xpay scored You.com API 8 / 100 on its Agent-Ready SaaS Index, which places it in the Not Agent-Ready Yet band. The api.you.com/plans pricing page returned an HTTP 502 at scrape time, so xpay could not directly verify visible per-request rates; public docs at documentation.you.com confirm the existence of a Smart and Research API with self-serve key issuance. A human should re-verify the live page once the origin server returns 200. For the full 6-step purchase simulation and the one-line fix that would lift this listing into the next band, see the linked scorecard.
