I built an x402 marketplace for verifiable public-domain data (SEC, NOAA, openFDA…) — Agents pay per record in USDC. Looking for feedback.

This is the most useful comment I've gotten, and you're right on every point. The pitch isn't "pay for free data" anyone can re-hit the source URL, and if all I'm selling is access, I've added nothing. What's actually hard, and what's actually for sale, is: one canonical schema across 37 heterogeneous APIs, the key/auth juggling abstracted away, uptime and rate limits you don't babysit, and the one I think is most underrated: point-in-time snapshots: what NVD said about a CVE before it got rescored, what a FRED series read before revision. The live source overwrites that history; I keep it. That's the part you can't just re-fetch. I'm going to pin the pitch to exactly that. On idempotency you're dead right, and it's the thing I want solid before agents hammer it. The pay-then-retry path needs the payment reference to map to a replayable claim, not a one-shot: if settlement lands but the retried GET times out, the agent re-claims the same record against the same payment ref, no double charge. Autonomous clients hit network blips constantly and a silent double-charge on micro amounts is exactly how you quietly lose trust. Putting that on the build list now. Genuinely useful, thank you!

the point-in-time snapshot angle is seriously underrated, nobody else preserving pre-rescore CVE reads or pre-revision FRED. for idempotency, store payment_ref -> claim_hash mapping so retries pull from cache instead of re-fetching. that'll save you when agents flake mid-settlement.
yo this project is cool, the idempotency problem you're solving for autonomous agents is legit and something a lot of folks are gonna hit as x402 gets traction. i work close with the wevolv3 crew and they've shipped some gnarly bot/agent infra that might actually help you tighten that settlement loop. wanna me intro you to the team? think there could be some good synergy here.
