REST API Reference
September 22, 2026 · View on GitHub
This is the reference for the three.ws HTTP API: every documented endpoint, its parameters, and its response shape. Anyone can call the free endpoints with plain curl (no account needed); authenticated endpoints take an API key from the Dashboard or a browser session. If you are new, skim the Overview below, then jump to the section for the surface you are building on.
Base URL: https://three.ws/api
For the in-browser JavaScript API (the
<agent-3d>element,Viewer,Runtime,SceneController, skills, memory), see js-api.md and web-component.md. For the high-level npm SDK, see sdk.md.
The full machine-readable schema lives at https://three.ws/.well-known/openapi.yaml. x402 paid endpoints are listed at /.well-known/x402.json and the MCP endpoint is at /api/mcp.
Overview
Authentication
Most write endpoints and all user-specific reads require authentication. Pass an API key as a Bearer token or rely on a session cookie from the web UI.
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxxxx
Session cookies (set after SIWE or Privy login) are accepted on all endpoints that support Bearer auth.
Response format
All responses are JSON. Successful responses return the resource or a result object. Errors return a machine-readable code plus a human-readable description:
{
"error": "validation_error",
"error_description": "Message describing what went wrong"
}
Some endpoints add extra fields (e.g. retry_after on rate limits). Error responses are never cached.
Rate limits
| Tier | Limit |
|---|---|
| Authenticated | 100 req/min |
| Unauthenticated | 20 req/min |
Rate-limited responses return HTTP 429 with { "error": "...", "code": "RATE_LIMITED" }.
Solana Transaction Inspection API
Atomic is a public, read-only inspector for legacy, V0, and V1 Solana transactions. It never signs, simulates, or broadcasts. See the Atomic guide for the V1 resource model and sponsor-safety rules.
Read V1 activation status
GET /api/solana/atomic
Returns Solana mainnet's current confirmed slot, the Transaction V1 activation slot, and the legacy and V1 wire limits. The response is cached for 15 seconds.
{
"status": {
"cluster": "mainnet-beta",
"feature": "txv1",
"featureAddress": "txv1aq4pp281K9um3tnPgkfX8UqtFT6wcVW3hNezGLL",
"active": true,
"activationSlot": 447120000,
"currentSlot": 447120123,
"legacyLimitBytes": 1232,
"v1LimitBytes": 4096
}
}
Inspect a confirmed mainnet transaction
GET /api/solana/atomic?signature=<base58-signature>
The RPC read opts into transaction version 1. The response includes exact signed-wire utilization, transaction structure, normalized resource limits, sponsor safety, confirmation status, fee, and actual compute use when Solana supplies it. Confirmed inspections are cached for one hour.
Inspect signed wire bytes offline
POST /api/solana/atomic
Content-Type: application/json
{ "transaction": "BASE64_SIGNED_TRANSACTION" }
The body may be at most 16 KiB. The transaction is decoded locally and is not sent to an RPC. The inspection shape is the same as the signature path except that confirmation and explorer fields are absent.
{
"inspection": {
"version": 1,
"versionLabel": "V1",
"wireDiscriminator": "0x81",
"bytes": 1036,
"limitBytes": 4096,
"headroomBytes": 3060,
"utilizationPct": 25.3,
"largerThanLegacyLimit": false,
"signatureCount": 1,
"requiredSignatureCount": 1,
"feePayer": "SOLANA_ADDRESS",
"staticAccountCount": 4,
"instructionCount": 1,
"budget": {
"source": "transaction-config",
"computeUnitLimit": 5480,
"loadedAccountsDataSizeLimit": 393216,
"heapSize": null,
"priorityFeeLamports": 2740,
"explicit": {
"computeUnitLimit": true,
"loadedAccountsDataSizeLimit": true,
"heapSize": false,
"priorityFee": true
}
},
"sponsor": {
"verdict": "caps-explicit",
"safeToCosign": true,
"notes": ["Read caps from transactionConfig. Compute Budget instruction scans do not bind V1 transactions."]
}
}
}
Errors use invalid_signature, invalid_transaction, not_found, rate_limited, or upstream_error.
The endpoint allows cross-origin GET and POST requests and requires no authentication.
Asset Catalog API
One search across every ready-made asset three.ws publishes: the CC0 object/prop library, the ready-made character library, and the motion-clip library. No authentication, no API key, no payment. Open CORS, cached at the edge for 5 minutes.
The same join and the same code generation back the free MCP tools (search_catalog, get_catalog_item, get_item_source) and the @three-ws/assets CLI, so all three surfaces answer identically.
Search the catalog
GET /api/catalog?q=wooden+chair&kind=object&limit=12&offset=0
| Parameter | Notes |
|---|---|
q | Free text over titles, names, tags, and categories |
kind | object, character, or animation |
category | Exact category, from a previous response's facets.categories |
tag | Exact tag, from facets.tags |
limit | 1 to 50 (default 12) |
offset | Page offset; use next_offset from the previous response |
Every word of q must match somewhere, which keeps a two-word query precise. If nothing matches all of them, the search retries on any of them and sets relaxed: true, so a phrase never dead-ends silently.
Response
{
"ok": true,
"items": [
{
"id": "object:painted_wooden_chair_01",
"kind": "object",
"name": "painted_wooden_chair_01",
"title": "Painted Wooden Chair 01",
"categories": ["furniture", "seating"],
"tags": ["chair", "wood", "painted"],
"license": "CC0",
"format": "glb",
"url": "https://three.ws/cdn/objects/polyhaven/glb/painted_wooden_chair_01.glb",
"thumb": "https://three.ws/cdn/objects/polyhaven/thumbs/painted_wooden_chair_01.png",
"bytes": 491572
}
],
"matched": 10,
"relaxed": false,
"total": 3492,
"offset": 0,
"next_offset": 12,
"facets": {
"kinds": { "object": 10 },
"categories": [{ "value": "furniture", "count": 8 }],
"tags": [{ "value": "chair", "count": 6 }]
},
"generated_at": { "object": "2026-07-21T13:16:14.305Z" }
}
total is the whole catalog; matched is how many the query hit. A character adds rigged, skins, baked_animations, and source; a motion clip adds duration_seconds, loop, and format: "three-animation-clip-json".
Errors: 400 validation_error for an unknown kind or a non-integer/out-of-range limit or offset, validated before any storage read.
Get one item with its source
GET /api/catalog?id=object:painted_wooden_chair_01
Returns the item, the site links that browse/preview/edit it, up to six related items of the same kind, and paste-ready source in every framework that applies.
Response
{
"ok": true,
"item": { "id": "object:painted_wooden_chair_01", "kind": "object" },
"links": {
"browse": "https://three.ws/objects",
"preview": "https://three.ws/app#model=...&kind=object",
"ar": "https://three.ws/ar/studio?src=...",
"download": "https://three.ws/cdn/objects/..."
},
"related": [{ "id": "object:bar_chair_round_01", "title": "Bar Chair Round 01" }],
"frameworks": ["model-viewer", "three", "agent-3d", "react"],
"snippets": {
"model-viewer": {
"language": "html",
"code": "<model-viewer src=\"https://three.ws/cdn/...\" ...></model-viewer>",
"notes": ["This is the exact renderer and build the three.ws browse grids use."]
}
}
}
frameworks[0] is the recommended one for that kind: model-viewer for a prop, agent-3d for a rigged character, three for a motion clip. The agent-3d snippet is pinned to the exact published component version with its Subresource Integrity hash, never latest.
A bare name (painted_wooden_chair_01) also resolves. An unknown id returns 404 not_found with a hint naming the search call to make instead.
From the command line
npx @three-ws/assets search wooden chair --kind object
npx @three-ws/assets add object:painted_wooden_chair_01
add downloads the asset into public/three-ws/ and prints the snippet rewritten to point at the local copy. See packages/assets-cli/README.md.
Agents API
List agents
GET /api/agents
Returns all of the authenticated user's agents (oldest first, no pagination). Requires auth.
Response
{
"agents": [
{
"id": "abc123",
"name": "Aria",
"description": "Product guide",
"avatar_url": "https://three.ws/avatars/default.glb",
"thumbnail_url": "https://three.ws/avatars/thumbs/default.png",
"creator_address": "0xabc...",
"created_at": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
"chain_id": 8453,
"chain_agent_id": 42
}
]
}
Note: encrypted_wallet_key is always stripped from agent responses.
Get my default agent
GET /api/agents/me
Returns the authenticated user's default agent, creating one automatically if none exists. Requires auth.
Response: Single agent object (same shape as list item above).
Get agent by ID
GET /api/agents/:id
Response: Single agent object. Returns 404 AGENT_NOT_FOUND if not found.
Create agent
POST /api/agents
Requires auth.
Request body
{
"name": "Aria",
"description": "Product guide",
"manifest": {}
}
Response (201)
{
"agent": { "id": "new-agent-id", "name": "Aria" }
}
Update agent
PUT /api/agents/:id
PATCH /api/agents/:id
Requires auth. Owner only.
Request body: Partial agent object. Any combination of name, description, manifest, or animation entries.
Animation entries are validated — each must include name (string) and url (string). Returns 400 INVALID_INPUT if validation fails.
Response: Updated agent object.
