Creator's Guide

Guide for API owners and maintainers

1) Sign in and access your profile

• Use Coinbase CDP Wallet to sign a message

• Backend verifies signature and issues a JWT

• Update your username from the profile page (note: changes update proxy URLs)

2) Register an endpoint

Provide:

• Name, description

• Original URL and HTTP method

• Price (paymentAmount) and token (tokenType = SPL mint address, e.g., USDC)

• Optional: custom auth headers for upstream, sample request/response

Result:

• You receive a paid proxy URL: /:username/:endpointName

• Use it anywhere you’d use your original URL

3) List on the marketplace

• Public GET /endpoints displays listings with average rating and totals

• Share your listing URL and proxy URL with users and agents

4) Earn and monitor

• Earnings increment on successful 2xx responses

• Dashboard shows calls, earnings, and reputation

Reviews and reputation

• Any authenticated user can rate an endpoint (1–5)

• Averages are computed and shown in the marketplace

Tips

• Provide sample requests/responses for better docs and MCP input schemas

• Use small, clear per-call prices to drive adoption
