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
