# Image Provenance Intent

Give an image URL, get visual matches and pages hosting the exact image.

- endpoint: `GET https://marketplaceforaiagents.com/api/public/v1/image-provenance`
- category: intents
- price: $0.005 USDC per call (5000 atomic, 6 decimals)
- free tier: 3 calls per agent identity, shared across all endpoints (unknown/generic clients draw from a site-wide 100 successful free calls per UTC day; crawlers get none)
- settlement: USDC on Base mainnet `0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913`, payee `0x05e82e03753c7bc99fb24d10a876cce53f24b7b7`, scheme `exact`
- sandbox: append `?network=base-sepolia` for testnet USDC + mock data
- results key: `results`
- html: https://marketplaceforaiagents.com/listings/image-provenance

## What it returns

Two reverse-image passes on one image URL: Google Lens visual matches and Google exact matches, so a verification agent sees both similarity and provenance.

## Use cases

- Misinformation and provenance checks
- Copyright and reuse tracing
- Identify a product from a photo

2. After that the response is `402` with an `accepts[]` requirement.
3. Sign the EIP-3009 USDC authorization, base64 the x402 payload, resend as `X-PAYMENT`.
4. Settlement receipt returns in the `X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE` header.
