Question

How do I launch a new YouTube channel from a single topic — validated angle, script, plan, teaser, thumbnail — in one session?

Answer in 30 seconds

Chain 2 calls: channel_launch_kit ($1.00) → thumbnail_creation ($0.50) with the kit's image prompt. Price: $1.50 USDC one-off (x402, Base eip155:8453). Best for: new creators starting from zero videos. Slow calls — allow up to 5 minutes.

Copy-paste session


# LaunchPad — run once per new channel, $1.50
curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/tools/channel_launch_kit \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"topic": "budget sneaker collecting", "duration_mins": 10}'
# Take image_prompt from the kit output, then:
curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/tools/thumbnail_creation \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"image_prompt": "KIT_IMAGE_PROMPT_HERE"}'
# Each call: HTTP 402 first, sign, retry with X-PAYMENT header.
# Filter rejections on the render are never charged.

Cost and txn yield

$1.50 one-off for 2 paid txns. Run per channel launch or per series reboot — not a cron, a milestone.

Output contract

One run saves: validated angle, teleprompter script with chapters, videos 2-5 cluster, teaser, thumbnail spec + signed render URL. Launch with a library, not one orphan video.