Delete agent
DELETE /api/agents/:id
Requires auth. Owner only. Soft-deletes the agent on the platform. Does not affect any on-chain registration.
Response: { "ok": true }
Signed manifest
GET /api/agents/:id/manifest/signed
GET /api/agents/:id/manifest/history
POST /api/agents/:id/manifest/publish
GET /api/manifest-verify?cid=<cid>
The agent's full configuration, system prompt included, canonicalized, ed25519-signed by the platform attester identity, and pinned to IPFS. Published automatically on every persona save. The first three reads are public and CORS-open; publish is owner-only.
GET /manifest/signed response
{
"agent_id": "b2b1...",
"cid": "bafy...",
"pinned": true,
"digest": "3f9c...",
"issuer": "6Yb...",
"signed_at": "2026-08-11T12:00:00.000Z",
"verified": true,
"gatewayUrls": ["https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafy..."],
"verifyUrl": "/api/manifest-verify?cid=bafy...",
"envelope": { "spec": "threews.agent.manifest.v1", "manifest": {} }
}
Returns 404 not_published when the agent has never published a manifest.
GET /api/manifest-verify fetches the envelope from public IPFS gateways (not from our database), verifies the signature, and diffs the pinned manifest against the agent's live configuration. Accepts cid, digest, or agent. verified is true only when the signature checks out and the issuer is the platform identity; signature_valid and issuer_trusted are reported separately so an envelope signed by an unknown key can never read as ours. drift.changed names every field that moved since the pin.
Verify it yourself, with no account:
node scripts/verify-agent-manifest.mjs --cid bafy...
Full reference: Agent Manifest. Wire format: specs/AGENT_MANIFEST.md.
Link wallet to agent
POST /api/agents/:id/wallet
Requires auth. Owner only. Links an Ethereum wallet to the agent for signing actions.
Request body
{
"address": "0xabc...",
"signature": "0x..."
}
Response: { "ok": true }
Unlink wallet from agent
DELETE /api/agents/:id/wallet
Requires auth. Owner only.
Response: { "ok": true }
Get agents by Ethereum address
GET /api/agents/by-address/:address
Returns all agents owned by the given Ethereum address. No auth required.
Response: Array of agent objects.
Resolve agent by ENS name
GET /api/agents/ens/:name
Resolves an agent by ENS name (e.g., myagent.eth). No auth required.
Response: Single agent object.
Widgets API
List widgets
GET /api/widgets
Requires auth (session cookie, or bearer token with avatars:read). Returns the authenticated user's widgets, newest-updated first (up to 500), including joined avatar data.
Response
{
"widgets": [
{
"id": "wdgt_abc123def456",
"avatar_id": "a1b2c3d4-...",
"type": "turntable",
"name": "Product Hero",
"config": { "rotationSpeed": 0.5, "background": "#0a0a0a" },
"is_public": true,
"view_count": 42,
"created_at": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
"updated_at": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
"avatar": {}
}
]
}
Get widget by ID
GET /api/widgets/:id
Public widgets are readable by anyone. Private widgets require auth and ownership. Increments view counter (owner views excluded). Demo widget IDs return fixture data with aggressive cache headers.
Response: Single widget object.
Create widget
POST /api/widgets
Requires auth. Bearer token must have avatars:write scope.
Supported widget types: turntable, animation-gallery, talking-agent, passport, hotspot-tour, plus the additional live types in the Widget Studio type grid (pump.fun feeds, bonding curve, walking avatar, and more).
Request body
{
"name": "Product Hero",
"type": "turntable",
"avatar_id": "a1b2c3d4-...",
"config": {
"rotationSpeed": 0.5,
"background": "#0a0a0a"
},
"is_public": true
}
name is required; avatar_id is optional (must be an avatar you own, or a public one); config is validated against the type's schema (src/widget-types.js); is_public defaults to true.
Response (201)
{
"widget": {
"id": "wdgt_abc123def456",
"type": "turntable",
"name": "Product Hero",
"config": {},
"is_public": true
}
}
Widget IDs use the format wdgt_ + 12 random base64url characters. The embed URL for a widget is https://three.ws/widget#widget=<id>&kiosk=true.
Update widget
PATCH /api/widgets/:id
Requires auth. Owner only. Accepts partial updates to name, config, is_public, avatar_id, or type.
Response: Updated widget object.
Delete widget
DELETE /api/widgets/:id
Requires auth. Owner only. Soft-deletes via deleted_at timestamp.
Response: { "ok": true }
Duplicate widget
POST /api/widgets/:id/duplicate
Requires auth. Owner only; bearer tokens need avatars:write. Clones the widget's type, name, config, avatar, and visibility into a new row with a freshly minted wdgt_ id and (copy) appended to the name (truncated to 120 characters). Cookie-session callers must send X-CSRF-Token; bearer callers are exempt.
Response (201): the new widget object, same shape as create.
Widget stats
GET /api/widgets/:id/stats
Requires auth. Owner only; bearer tokens need avatars:read. Returns the analytics envelope behind the dashboard's widget card: lifetime view_count, last_viewed_at, an 8-day zero-filled recent_views_7d sparkline, and the top five top_referers / top_countries.
Talking-agent widgets additionally get chat_count, an 8-day recent_chats_7d sparkline of visitor messages, top_questions (visitor messages clustered by normalized prefix), knowledge (doc_count / chunk_count / token_count), and sessions_7d (thread_count, avg_seconds, total_messages). Those five fields are null for every other type. Response is cached private, max-age=30.
Widget chat
POST /api/widgets/:id/chat
Talking-agent widgets only. Public widgets accept anonymous visitors; a private widget answers 404 to anyone but its owner. Rate limited per (IP, widget) at the owner's config.visitorRateLimit.msgsPerMinute (default 8); the owner's own preview is exempt.
Request body: { message, history?, provider?, model?, visitor_id?, thread_id? }. message is 1 to 4000 characters, history is up to 40 { role, content } turns, and visitor_id / thread_id are opaque client-minted ids (8 to 64 url-safe characters) used to group transcripts. provider / model are honoured only when the owner left the brain on auto or a named provider; an owner who pinned none or custom cannot be overridden by a visitor.
Response: an SSE stream (text/event-stream) with an event: message frame carrying { reply, actions }, then event: done. Upstream trouble sends event: error instead. actions only ever contains skills the owner enabled (wave, lookAt, playClip, remember). Validation failures answer with an ordinary JSON 400 before the stream opens.
Every turn on a real widget is persisted to its transcript with PII redacted; the public gallery's demo fixtures are stateless and keep no transcript. Replies the platform generated itself (no provider configured, or the whole failover chain refused) are stored with no provider or model attribution.
Widget transcripts
GET /api/widgets/:id/transcripts
GET /api/widgets/:id/transcripts?thread_id=<id>
GET /api/widgets/:id/transcripts?format=csv
Requires auth. Owner only; bearer tokens need avatars:read. The list form returns { threads, next_cursor, totals }, newest thread first, limit 1 to 100 (default 25) with keyset pagination through before=<ISO timestamp>. Passing thread_id returns { thread, messages } for one conversation, or 404 if that thread is not on this widget. format=csv downloads up to 5000 messages as an attachment for spreadsheet review.
Widget knowledge base
GET /api/widgets/:id/knowledge
GET /api/widgets/:id/knowledge?test=<query>&top_k=<n>
POST /api/widgets/:id/knowledge
DELETE /api/widgets/:id/knowledge?doc_id=<id>
Requires auth. Owner only; bearer tokens need avatars:read for GET and avatars:write for the rest.
GET lists the widget's docs with status (queued, processing, ready, failed), chunk and token counts. Adding test= runs the retrieval debugger: it embeds the probe query and returns the top-K matching chunks with cosine scores, so you can confirm a doc is reachable without spending a chat turn.
POST ingests one document (talking-agent widgets only, 25 docs per widget). Body is one of { source_type: "url", source_url }, or { source_type: "text" | "markdown" | "pdf", content, title }. URLs are fetched and stripped to text server-side; PDFs are extracted in the browser and posted as text. Small docs embed inline and come back ready; large ones return queued and finish on the background worker.
DELETE removes one doc and its chunks by doc_id.
The knowledge routes need an embedding provider on the server (NVIDIA_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY); without one they answer 503 embedder_unavailable rather than guessing.
Open Graph share card
GET /api/widgets/og?id=wdgt_abc123def456
GET /api/widgets/:id/og
``$
\text{Returns} \text{the} \text{widget}'\text{s} 1200 \times 630 \text{share}-\text{card} \text{image} ($image/svg+xml`), used as the `og:image` by social preview scrapers (Slack, Discord, X) and as the auto poster for `embed.js`. Both URL forms serve the same card. No auth required.
---
### oEmbed
GET /api/widgets/oembed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthree.ws%2Fw%2Fwdgt_abc123
oEmbed endpoint for rich embeds in Notion, Substack, and other oEmbed-compatible platforms. Accepted `url` forms: `/w/<id>` (canonical), `/widget#widget=<id>`, and the legacy `/app#widget=<id>` and `/#widget=<id>`. No auth required.
