name: gateway.stride20k.com
description: gateway.stride20k.com exposes two distinct utilities: a market intelligence feed for the x402 ecosystem (category-level service counts and 7-day deltas) and a web content extractor that converts public HTML pages into clean markdown. These are independent capabilities with no shared data model.
host: gateway.stride20k.com

# gateway.stride20k.com

Stride20k operates as a small-footprint data utility host serving agents that need either structured x402 ecosystem metrics or readable web content. The market feed is sourced from Stride20k's own market collector and reflects the Agentic.Market taxonomy; the web extractor is a general-purpose HTML-to-markdown converter. Neither capability overlaps with the other, and the host does not offer search, trading, inference, or real-time streaming.

## When to use this host

Use fetch-x402-category-breakdown when an agent needs category-level composition and trend data for the x402 ecosystem; do not use it for a free high-level summary (use /v1/market-pulse on the same host instead) or for real-time data, as observations are collected roughly three times per day. Use fetch-web-page-as-markdown when a target URL is already known and clean markdown output is required; do not use it as a substitute for a search API when the URL is unknown, and do not use it for PDFs, images, JSON feeds, or paywalled pages. This host is not suitable for trading, inference, search discovery, or any real-time streaming use case. Agents needing broader web search should route to a dedicated search API host.

## Capabilities

### x402 Ecosystem Intelligence

Provides a structured breakdown of the x402 service catalog by category, including service counts, catalog share percentages, and 7-day growth or contraction deltas. Useful for understanding where supply is concentrating across the agentic services market.

- **`fetch-x402-category-breakdown`** — Returns the current x402 service catalog broken down by category (Data, Inference, Search, Infra, Media, Social, Trading, Travel, etc.) with service counts, catalog share, and 7-day deltas, from the Stride20k market collector.

### Web Content Extraction

Fetches any publicly accessible HTML page and returns its main readable content as clean markdown, along with metadata such as title, author, and canonical URL. Intended for research, summarization, and RAG ingestion pipelines.

- **`fetch-web-page-as-markdown`** — Fetches any public HTML page and returns its readable content as clean markdown, stripping boilerplate and preserving title, author, and canonical URL metadata.

## Workflows

### x402 Category Research with Source Verification

*Use when an agent needs to understand the x402 ecosystem composition and then retrieve additional context from a specific web page referenced in the market data (e.g., a source URL returned in data.source).*

1. **`fetch-x402-category-breakdown`** — Retrieve the current x402 category breakdown, including service counts, deltas, and the source URL for the observation.
2. **`fetch-web-page-as-markdown`** — Fetch the source or reference URL returned in the market data to extract additional human-readable context or documentation about the catalog.

## Skill reference

### `fetch-x402-category-breakdown`

**x402 Category Breakdown** — Returns the current x402 service catalog broken down by category (Data, Inference, Search, Infra, Media, Social, Trading, Travel, etc.) with service counts, catalog share, and 7-day deltas, from the Stride20k market collector.

*Use when:* Use when an agent needs to understand the current composition of the x402 ecosystem by category, identify which categories are growing or shrinking over 7 days, or report on where x402 supply is concentrating across the Agentic.Market taxonomy.

*Not for:* Do not use for a free high-level market snapshot; use /v1/market-pulse instead. Not suitable for real-time data — observations are collected ~3x/day and cached up to 30 minutes.

**Returns:** Returns ok=true with a data object containing totalServices (1979), an observedAt timestamp, and a categories array listing each Agentic.Market taxonomy category with its service count, catalog share, and 7-day delta.

**Example:** `GET https://gateway.stride20k.com/v1/category-breakdown`

### `fetch-web-page-as-markdown`

**Stride Web Extract** — Fetches any public HTML page and returns its readable content as clean markdown, stripping boilerplate and preserving title, author, and canonical URL metadata.

*Use when:* Use when an agent needs to extract readable text from a public web page for research, summarization, or RAG ingestion — particularly when clean markdown output with metadata (title, author, canonical URL) is required.

*Not for:* Do not use for non-HTML content (PDFs, images, APIs, JSON feeds), pages blocked by robots.txt, private/internal URLs, or real-time streaming content. Not a substitute for a search API when the target URL is unknown.

**Inputs:**

- `url` (string, required) — Absolute http(s) URL of the public HTML page to extract. Must match pattern https?://.+

**Returns:** Returns ok=true with a data object containing the page title, finalUrl, markdown of readable content (131 chars for example.com), truncated flag, charCount, and meta with source, cached status, and fetchedAt timestamp.

**Example:** `GET https://gateway.stride20k.com/web/extract?url=https://example.com/`
