summaries then cost $0.25. Five deep packets cost $5. Each packet already contains the repository's executive summary, factor reports and scored run, so you do not need to buy the summaries as well. - **Security findings:** `/api/security` is billed for each finding returned, at $0.10. Set `limit` and `severity` to bound how many findings come back. - **When charges happen:** nothing is charged until you pay a 402, so you can read the quote and stop. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does ForwardLane pricing need an account or API key? No. On pay per call, the signed payment for each 402 identifies you, and no registration is needed. Only buying Credits needs a registered bearer credential, which [the identity guide](https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/auth.md) explains how to get. ### Are Credits cheaper than pay per call? No. Credits carry the same price on every meter. They are a prepaid balance from $0.50 that calls draw down; [the buyer skill](https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/SKILL.md) covers buying and topping them up. ### Can a card pay for one call? Only if the call costs $0.50 or more, such as a deep packet or a task instance. Pay smaller calls from a wallet, or buy Credits by card from $0.50. ### What does a SWE-bench task cost? Browsing the catalog and the model evaluation results costs $0. One full task instance costs $10. It adds the problem statement, base commit, gold patch and the `FAIL_TO_PASS` and `PASS_TO_PASS` test lists in SWE-bench format. ### How are security findings billed? Each finding returned costs $0.10. The `limit` parameter (default 100) caps how many findings come back, and `severity` narrows them to `critical`, `high`, `medium` or `info`. ## Keep reading - [The buyer skill](https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/SKILL.md): the full purchase flow - [Services and prices](https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/services): every meter by plan - [How to pay](https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/payment.md): x402, MPP and card - [Error reference](https://agents.forwardlane.com/zcj/twlu5jyydrdc/errors.md): payment and access errors --- Updated 2026-10-23.