**Response:** oEmbed JSON with `type`, `html`, `width`, `height`, `title`, `provider_name`.
---
## Agent Actions API
### List agent actions
GET /api/agent-actions
**Query parameters**
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| ---------- | ------- | ---------------------------- |
| `agent_id` | string | Required. Filter by agent ID |
| `limit` | integer | Max results (default: 20) |
| `cursor` | string | Cursor for keyset pagination |
**Response**
```json
{
"actions": [
{
"id": "act_xyz",
"agent_id": "abc123",
"type": "speak",
"payload": { "text": "Hello, welcome!" },
"source_skill": "greeting",
"signature": "0x...",
"signer_address": "0xabc...",
"created_at": "2025-01-15T10:05:00Z"
}
],
"cursor": "2025-01-14T10:05:00Z"
}
Log agent action
POST /api/agent-actions
Append-only. Actions are never deleted. Optionally include an ERC-191 signature for on-chain verifiability.
Request body
{
"agent_id": "abc123",
"type": "speak",
"payload": { "text": "Hello, welcome!" },
"source_skill": "greeting",
"signature": "0x...",
"signer_address": "0xabc..."
}
Response: { "ok": true } (non-blocking, best-effort)
Batch recent activity for many agents
GET /api/agents/activity?ids=<id>,<id>,...
POST /api/agents/activity { "ids": ["<id>", "<id>"] }
Recent activity for a list of agents in one round-trip, plus which of them currently have a live screen caster pushing frames. Built for grids: a wall of agent cards would otherwise need one request (or one SSE stream) per card, and a browser only allows a handful of concurrent connections per origin.
Public read, no auth. Up to 60 ids per call; anything that is not a UUID is
dropped, and unknown ids are simply absent from activity. Each agent returns
its 24 most recent actions, oldest-first, in the same entry shape the log
event of the per-agent SSE stream (GET /api/agent-screen-stream?agentId=<id>)
emits, so one renderer handles both.
Query / body parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
ids | string[] | Required. Agent IDs. Comma-separated on GET, an array on POST |
Response
{
"activity": {
"abc123": [
{ "ts": 1786573115539, "activity": "Launched $THREE", "type": "pumpfun.launch" },
{ "ts": 1786573802902, "activity": "Defended floor at 0.51 SOL", "type": "mm_defend",
"mm": { "type": "mm_defend", "floorSol": 0.5, "priceSol": 0.51, "sizeSol": 2,
"sideBuy": true, "simulate": false, "signature": null, "mint": null } }
]
},
"casting": ["abc123"]
}
casting lists the subset of the requested ids whose screen frame is still live
in the frame store. A client typically renders every agent's activity straight
away and opens a real SSE stream only for the ids in casting.
Example
curl -s "https://three.ws/api/agents/activity?ids=$AGENT_A,$AGENT_B" \
| jq '{casting, counts: (.activity | map_values(length))}'
Agent Memory API
Fetch agent memory
GET /api/agent-memory
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
agentId | string | Required. The agent's ID |
type | string | Filter by memory type: user, feedback, project, reference |
since | string | ISO 8601 timestamp — return only memories updated after this time |
limit | integer | Max results (default: 50) |
Response
{
"memories": [
{
"id": "mem_abc",
"agent_id": "abc123",
"type": "user",
"content": "User prefers concise answers.",
"salience": 0.8,
"expires_at": null,
"client_id": "local-uuid-123",
"created_at": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
"updated_at": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}
]
}
Upsert memory entry
POST /api/agent-memory
Idempotent — uses client_id as a conflict key. If a memory with the same client_id already exists for this user, it is updated rather than duplicated. Users cannot overwrite another user's memory that shares the same client_id.
Request body
{
"agent_id": "abc123",
"type": "feedback",
"content": "Stop summarizing at end of responses.",
"salience": 0.9,
"expires_at": null,
"client_id": "local-uuid-456"
}
Valid types: user, feedback, project, reference
Response: { "id": "mem_xyz", "ok": true }
Delete memory entry
DELETE /api/agent-memory/:id
Requires auth. Deletes a single memory by its platform ID.
Response: { "ok": true }
Memory seed connectors API
Public-footprint readers that turn an account handle into the raw material for a
memory seed, plus the synthesizer that writes the seed itself. This is the lane
behind /demos/memory-seed and the seed
widget in src/memory-seed.js.
Everything these endpoints read is already public. They are read-only, request
no OAuth from the visitor, and store nothing; the consent-gated seeding flows
that do write to an agent live at /api/agents/:id/memory/seed/* and are
documented in GitHub, X
and Farcaster memory seeding.
The three connectors are unauthenticated GETs, rate limited per IP, and cached
at the edge for 5 minutes. A connector that cannot reach its upstream answers
200 with { "ok": false, "reason", "detail" } so a partly-configured
deployment degrades to a greyed-out card instead of a failed page; a bad handle
is still a 4xx.
GitHub footprint
GET /api/seed/github?handle=<user>
No credentials required. GITHUB_TOKEN is used when present, purely for the
higher rate limit.
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/seed/github?handle=nirholas'
{
"ok": true,
"handle": "nirholas",
"name": "nich",
"bio": "",
"followers": 617,
"public_repos": 223,
"top_repos": [
{
"name": "fresh-start",
"description": "The original repo, restored.",
"stars": 6250,
"language": null,
"html_url": "https://github.com/nirholas/fresh-start"
}
],
"top_readme_excerpt": "# fresh-start"
}
Errors: 400 invalid_request (no handle), 400 invalid_handle (illegal
characters), 404 not_found (no such user), 502 upstream_error.
Farcaster footprint
GET /api/seed/farcaster?handle=<fname-or-fid>
No credentials required. Reads through the platform's shared Farcaster client,
which prefers Neynar when NEYNAR_API_KEY is set and otherwise falls back to a
public Farcaster hub over HTTP (FARCASTER_HUB_URL, default
https://hub.pinata.cloud).
lane names the rung that answered. The hub serves raw protocol messages and
therefore has no reaction counts, so follower_count, following_count and
per-cast engagement are null on that lane rather than 0. Casts are ranked
by engagement where the lane knows it and by recency where it does not, with
replies, link-only posts and duplicates dropped.
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/seed/farcaster?handle=dwr'
{
"ok": true,
"lane": "hub",
"handle": "dwr",
"fid": 3,
"display_name": "Dan Romero",
"bio": "Working on Farcaster",
"follower_count": null,
"recent_casts": [
{
"text": "Best store-bought eggnog available on the west coast",
"timestamp": "2025-11-28T01:35:34.000Z",
"engagement": null
}
]
}
Errors: 400 invalid_request, 400 invalid_handle, 404 not_found. A hub
answers an unknown fname with 400 and a NotFound detail; that is normalised
to a 404 here so a typo cannot read as an outage.
X footprint
GET /api/seed/x?handle=<user>
X has no keyless public read lane, so this connector needs one of two credential
sets and reports ok: false without either:
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN, an app-only bearer from the developer portal.X_API_KEY+X_API_SECRET, the OAuth 1.0a consumer pair. The handler exchanges them for an app-only bearer at runtime viaappLogin(), so a deployment that already holds the changelog poster's app credentials needs nothing new provisioned.

Synthesize a memory seed
POST /api/seed/synthesize
Requires auth (session cookie or bearer token). Takes any subset of the three
connector payloads verbatim and returns a 200-300 word markdown memory seed. The
completion runs on the platform LLM chain (api/_lib/llm.js), which leads with
free and keyless providers, so no provider key is required.
Request body
{
"connectors": {
"github": { "ok": true, "handle": "nirholas", "top_repos": [] },
"x": { "ok": true, "handle": "jack" },
"farcaster": { "ok": true, "handle": "dwr", "fid": 3 }
}
}
Connector payloads carrying ok: false are ignored. At least one usable payload
is required.

Errors: 401 unauthorized, 400 validation_error (unknown key, or no connector
supplied), 400 no_signal (every payload unusable), 429 daily_spend_cap_exceeded, 502 upstream_error, 503 llm_unavailable.
Chat / LLM API
Agent chat
POST /api/chat
Send a message to an agent's LLM runtime. Proxied through the platform for auth and rate limiting. Requires auth.
Request body
{
"agent_id": "abc123",
"messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "What animations do you have?" }],
"context": {
"model_name": "avatar.glb",
"animations": ["wave", "idle", "dance"],
"settings": {}
}
}
The context object is included in the system prompt so the model knows what's loaded in the viewer.
Available action tools
The LLM can invoke these viewer actions in its response:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
setWireframe | Toggle wireframe mode |
setSkeleton | Toggle skeleton overlay |
setGrid | Toggle ground grid |
setAutoRotate | Start/stop auto-rotation |
setBgColor | Set background color |
setTransparentBg | Toggle transparent background |
setEnvironment | Set environment map |
takeScreenshot | Capture viewport screenshot |
loadModel | Load a different model URL |
runValidation | Run glTF validation |
showMaterialEditor | Open material editor UI |
Response (streaming SSE)
data: {"type": "content", "text": "I have three animations..."}
data: {"type": "tool_call", "name": "play_clip", "args": {"name": "wave"}}
data: {"type": "done"}
Usage events (token counts, latency, triggered actions) are recorded after each request.
