Question

How do I produce two shoot-ready Shorts scripts a week without watching Shorts for hours?

Answer in 30 seconds

Chain 2 calls: shorts_intelligence ($0.05) → shorts_to_script ($0.02). Price: $0.07 USDC per session (x402, Base eip155:8453). Best for: creators and curator bots feeding short-form calendars.

Copy-paste session


# ShortsLab — Mon + Thu 10:00 UTC, $0.07 each
TOPIC="sneaker drops"
curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/tools/shorts_intelligence \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"search_term\": \"$TOPIC\", \"num_videos\": 8}"
curl -s -X POST https://x402vid.com/tools/shorts_to_script \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"topic\": \"$TOPIC\", \"duration_secs\": 30}"
# Each call: HTTP 402 first, sign, retry with X-PAYMENT header.

Cron lines: 0 10 * * 1 /path/to/shortslab.sh and 0 10 * * 4 /path/to/shortslab.sh.

Cost and txn yield

$0.07 x 8 sessions = $0.56/month for 16 paid txns. Pure-AI second step means fastest turnaround on the menu.

Output contract

Each run saves: 3 hook patterns that earned views, one shoot-ready script (hook + beats + CTA + shot list). Post or queue directly.
