agriculture.stats

USDA NASS QuickStats — authoritative US agricultural statistics: crop yields, acreage, production, livestock inventory, and prices received. Filter by commodity (e.g. CORN, SOYBEANS, CATTLE), year (or year__GE/year__LE range), state (2-letter), county, statistic category (YIELD, PRODUCTION, AREA HARVESTED, PRICE RECEIVED), and aggregation level (NATIONAL/STATE/COUNTY). Returns normalized rows with value + unit. QuickStats caps results at 50,000 rows, so narrow broad queries (a 400 RESULT_TOO_LARGE tells you to add filters). Public-domain federal data.

Overview

The stats API is a pay-per-call agriculture endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. USDA NASS QuickStats — authoritative US agricultural statistics: crop yields, acreage, production, livestock inventory, and prices received.

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in stats data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs agriculture data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the stats API?
No. agriculture.stats is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.
How much does the stats API cost?
$0.0010 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.
Can I try the stats API for free first?
Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.
Which networks and tokens are supported?
USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.
How do I call agriculture.stats from an AI agent or MCP host?
Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