Brain proxy (multi-provider LLM)
POST /api/brain/chat
Server-Sent Events stream from a unified multi-provider LLM gateway. Used by the <agent-3d> element when brain="…" is set without a custom key-proxy. The "we-pay" mode deducts from the agent's monthly token budget and enforces the agent's embed policy (allowed origins, allowed surfaces).
Request body
{
"provider": "claude-sonnet-5",
"messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello" }],
"system": "You are a friendly product guide.",
"maxTokens": 1024
}
Supported provider IDs
| Provider | Network | Tier |
|---|---|---|
claude-opus-5 | Anthropic | flagship |
claude-sonnet-5 | Anthropic | balanced |
claude-opus-4-7 | Anthropic | flagship |
claude-sonnet-4-6 | Anthropic | balanced |
claude-haiku-4-5 | Anthropic | fast |
gpt-5.6-sol | OpenAI | flagship |
gpt-5.6-terra | OpenAI | balanced |
gpt-5.6-luna | OpenAI | fast |
o3 / o3-pro | OpenAI | reasoning |
qwen-* | Qwen / Alibaba | varies |
openrouter:* | OpenRouter (any) | varies |
Legacy ids gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, and o3-mini are accepted and alias forward to gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-luna, and o3. Call GET /api/brain/chat for the live list of providers actually available on the current deployment (depends on which provider keys are configured).
Response (SSE)
| Event | Payload |
|---|---|
meta | { provider, label, network, model, tier } |
first | { firstTokenMs } |
| (data) | JSON-encoded text chunk |
done | { elapsedMs, firstTokenMs, usage } |
error | { message, elapsedMs } |
Rate limits: Per-IP and per-agent limits apply in addition to the standard platform limits. Failed upstream calls automatically fall back to OpenRouter where possible.
Direct Anthropic proxy (legacy)
POST /api/llm/anthropic?agent=<agent_id>
Older single-provider proxy. Request/response shape matches the Anthropic Messages API exactly. New integrations should use /api/brain/chat instead — it supports more providers and emits richer events.
Anthropic SDK clients. An official Anthropic SDK, or a CLI built on one, takes a base URL and appends /v1/messages itself, so it cannot add the agent query parameter. Point it at the agent-scoped base URL instead, and authenticate with a bearer API key owned by the agent's owner:
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://three.ws/api/llm/anthropic/agents/<agent_id>
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=sk_live_...
That reaches POST /api/llm/anthropic/agents/<agent_id>/v1/messages, which is this same proxy with the same auth, policy, ceilings and model rules. system may be a string or an array of text blocks (at most 64,000 characters in total), messages may carry system turns between user and assistant turns (the free OpenAI-compatible models receive them folded into the system prompt), and a max_tokens above 16,000 is clamped to 16,000 rather than rejected. This is enough for the Claude Code CLI to run its full agentic loop, tool calls included, on the free model chain. Only meter against an agent you own: the per-agent ceilings and budget below are that agent's.
Who may call it. This lane is billed to the platform's own provider keys, so it is scoped to the browser embed it exists for:
| Caller | Result |
|---|---|
Browser on three.ws or an origin the agent owner allowlisted | Served |
| Browser on any other origin | 403 embed_denied_origin |
No Origin/Referer header (scripts, servers) and no credentials | 403 embed_denied_origin. Omitting the header is not a way around the allowlist |
No Origin/Referer header, with a session cookie or bearer API key | Served, attributed to that account |
Model selection. model in the body may switch between free lanes freely. A host-billed model (the Claude and Grok families) runs only when the agent owner selected it in the dashboard, which stores it on the embed policy; any other request for one is served with the policy's configured model instead. The response body reports the model that actually ran.
Ceilings. Per-IP and per-agent rate limits, the agent's monthly call quota and token budget, and a platform-wide ceiling across every host-key-billed request combined. A saturated platform ceiling returns 429.
Request normalisation. Model generations disagree about which request fields they accept, and sending the wrong one returns a hard 400 from the upstream. Rather than surface that to an embed, the proxy adapts the body to the model it is about to call:
| Field you send | What happens |
|---|---|
temperature | Dropped for Opus 4.7 and the Claude 5 family, which reject sampling parameters. Passed through unchanged for every other model. |
thinking: {type:"enabled", budget_tokens:N} | Rewritten to {type:"adaptive"} — the token-budget form was removed in the current generation. |
thinking: {type:"disabled"} | Dropped for Fable/Mythos 5, where thinking is always on and an explicit config is rejected. |
max_tokens below 4096 | Raised to 4096 on models that think by default. Their max_tokens covers reasoning and visible text, so a tight cap can be spent entirely on reasoning and return an empty reply. A budget already above the floor is never lowered. |
system (long, plain string) | Given a prompt-cache breakpoint, so repeat turns re-read the prefix at roughly a tenth of the input price. The length required to qualify differs per model; below it the prompt is sent unchanged. Pass system as a block array yourself to control placement, and the proxy leaves it alone. |
Your original body is never mutated, and none of this changes the response shape.
Usage accounting. When a response is served from the prompt cache, Anthropic reports usage.input_tokens as the uncached remainder only, with the rest split across cache_read_input_tokens and cache_creation_input_tokens. The input_tokens figure recorded against your agent's monthly budget is the sum of all three, so a cached turn still counts the full prompt it sent.
Persona extraction
POST /api/persona/extract
Turns a short onboarding interview (or a block of the person's own writing) into a structured persona profile you can save on an agent and reuse as its voice. Requires auth: a session cookie, or a bearer API key carrying avatars:read or avatars:write. Try it live at /demos/persona-extract.html.
Request body: send exactly one of answers or freeform.
{
"answers": [
{ "question": "How do you like people to talk to you?", "answer": "Short. No preamble. Give me the number and the tradeoff." },
{ "question": "What are you into?", "answer": "Solana infra, GPU pipelines, and shipping fast." },
{ "question": "What phrases do you hate?", "answer": "Circle back. Synergy." }
]
}
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
answers | array of {question, answer} | 1 to 12 entries. Both strings required and non-empty; each is truncated at 1200 chars. |
freeform | string | Alternative to answers: any sample of the person's writing. Truncated at 8000 chars. |
freeform wins when both are present. A body with neither is a 400.
Response 200
{
"persona": {
"tone": "Direct and to the point with a focus on key information",
"vocabulary": ["number", "tradeoff", "shipping fast", "infra", "pipelines"],
"interests": ["Solana", "GPU pipelines", "software development"],
"communication_style": "terse",
"dont_say": ["Circle back", "Synergy"],
"sample_greeting": "What's the key issue and what are the numbers?"
},
"model": "Meta-Llama-3_3-70B-Instruct",
"tokens_used": 516,
"tokens_in": 415,
"tokens_out": 101,
"latency_ms": 3852
}
communication_style is always one of terse, detailed, playful, analytical, warm. The server clamps the model's output before returning it: at most 10 vocabulary entries, 5 interests, and 3 dont_say entries. model names the provider rung that actually served the call, which varies with the failover chain, so do not pin behaviour to it.
Rate limit: 5 per user per day. A malformed body is rejected before the limiter runs, so a typo never costs you a call.
Persona preview
POST /api/persona/preview
Replies to one message in the voice of a persona, so a user can audition a profile before saving it. Same auth as extraction. Stateless: pass the persona on every call.
Request body
{
"persona": {
"tone": "Direct and to the point with a focus on key information",
"vocabulary": ["number", "tradeoff", "shipping fast"],
"communication_style": "terse",
"dont_say": ["Circle back"]
},
"user_message": "Should we ship the new forge lane today?"
}
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
persona | object | Any object; the shape returned by /api/persona/extract is what the prompt is written for. Rejected above 8000 chars serialized, because the persona is pinned into the system prompt verbatim and its size is prompt size. |
user_message | string | Required, non-empty. Truncated at 1500 chars. |
Response 200
{
"reply": "What are the performance numbers on the GPU pipelines? We need to ship fast, but only if the infra tradeoff is net positive.",
"model": "gemini-3.1-flash-lite",
"tokens_used": 326,
"tokens_in": 300,
"tokens_out": 26,
"latency_ms": 3016
}
Replies are capped at 1 to 2 sentences by design; this endpoint is an audition surface, not a chat runtime. For a real conversation use POST /api/chat or POST /api/brain/chat.
Rate limit: 30 per user per hour.
Errors (both persona routes)
| Status | error | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
400 | bad_request | Malformed or missing fields. error_description names the offending one. |
401 | unauthorized | No session and no bearer key with an avatars:* scope. |
415 | bad_request | content-type was not application/json. |
429 | rate_limited | Per-user budget spent. retry_after and the standard ratelimit-* headers are set. |
429 | daily_spend_cap_exceeded | The account's daily LLM spend ceiling, not the call-count limiter. Resets on its own window. |
502 | upstream_error | Every provider in the chain failed or returned an empty completion. Retryable. |
502 | parse_error | The model answered with something other than a usable persona (extraction only). Retryable. |
503 | config_missing | The deployment has no LLM provider configured. |
Both routes run the shared multi-provider failover chain, so a single upstream 429/5xx falls through to the next provider instead of reaching you.
TTS API
Voice catalog
GET /api/tts/catalog
Every voice the platform can synthesize, across every provider, in one shape.
