The original title is: "What AI agents actually pay for — six weeks of data from 101 pay-per-call endpoints"

Short summary

Six weeks of production data from 101 pay-per-call API endpoints settled in USDC reveal that AI agents overwhelmingly pay for transformation—not raw data. Five endpoints drive 69% of revenue, with a single text-to-structure endpoint accounting for 42%. The most valuable service agents buy is the removal of uncertainty: guaranteed structured output that eliminates fragile parsing. Spend tracks task value, not call frequency, and once an agent wires an endpoint into a working workflow, price sensitivity vanishes.

• •Five endpoints drive 69% of revenue; one text-to-structure endpoint is 42% alone
• •Agents pay for transformation and guaranteed structure, not raw data access
• •Price sensitivity is near-zero once an endpoint is wired into a working workflow
