POST /api/x402/scan with a JSON body {"url":"https://…"} and pay per scan with no account via x402 (X-PAYMENT header) or MPP (Authorization: Payment) — $0.02 for up to 25 pages, $0.25 for up to 250, USDC on Base mainnet.

      summary: Start a scan
      description: 'Queues an asynchronous scan and returns a 202 with the scan id. Poll GET /api/v1/scans/{id} until status is ''completed'' or ''failed''.


        Supply an optional `Idempotency-Key` header to make retries safe: the first request runs the scan and any retry carrying the same key replays the original 202 (with `Idempotency-Replayed: true`) instead of starting a duplicate. Reusing a key with a different request body returns 422; a retry that arrives while the first is still in flight returns 409. Keys are retained for 24 hours.'
