API Keys

Keys are issued by the server and stored only as a SHA-256 digest. A free key is shown exactly once and is not recoverable. A paid key can be rotated by proving control of its subscriber wallet; the previous secret is then revoked. This page never generates a key in your browser.

Claim a free key

The free plan is verified by wallet signature and allocated once per wallet. Signing is free and does not create a transaction.

  1. Connect a wallet (MetaMask or any EIP-1193 provider).
  2. Request a challenge from /v1/subscribe/free/challenge.
  3. Sign the challenge; the server issues the key to that wallet.

Inspect or revoke a key

Paste a key to read its metadata from /v1/keys/self. The key is sent in the x-api-key header only. It is stored in this browser's local storage so the inspector and sandbox pages can use it, and is never placed in a URL.

Recover a paid key

Connect the wallet that purchased the paid plan, sign a free recovery challenge, and receive a replacement key. The old key is revoked atomically. Free keys are deliberately not recoverable. For a key purchased before wallet recovery was introduced, include its original payment hash.

Renew an active paid key

Buy a paid plan

Paid plans settle in USDC (or native ETH against a quote frozen when the intent is created) on Base. The checkout page walks the intent → sign → pay → claim flow and returns the key automatically once the transaction has three confirmations.
