Call it with x402

A paid HTTP API. An unpaid request answers 402 Payment Required with the price and payment details (in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header or the body); an x402 client signs a USDC payment and resends with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE (x402 v2) or X-PAYMENT (v1). No account or API key. Prices and limits are set by its operator.

See the price (free, unpaid)

curl -i https://fronterasignal.com/api/v1/materials

Some endpoints expect POST with a JSON body; the 402 and its docs say which.