Auth is optional: anonymous callers see the keyless lanes (Microsoft Edge,
Gemini, NVIDIA), a session adds the metered ones (OpenAI, ElevenLabs), and an
x-eleven-key header adds that account's ElevenLabs voices.
Query
| Param | Meaning |
|---|---|
provider | edge, gemini, nvidia, openai, elevenlabs. Omit for all. Anything else is a 400 validation_error listing the lanes that exist. |
q | Substring match over name, id, locale, and labels. |
language | Primary subtag or full locale, e.g. ja, en-GB. |
limit | Max voices returned (default 400, max 2000). |
Response
{
"providers": [
{
"id": "edge",
"label": "Microsoft Edge",
"billing": "free",
"usdPer1k": 0,
"byok": false,
"clone": false,
"direction": false,
"available": true,
"reason": null,
"models": [],
"defaultVoice": "en-US-AriaNeural"
}
],
"voices": [
{
"id": "en-GB-SoniaNeural",
"name": "Sonia",
"provider": "edge",
"gender": "female",
"locale": "en-GB",
"language": "en",
"labels": { "categories": ["News"], "personalities": ["Authentic"] },
"preview_url": null
}
],
"counts": { "edge": 316 },
"total": 316,
"truncated": false
}
billing is free (no vendor cost), gcp (platform Google credits, also free
to you), or credits (metered per 1,000 characters at usdPer1k). A lane that
cannot serve is still listed, with available: false and a reason.
Speak on any provider
POST /api/tts/synthesize
One endpoint for every lane. Pass the provider + voiceId pair from the
catalog. The free lanes work without auth (rate-limited per IP); the metered
lanes require a session or bearer token.
Request body
{
"provider": "gemini",
"voiceId": "Sulafat",
"text": "Your agent is live.",
"model": "gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts",
"direction": "Warm and unhurried, like sharing good news",
"speed": 1.0
}
model and direction apply only where the lane supports them (the catalog's
models and direction fields say which). speed is clamped to 0.5 to 2.0.
Max 1,000 characters. ElevenLabs additionally accepts voice_settings.
voiceId must be one the chosen lane publishes. A voiceId the lane does not
have returns 400 validation_error naming the id and the catalog URL to pick
from, before anything is metered; it is never quietly swapped for the lane's
default voice. Omit voiceId entirely to get the lane default on purpose.
ElevenLabs is the exception: its catalog grows at runtime (cloning, library
adds), so an id it does not recognize comes back as a 400 carrying the
upstream verdict rather than being pre-checked here.
Response
Audio binary in the lane's container (audio/mpeg for Edge and ElevenLabs,
audio/wav for Gemini and NVIDIA, caller-chosen for OpenAI). Response headers:
x-tts-provider, x-tts-voice, x-tts-model, x-tts-format,
x-tts-cache (hit/miss), x-tts-billing (free | gcp | byok |
credits | cached), and x-tts-charged-usd when credits were spent. Every
clip is cached in R2 for 30 days on a hash of the full request; cache hits are
never charged. A short credit balance returns 402 insufficient_credits with a
top_up_url.
When a lane is down
An upstream failure answers with a single sentence a picker can render in
error_description, the vendor's own text in detail, and the lane id in
provider. A lane that refuses this deployment's credentials (an expired key, a
billing hold) is then withheld for a few minutes: /api/tts/catalog reports it
available: false with the reason, and a synthesis request aimed at it answers
503 lane_unavailable carrying retry_with: ["edge", "nvidia"] instead of
spending another doomed round trip. The window clears on its own, and a lane
that serves successfully is restored immediately, so nothing has to be deployed
or flipped by hand when the upstream problem is fixed. A request carrying your
own x-eleven-key is never gated by the platform key's outage.
ElevenLabs Voice Library
GET /api/tts/eleven/library
POST /api/tts/eleven/library
Search the public catalog ElevenLabs users share (q, gender, accent,
age, category, language, use_cases, page, page_size up to 100), then
POST { publicUserId, voiceId, name } to copy one into the account behind the
request (yours with x-eleven-key, the platform's otherwise). The POST returns
a normal voice_id usable with /api/tts/synthesize. Both require auth and an
ElevenLabs key. A key ElevenLabs rejects returns 401 invalid_key (here and on
/api/tts/eleven/voices), so a client knows to ask for a new key rather than
retry a 502 that will never clear.
Text-to-speech (ElevenLabs, streaming)
POST /api/tts/eleven
Text-to-speech via ElevenLabs with R2 caching. Requires auth.
Limits and billing
- Max 500 characters per request
- Platform-key requests are metered to your prepaid credit balance (top up with THREE or SOL at `/credits`) at \0.30 per 1,000 characters, charged before synthesis and refunded on failure; an empty balance returns
402 insufficient_credits - Send your own ElevenLabs key in the
x-eleven-keyheader to run on your account instead (no platform charge); cache hits are never charged
Request body
{
"voiceId": "rachel",
"text": "Hello, welcome to my portfolio!",
"modelId": "eleven_monolingual_v1"
}
modelId is optional. Default voice settings: stability=0.5, similarity_boost=0.75, style=0.5, use_speaker_boost=true.
Response
Audio binary. Content-Type: audio/mpeg.
A voiceId the account behind the request does not have returns 400 validation_error (the charge, if any, is refunded first); a genuine ElevenLabs fault stays 502 upstream_error.
Responses are cached in R2 by sha256(voiceId + text + modelId) for 30 days — identical requests return cached audio without hitting ElevenLabs.
AI API — text→3D
The only text→mesh lane in the x402 / agent-payments ecosystem. Turn a text
prompt into a textured, downloadable GLB — no key, no wallet. The draft tier runs
free on the NVIDIA NIM TRELLIS lane (the same pipeline behind the forge_free
MCP tool and /forge). Higher quality/volume lives on
the paid x402 forge tiers.
Text→3D (free)
POST /api/v1/ai/text-to-3d
Public, CORS-open, no auth. Free with a per-IP quota of 10 generations/day
(the GPU quota is real). Above the quota the endpoint returns 429 with
X-RateLimit-Reset and a pointer to the paid forge tiers — it never paywalls
silently.
Request body
{ "prompt": "a small ceramic robot figurine" }
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
prompt | string | Describe a single object or character. 3–1000 characters. Required. |
Response — finished inline (the NIM often completes inside the request window):
{
"data": {
"status": "done",
"glb_url": "https://three.ws/cdn/forge/anon/<id>.glb",
"viewer_url": "https://three.ws/viewer?src=https%3A%2F%2Fthree.ws%2Fcdn%2Fforge%2Fanon%2F%3Cid%3E.glb",
"creation_id": "<uuid>",
"backend": "nvidia",
"tier": "draft"
}
}
Response — queued (poll the existing free job endpoint until status: "done"):
{
"data": {
"status": "pending",
"job": "f1.<signed-token>",
"poll_url": "/api/forge?job=f1.<signed-token>",
"viewer_url": null,
"backend": "nvidia",
"tier": "draft"
}
}
Poll with GET /api/forge?job=<job> — it returns { status: "queued" | "done" | "failed", glb_url? }.
Watching the pre-submit work (optional). Most of a standard text-to-3D
request happens before it can answer: the art-director pass, the reference-view
synthesis, and the turnaround views. Send any url-safe id of 16 to 64 characters
as progress_id on the POST, then read GET /api/forge?progress=<id> while the
POST is still open to see which of those milestones has finished:
curl -sS "https://three.ws/api/forge?progress=$TRACE"
# → {"progress":[{"stage":"directed","at":1757345001000,"directed_prompt":"…"},
# {"stage":"reference","at":1757345013000,"preview_image_url":"https://…/ref.jpg"}]}
Stages are directed, reference, views and submitting, each written only
after the work it names returned. An unknown or not-yet-started trace answers
{"progress":[]}, crumbs expire after five minutes, and omitting progress_id
leaves the request byte-for-byte what it was. Full walkthrough:
docs/forge.md.
Signed-in callers can skip the poll loop entirely: register a webhook for
forge.completed and forge.failed and the platform POSTs you the finished
job. Payloads, delivery semantics and a runnable subscribe-then-submit example
are in
docs/developer-platform.md.
A generation that fails mid-flight on one engine is automatically re-dispatched
to the next configured free lane (up to 3 backups); the poll keeps reporting
status: "running" with the new backend plus a failover_from field, so the
switch is visible but never terminal. Only when every automatic lane is
exhausted does the poll return status: "failed" — and when other configured
engines could still serve a fresh retry, it carries retryable: true and
retry_backends: ["huggingface", …] so a client can resubmit the same request
with an explicit backend instead of dead-ending.
