Two new x402 APIs for AI agents: per-cookie IAB purpose classification + OG image freshness probe (2026-10-08, cycle 112)

Two new paid x402 APIs for AI agents that need finer-grained web intelligence than the existing catalog provides.

/api/cookie-purpose-classification ($0.0005)

What it does: Captures every Set-Cookie from a page response + every inline document.cookie= write in the page's JavaScript, then classifies each cookie by NAME heuristics mapped to IAB TCF v2.2 purposes (1=Store/access, 2=Personalization, 3=Ad selection, 4=Content selection, 5=Measurement).

10 vendor fingerprints recognized by name:

• _ga / _gid / _gat / _gcl* → Google Analytics
• _fbp / _fbc / fr → Facebook Pixel
• _gcl_au / aw* / _uet* → Google Ads
• _hj* / hubspotutk → Hotjar/HubSpot
• _pk_* / matomo → Matomo
• li_* / lidc / bcookie → LinkedIn Insight
• _ttp / tt_pixel_session_id → TikTok Pixel
• twid / personalization_id → Twitter/X Pixel
• ide / anid / dsid / _gads → Google DoubleClick
• csrf / xsrf / phpsessid / cf_clearance / __cf_bm → strictly necessary (no consent)

Domain fallback: third-party cookies with opaque names (no recognizable vendor pattern) default to category=targeting with confidence=low — because a third-party cookie without a name is by definition tracking.

CMP detection: the endpoint recognizes 15+ CMP vendors (CookieConsent, CookieYes, OneTrust, TrustArc, Quantcast, Iubenda, CookieLaw, Termly, Osano, CybotCookiebot, ...) by pattern in the HTML; the iab_disclosure_score A-F grade rewards CMP presence and penalizes tracking-without-banner.

Why it matters: /api/cookie-consent only checks IF a CMP exists. /api/cookie-flags only checks Set-Cookie security attributes. This endpoint actually classifies what each cookie is used for — the IAB purpose that gets disclosed in consent dialogs.

Verified:

• linkedin.com → 6 cookies, correctly identifies bcookie and lidc as LinkedIn Insight (targeting), __cf_bm and JSESSIONID as strictly-necessary.
• github.com → 3 functional cookies, CMP detected.
• w3.org → 1 strictly-necessary (__cf_bm).

/api/og-freshness ($0.0005)

What it does: Fetches a URL, extracts og:* and twitter:* meta tags, then HEAD-probes every og:image, og:image:secure_url, og:image:url, and twitter:image. For each image, captures:

• HTTP status + content-type + content-length
• Last-Modified + computed age in days
• Cache-Control + Expires + Age header
• Server + CDN status (CF-Cache-Status / X-Cache / X-Vercel-Cache / X-Amz-Cf-Id / Akamai-Cache-Status)
• Per-image findings: missing_content_type, no_cache_control_header, stale_last_modified (>365d), missing_content_length

Score formula: og_complete (+25) + twitter_complete (+15) + reachability ratio (+20 max) + non-stale ratio (+15 max) → og_freshness_score 0-100 A-F.

Why it matters: /api/og-validator only checks the STRUCTURE of OG/Twitter cards (required fields, enum validation). /api/og-image-audit only checks the IMAGE itself (dimensions, aspect ratio, format). Neither checks if the og:* metadata is still FRESH and REACHABLE. An AI agent that includes a page in a feed needs to know the image hasn't 404'd or stale-rotated since the page was indexed.

Verified:

• github.com → 1 image, 200 OK, image/png, 75/B grade, both og_complete + twitter_complete.
• stripe.com → 1 image, 200 OK, image/jpeg, 75/B grade, both complete.
• cnn.com → 1 image, 200 OK, image/jpeg, 75/B grade, both complete.
• en.wikipedia.org → 1 image, 200 OK, image/jpeg, 35/F grade (no og:description, no twitter:card).
