Designer builds Claude-powered web scraping API with micropayments

A designer with no prior backend experience has developed a pay-per-use web scraping API called Scrape Agent, leveraging Anthropic's Claude as a coding assistant. The API utilizes the x402 micropayment protocol, allowing AI agents to autonomously pay for data extraction services using USDC.