Example
curl -s -X POST https://three.ws/api/v1/ai/text-to-3d \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"prompt":"a small ceramic robot figurine"}'
Errors
| Status | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
400 | validation_error | prompt missing, shorter than 3 chars, or over 1000 |
429 | quota_exceeded | Daily free quota spent; see X-RateLimit-Reset and upgrade.endpoint (/api/x402/forge) |
503 | not_configured | The NVIDIA NIM lane isn't configured on this deployment (NVIDIA_API_KEY) |
502/504 | lane_error / lane_timeout | The generation lane failed or timed out — retry |
Text→3D (ChatGPT Actions surface)
POST /api/3d/studio
GET /api/3d/studio?job=<id>
Public, CORS-open, no auth. The REST contract behind the "three.ws 3D Studio"
custom GPT (its OpenAPI Actions schema lives at
prompts/store-submissions/_generated/openai-actions.yaml). It is a thin shaper
over the same free NVIDIA NIM TRELLIS lane as /api/v1/ai/text-to-3d (same
per-IP quota buckets, no extra capacity), with two store-specific rules:
responses carry only model URLs and job state (no upsell block, no pricing
paths, no internal identifiers), and every prompt passes an age-13+
content-safety gate before any GPU work starts.
Request body
{ "prompt": "a small ceramic robot figurine" }
Response, finished inline
{ "status": "done", "glbUrl": "https://three.ws/cdn/forge/anon/<id>.glb", "viewerUrl": "https://three.ws/viewer?src=…", "arUrl": "https://three.ws/api/ar?src=…&title=a%20small%20ceramic%20robot%20figurine", "format": "glb" }
arUrl is the place-in-your-room link (GET /api/ar, documented below):
opened on a phone it launches AR directly — Scene Viewer on Android, Quick
Look on iOS (the GLB converts to USDZ in-page) — and on desktop it falls back
to the interactive viewer. The prompt rides along as title to label the AR
page. This is the same lane the /forge and /ar pages use; surface it to
end users as "place it in your room".
Response, queued (ChatGPT Actions time out at ~45s; the lane bounds its
synchronous hold to 30s, so a slow job always returns pending plus a poll
handle before the Action deadline)
{ "status": "pending", "job": "f1.<signed-token>", "poll": "/api/3d/studio?job=f1.<signed-token>&title=a%20small%20ceramic%20robot%20figurine", "format": "glb" }
Poll GET /api/3d/studio?job=<id>&title=<label> until status is "done"
(same shape as above, arUrl included) or "error" ({ "status": "error", "job", "error" }; generation is free, so a failed job costs nothing to
retry). title is optional — the pending response's poll path already
carries it, so following that path verbatim keeps the finished AR page
labeled with the prompt.
Errors
| Status | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
400 | invalid_prompt / bad_request | prompt missing, outside 3-1000 chars, or malformed JSON |
400 | prompt_rejected | The age-13+ safety gate refused the prompt; message says why |
429 | rate_limited | Free lane saturated; retry after retry_after seconds |
502 | generation_failed | The lane could not start the job; retry is free |
503 | not_configured / lane_timeout | Lane unavailable on this deployment, or slow to accept; retry later |
Model quality gate — POST /api/forge-quality-check
GET /api/forge-quality-check → capability probe
POST /api/forge-quality-check → score a model's realism / quality
Public, CORS-open, metered on the free vision buckets (sign in for a higher
limit). Scores how photoreal and complete a generated 3D model is, so a bad
result (a plastic toy, a melted blob, an incomplete or duplicated mesh) can be
caught and regenerated before a user ever sees it. It renders the GLB, sends the
render to Vertex Gemini (gemini-2.5-flash, GCP-credit-funded) with a
subject-aware photoreal rubric, and returns a structured verdict. When Vertex is
unconfigured it falls back to the free NVIDIA NIM vision lane; when no vision
provider answers at all it fails open (verdict.pass: true,
verdict.qa_available: false) so quality gating can never block a generation.
Request body — supply exactly one of glbUrl, renderUrl, or image:
{
"glbUrl": "https://three.ws/cdn/forge/anon/<id>.glb",
"prompt": "a medieval knight in full plate steel armor",
"subject": "person",
"tier": "standard",
"path": "image",

score is 0-100; the pass threshold is FORGE_QUALITY_PASS_SCORE (default 60),
and any critical structural defect (blob, incomplete, duplicated, floating
fragments) fails the gate regardless of score. retry is null when the model
passes, when QA was unavailable (never retry on an outage), or when the retry cap
(FORGE_QUALITY_MAX_RETRIES, default 2) is reached. The same logic is importable
for server-side use as runQualityGate + buildRetryDirective from
api/_lib/forge-quality-gate.js — the generation router uses it directly.
Which generations are gated: FORGE_QUALITY_GATE
POST /api/forge runs this gate automatically after producing a model. Two
scorers stack: a free deterministic pass (api/_lib/glb-quality.js, reads the
glTF JSON chunk: catches blobs, zero-volume and untextured meshes on every
lane and reruns once) and the vision pass above (semantic: does it look like
the prompt). FORGE_QUALITY_GATE chooses which lanes pay for the vision pass:
| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
adaptive (default) | The paid High tier is always vision-scored. The free Draft/Standard lanes escalate to vision QA only when the fast scorer can't vouch for the mesh (a low/degenerate/untextured result, an ok mesh below the FORGE_QUALITY_ADAPTIVE_MIN confidence score, default 0.6, or a planar mesh: one with no depth, which a reconstruction that lost its reference image returns as a full-footprint slab that otherwise scores near the top. Planar means flatter than FORGE_QUALITY_PLANAR_FLATNESS (default 0.2) when the thin axis is Y, or flatter than FORGE_QUALITY_SLIVER_FLATNESS (default 0.05) on X or Z, so genuinely flat subjects and slim upright characters are not swept in). A clean, textured draft ships instantly with no vision latency, so the free lane gains a semantic quality floor without slowing the common case. |
high | Only the High tier is vision-scored; free lanes keep only the deterministic floor. |
all | Every tier is vision-scored unconditionally (no fast-scorer shortcut). |
off | No vision QA anywhere (the deterministic floor still runs). |
On a failing verdict the router runs a bounded best-of retry
(FORGE_QUALITY_GATE_MAX_RETRIES, default 1, clamped 0-2), keeping the
higher-scoring result. The delivered generation carries a quality (deterministic)
and, when scored, a quality_gate (vision verdict) field: the /forge result bar
renders these as a Verified NN% / Low NN% / Checked confidence chip.
Errors

413 | payload_too_large | Request body over 20 MB |

A provider or render outage does not error — it returns 200 with
verdict.qa_available: false.
AR launch — GET /api/ar
GET /api/ar?src=<glbUrl>&title=<label>&kind=<avatar?>
Public, keyless. The device-aware place-in-your-room lane behind every arUrl
the 3D endpoints return, and the same one the /forge and /ar pages use:
- Android →
302straight into Google Scene Viewer (ARCoreintent://URL with the GLB as the source and a browser fallback). - iOS → an HTML launch page; "View in your space" enters Apple Quick Look
(the GLB converts to USDZ in-page via the three.js
USDZExporter). - Desktop → the same page, falling back to the interactive WebGL viewer.
src must be a public https GLB/glTF URL; title (optional, ≤120 chars)
labels the page; kind=avatar marks a rigged agent body and adds the
"Bring it to life" handoff into /irl (camera passthrough, animation, and
conversation in the user's room). Bad input returns a designed error page,
never a crash. Pasting an /api/ar link into a chat app unfurls as a share
card whose image is a real render of that exact model (see the renderer
below).
Model renderer — GET|POST /api/render/glb
GET /api/render/glb?glbUrl=<url>&width=1200&height=630&background=%230a0a0a
POST /api/render/glb { "glbUrl": "...", "width": 1024, "height": 1024, "background": "#0a0a0a" }
Public renderer: any public GLB URL in, a PNG out, the same pipeline the OG
cards use. Renders run on a CPU software rasterizer in-process (typically
200-900 ms, no browser); headless chromium stays as the failover for models
whose geometry or textures need a decoder the rasterizer does not ship (Draco,
KTX2/Basis). The GET form makes a render URL-addressable for og:image
unfurls, <img> tags, and markdown embeds; responses CDN-cache for a day so
crawlers render once per model. Dimensions clamp to 64-2048; GLBs over 10 MB are rejected before the
browser boots; only public http(s) sources are fetched (SSRF-guarded);
60 renders / 10 min / IP, a budget shared with /api/render/avatar-clip.
background is transparent or a CSS color (#0a0a0a, #fff,
rgb()/rgba(), hsl()/hsla(), or a named color such as midnightblue).
Anything else is 400 bad_request: the value is composited into the render
page, so it is validated rather than escaped.
Posed avatar renderer: GET|POST /api/render/avatar-clip
GET /api/render/avatar-clip → the pose catalog (id, label, group)
POST /api/render/avatar-clip
{
"glbUrl": "https://...", # required, public http(s)
"width": 1024, "height": 1024, # default 1024, clamped 64-2048
"background": "transparent", # or a CSS color, as above
"posePresetId": "wave", # any id from the GET catalog
"cameraOrbit": { "theta": 25, "phi": 75, "radius": null },
"expression": { "jawOpen": 0.4 } # ARKit-52 morph targets
}
→ image/png, plus x-render-pose / x-render-pose-label headers
The same renderer with a pose stage in front of it. posePresetId is retargeted
onto the model's own rest pose through the studio's posing stack, so a preset
lands the same way whatever naming convention the rig's skeleton uses, and a
model with no recognizable humanoid skeleton renders in its bind pose instead of
failing. cameraOrbit.theta/phi are degrees (yaw, and pitch from the top);
radius is meters, or null to auto-frame from the bounding box. An unknown
posePresetId is 400 unknown_pose. Same 10 MB cap, SSRF guard, and render
budget as /api/render/glb.
