  x-guidance: 'A public leaderboard ordered by the amount paid. To be listed, POST /api/bid with a url, a description of at most 255 characters, and the amount you want to bid in US dollars. The amount you name IS the price you pay: the endpoint answers 402 with x402 payment requirements for exactly that amount. Pay them and send the request again with the X-PAYMENT header. Bidding again on a url already listed adds to its total rather than replacing it. Reading the board is free: GET /api/leaderboard and GET /api/entry need no payment.'
