Anchor Browser adds x402 payments through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments
Overview
Anchor Browser and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments let AI agents pay for web pages and APIs that return HTTP 402 Payment Required under the x402 protocol, according to an AWS Machine Learning Blog post.
AWS and Anchor Browser say wallet keys stay out of the agent runtime and that AgentCore payments enforces spending limits. Developers turn the feature on by setting session.x402 to true when creating an Anchor Browser session.
A separate Anchor Browser description says third-party x402 charges settle in credits on the same invoice as browser session time.