Animated avatar renderer: GET /api/render/animate
GET /api/render/animate (the clip catalog)
GET /api/render/animate?avatar=<id>&clip=wave
GET /api/render/animate?src=https://example.com/model.glb&clip=idle&size=256
→ image/png (an animated PNG)
One URL, one file, a moving avatar. The response is an animated PNG, so it
plays anywhere a still image works: an <img> tag, a GitHub README, a Notion
page, a Discord embed. There is no player, no script and no WebGL involved on
either side.
| Parameter | Meaning |
|---|---|
avatar | Avatar UUID. Public avatars only; a private one is 404. |
src | Any public GLB URL instead of an avatar id (SSRF-guarded, 12 MB cap). |
clip | Clip name from the catalog above. Default idle. |
frames | 1-48, default 20. |
fps | 1-30, default 16. |
size | 64-640 square, default 320. width/height override it. |
bg | transparent (default) or a CSS colour. |
focus | full, bust or head. Default full. |
spin | 0-360 degrees of turntable spread across the loop. |
t | Seconds into the clip for the first frame. |
The clip is retargeted onto the model's own skeleton by bone name, so one library clip drives Ready Player Me, Avaturn, VRM, Mixamo and Blender rigs alike. A body that cannot take the clip (no humanoid skeleton) still animates: the loop falls back to a full turntable rather than an error.
Calling with no parameters returns the catalog: every clip name, label and
duration in the built-in motion library. Unknown clip names are
400 unknown_clip and list the alternatives. Same 60 renders / 10 min / IP
budget as the renderers above; responses CDN-cache for a week.
Rendering is done by @three-ws/render, the
GPU-free software rasterizer that also backs the OG cards.
Forge-Off votes — POST /api/forge-vote
POST /api/forge-vote
x-forge-client: <stable browser id>
{ "creation_id": "<uuid>", "vote": true } # upvote (vote:false removes it)
→ { "ok": true, "creation_id": "<uuid>", "vote_count": 5, "voted": true }
Auth-free community curation for the Forge showcase: one vote per browser (keyed
to the same forge:cid id used for "Your creations"), idempotent, toggleable.
vote_count is the fresh authoritative tally; voted is your own state. Only
public, finished, non-rejected creations are votable (404 not_votable
otherwise); a missing/shared client id is 400 no_client_id. 120 votes /
10 min / IP.
Read the board through the community gallery:
GET /api/forge-gallery?scope=community&sort=top&window=week&limit=24
x-forge-client: <stable browser id> # optional — resolves per-card `voted`
sort=fresh (default, newest-first) or sort=top (most-voted); window=week
narrows Top to the current Forge-Off week (Monday→Monday UTC). Full feature
docs: docs/forge-off.md.
Model detail page read: GET /api/forge-creation
GET /api/forge-creation?id=<uuid> → { enabled, creation }
GET /api/forge-creation?id=<uuid>&related=6 → adds `related` (suggested models)
GET /api/forge-creation?id=<uuid>&view=1 → counts one page impression
x-forge-client: <stable browser id> # optional: resolves `voted`
The public by-id read behind the model detail page at /m/<id> (and the forge
share flow). Any finished, durably-stored creation is readable by anyone.
creation carries the model's prompt, GLB and preview URLs, category, engine
attributes, vote_count (plus your own voted when the client id header is
sent), view_count, remix_count, remix/royalty state, and real opt-in
creator attribution (creatorUsername, creatorDisplayName,
creatorAvatarUrl; all null for anonymous forges). related is same-category
first, newest, never the model itself. Geometry stats are not stored: the page
reads triangles/vertices live from the free GET /api/3d/inspect?url=<glb>.
Delete a creation: DELETE /api/forge-creation
DELETE /api/forge-creation?id=<uuid>
x-forge-client: <stable browser id> # required: only the owner can delete
→ { "deleted": true }
Permanent deletion for the "Your creations" gallery, scoped to the browser
that forged the model (the same forge:cid id that scopes the gallery read).
It erases everything the platform stored for that creation: the durable GLB,
the preview image, any uploaded reference photos the generation was
conditioned on (the image-to-3D source pictures), the row itself, and with it
the model's presence in the community showcase, share links, and embeds.
Votes and comments cascade away with the row. A missing client id is
401 missing_client; an id that doesn't exist or belongs to another browser
is 404 not_found (indistinguishable on purpose, so ids can't be probed).
On a storage fault nothing is removed and the response is 503 delete_failed;
retry safely.
Model comments: GET/POST/DELETE /api/forge-comments
GET /api/forge-comments?creation_id=<uuid>&limit=30&before=<iso>
→ { "comments": [ { id, body, created_at, author_username, author_name,
author_avatar, is_mine } ], "total": 12, "next": "<iso>|null" }
POST /api/forge-comments # session or Bearer + x-csrf-token
{ "creation_id": "<uuid>", "body": "<1..2000 chars>" }
→ { "ok": true, "comment": { ... } }
DELETE /api/forge-comments # author only
{ "comment_id": "<uuid>" }
→ { "ok": true, "deleted": true }
The comment thread on every model page. Reads are anonymous and
cursor-paginated (next feeds before). Posting requires a signed-in session
(401 otherwise) and runs a deterministic slur pre-filter (422 rejected);
posting on a missing or unfinished model is 404. A new comment notifies the
model's creator through the in-app bell (comment type, social category) when
the model has an attributed creator. Authors can delete their own comments
only.

Materialize print API
Turn any 3D model into a real, physical object: analysis, preparation, an itemized price, checkout in USDC on Solana, tracked fulfillment, and a certificate of authenticity attested on-chain. Product guide: Materialize. Wire contracts: specs/PRINT_PIPELINE.md.
Analysis and quoting are free and keyless. Only checkout costs money.
Catalog
GET /api/print/catalog
Materials, size presets, finishes, shipping zones and the pricing parameters
every quote is computed from. The public output omits the platform margin
fields. This is the source of truth for materialId; do not hardcode ids.

Analyze and quote
POST /api/print/quote
One endpoint, two modes. Omit materialId and it is a pure analysis: the
printability report, free, no price. Include one and it also returns the
itemization and a signed quote token.
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
creationId | string | A three.ws creation id. One of this or glbUrl is required. |
glbUrl | string | A public .glb URL instead. |
materialId | string | From the catalog. Omit for analysis only. |
finishId | string | Optional, from the material's finishes. |
targetHeightMm | number | Printed height. Bounded by the material and the mesh. |
quantity | integer | Default 1. Breaks at 5 and 20. |
country | string | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, for shipping. |
hollow | boolean | Hollow the solid where it is geometrically safe. Changes the price. |
note | string | Optional note for the operator. Read by the fabrication gate. |

200 | Report, and a quote when a material was given. A mesh that violates the material's constraints returns quote: null with a rejection naming the measured number, the required number and the fix. | |
413 | too_large / too_complex | Over 100 MB or 2M triangles. |
422 | invalid_model / no_geometry | Not a parseable mesh, or no triangles to print. |
451 | fabrication_refused | The fabrication gate refused it. The body carries category, label, allowed and policy_url. See the content policy. |
502 | fetch_failed | The model URL did not serve the file. |
Prepare
POST /api/print/prepare
Reconstructs the mesh as a closed solid, fills holes, scales it to
targetHeightMm, optionally hollows it with drain holes, and writes the
manufacturing files (binary STL, 3MF with vertex colour when the source had a
texture, and the repaired GLB) to durable storage. Returns permanent URLs plus
the post-repair report, so you can see exactly what changed.
Order (human checkout)
POST /api/print/orders # session + CSRF: open an order, get a payment intent
GET /api/print/orders # your own orders, newest first
GET /api/print/orders/:id # one order and its full timeline
POST /api/print/orders/:id/confirm # session + CSRF: prove the USDC landed
Body: the quote token plus a shipping object (name, line1, line2,
city, region, postal_code, country, phone). Minimum fields only: this
is the sole personal data the platform stores for a print, it is never logged,
and it never enters an analytics event. shipping.country must match the
country the quote was priced for, or the order is refused with a 422
(destination_mismatch): shipping is part of the signed total.
Every priced field is re-derived from the token's HMAC, never read from the
body, so an edited price is refused with 422 quote_invalid. An expired token
and a forged one fail identically.
The response opens the order in quoted and hands back a Solana Pay intent:
{
"order": { "id": "ea80b0a6-…", "status": "quoted", "price_usdc": "39.130000" },
"payment": {
"chain": "solana",
"recipient": "wwwww…crU",

"confirm_url": "/api/print/orders/ea80b0a6-…/confirm"
}
}
Pay it from any wallet with the reference attached, then call confirm_url.
Pass buyer_public_key on the create call and the platform sponsors the network
fee and pre-signs the transfer, so the buyer needs USDC and no SOL.
Confirmation is a chain read: it finds the transaction carrying the order's
reference and validates the mint, the recipient and the amount, then moves the
order paid and on to screening. It never signs or sends anything.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
200 | Confirmed. Returns the order, the signature, and the updated timeline. |
202 | pending: no payment carrying this reference has confirmed yet. Poll. |
410 | quote_expired: the quote expired before it was paid. Re-quote. |
422 | payment_mismatch: a transaction carried the reference but did not transfer the quoted USDC to the platform wallet. The signature is returned so you can inspect it. |
USDC on Solana is the only way to pay. There is no card processor.
Order (agent checkout, x402)
POST /api/x402/print-order
The agent lane. The quote token and the address are validated before any 402
is issued, so a malformed order is refused for free with a 422 and never
charges. The 402 then quotes that token's exact total rather than a list price,
because every print is its own object.

An order is visible to the account that placed it, so GET /api/print/orders/:id
needs that session; it answers 404 rather than 403 to anyone else, because
confirming an id exists to a stranger is itself a leak. An agent order carries
no session, so the order_id in the settled response is its receipt.
Certificates
GET /api/print/certs/:id
The certificate for a shipped print: the SHA-256 of the exact manufactured file
and of the viewable GLB, the edition number, and the Solana memo signature that
carries both. The human page is /cert/:id. A signature of null means the
attestation is still in flight, not that the certificate is fake.
Operator and provider surfaces
POST /api/print/ops/{queue|order|adapters|transition|submit|tracking|cancel|refund}
is the operator console API and is allowlist-gated.
POST /api/print/webhook/:provider is where a fulfillment partner reports in;
every delivery is HMAC-verified against the raw bytes before it is parsed and
claimed for idempotency before it is applied. Neither is a public integration
surface; both are specified in
specs/PRINT_PIPELINE.md.
Material Studio API
Re-skin any GLB — not just avatars — without regenerating its mesh. Generalizes
the Avatar Studio re-skin idea (src/avatar-studio-colorpicker.js,
src/avatar-wardrobe.js) to arbitrary models: apply a curated PBR material
preset live in the browser (see Restyle Studio), ask
an AI for a restyle from a plain-language instruction, or fan one preset out into
N reproducible colorway variants. Free and hosted — rate-limited, not x402 — the
same implementation the paid restyle_material MCP tool calls as
a thin client, so the free web page and the paid agent tool never drift.
Every mesh edit is non-destructive: geometry and UVs are never touched (only
material factors), the source GLB is never mutated, and every restyle or variant
is minted as its own durable, gltf-validator-checked object. Every call is also
recorded in an immutable parent → child version lineage — the exact shape
refine_model uses (mcp-server/src/tools/_lineage.js) — so a caller can revert
to, or branch off, any earlier version instead of losing history.
Implementation: api/_lib/material-studio-store.js
(core logic) and api/material-studio.js (HTTP
surface). Preset library: packages/viewer-presets.
Upload a checkpoint
POST /api/material-studio?action=upload
Body: raw GLB bytes, content-type: model/gltf-binary. Validates the bytes
(magic header + gltf-validator) and mirrors them into durable object storage.
Used to turn a locally-loaded file into a public https URL the other two actions
can operate on, and to checkpoint a manually fine-tuned (slider/preset) edit as a
new lineage version.

AI restyle
POST /api/material-studio?action=restyle
| Body field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
glb_url | string | Public https URL of the GLB to restyle. Required. |
instruction | string | Plain-language look, e.g. "make it chrome", "wooden", "cyberpunk neon". 2–300 characters. Required. |
material_index | integer | Optional — restyle only this material (by index) instead of every material. |
parent_lineage | array | Optional — the lineage array a previous restyle/variants call returned, to extend the same version history. |
parent_index | integer | Optional — branch off an earlier version in parent_lineage instead of the latest. |
IBM Granite (watsonx.ai) proposes a glTF 2.0 PBR material (base color,
metalness, roughness, emissive) from the instruction; @gltf-transform applies
those factors onto the target material(s) and re-exports. Mesh geometry and UVs
are byte-identical to the source.

Seeded colorway variants
POST /api/material-studio?action=variants
| Body field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
glb_url | string | Public https URL of the GLB to fan out. Required. |
preset | string | Base PBR preset to vary from — one of the @three-ws/viewer-presets names (chrome, gold, copper, brushedSteel, gunmetal, matte, glossy, rubber, ceramic, glass, wood, stone, neon, holographic). Default chrome. |
seed | integer | Deterministic seed — same preset + seed always produces the same set. Default 0. |
count | integer | How many variants (1–12). Default 6. |
material_index | integer | Optional — vary only this material index. |
parent_lineage / parent_index | Same as the restyle action, above — every variant branches off the same parent (the source model). |
Fans one preset out into count reproducible colorways (mulberry32 seeded
PRNG — byte-identical output for the same base + seed) and persists each one
as its own real, validated GLB, not just a live preview swap.

AI API — text→image
Text→image for agents over x402 — no API key, no account. The first 5 images/day
per IP are free; past the quota each image is a single USDC micropayment
($0.02) settled on Solana or Base via the x402
rail. It runs on the same subsidized lanes as the 3D forge (NVIDIA NIM FLUX and
the Google Vertex/Gemini image lane), and returns a durable https URL to the
rendered image.
Text→image
POST /api/v1/ai/image
Public, CORS-open. Unauthenticated callers get the free daily quota first; once
it's spent the endpoint answers with a standard 402 Payment Required challenge
(pay with any x402 client to receive the image). A quota slot is spent only when
an image is actually delivered — a validation error, a content refusal, or a lane
outage never burns a free generation.
Request body

AI API — speech (TTS + ASR)
Text-to-speech and speech-to-text for agents over x402 — no API key, no account.
Both run on the platform's subsidized NVIDIA NIM lanes (Magpie multilingual TTS
and Riva ASR) and both follow the same shape: a free daily per-IP quota first,
then a single USDC micropayment settled on Solana or Base via the
x402 rail. Nobody else in the x402
ecosystem sells ASR, so /api/v1/ai/asr is a one-of-a-kind lane.
Both endpoints return the same JSON shape whether served free or paid (the paid
rail must return JSON so settlement can run), so a caller writes one parser for
both tiers. The tier field reports which lane served the response.
Text→speech
POST /api/v1/ai/tts
Public, CORS-open. 10 free calls/day per IP for text ≤500 characters; beyond the
quota (or for text 501–4096 characters, or when an X-PAYMENT header is present)
the endpoint answers a 402 Payment Required challenge priced at $0.005 USDC
per call. Synthesis runs on the free Magpie lane in all cases — the payment is for
access, not a different model.
Request body
{ "text": "Your deploy finished — three services are green.", "voice": "nova", "format": "wav" }
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
text | string | Text to synthesize. Required. ≤4096 chars (free tier ≤500). |
voice | string | Voice id (nova, alloy, shimmer, onyx, …). Unknown values fall back to the default persona. Default nova. |
format | string | wav or pcm. Magpie emits WAV or raw PCM. Default wav. |
language | string | BCP-47 tag: en-US, es-US, fr-FR, de-DE, it-IT, hi-IN, zh-CN, vi-VN, ja-JP. Default en-US. |

Sign Language API: ASL fingerspelling → text
Read American Sign Language fingerspelling from a webcam. No API key, no account, no payment: rate-limited per IP. This is the input half of the platform's signing loop (the output half, avatars that sign, is docs/sign-language.md).
Video never reaches the platform. The caller extracts MediaPipe Holistic
landmarks in the browser and posts coordinates only. src/sign-input.js ships a
SignInput class that does the camera, the landmarker, and both calls below for you.
Recognition runs the 1st-place model from Google's 2023 ASL Fingerspelling Recognition competition (Apache-2.0 weights, FSboard CC BY 4.0 corpus), served by workers/model-asl-recognition.
Feature schema
GET /api/asl-recognition
Returns the exact per-frame feature layout the recognizer expects. Fetch it once, then build every frame row in this column order.
{
"columns": ["x_face_0", "x_face_61", "…", "z_pose_21"],
"max_frames": 1500,
"min_frames": 8
}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
columns | string[] | 390 landmark column names, in order: <x|y|z>_<face|left_hand|right_hand|pose>_<index> |
max_frames | number | Longest accepted capture |
min_frames | number | Below this the capture is too short to decode |
Transcribe
POST /api/asl-recognition
Request body
{ "frames": [[0.51, 0.32, null, "…"]], "clean": true }
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
frames | number[][] | One row per video frame, each holding the values named by columns, in order. null marks a missing landmark. Required. |
clean | boolean | Run the LLM cleanup pass over the raw decode. Default true; send false for the untouched decode. |

}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
text | string | The transcription, after cleanup when it ran |
raw | string | The model's untouched decode |
cleaned | boolean | Whether cleanup changed the decode |
confidence | number | Mean per-character softmax probability of the raw decode, 0 to 1. Near 1 is a clean read; low values mean the capture was poor, and the browser surfaces a warning rather than inserting the text silently |
frames | number | Frames decoded |
ms | number | Recognition time |
Webcam fingerspelling decodes at a 10-20% character error rate, which is why a
constrained LLM pass recovers the intended word and why the browser surfaces the
result for review before sending. Cleanup fails open: any LLM problem returns raw
unchanged.

Agent Tokens API
The coin an agent is configured to become, before it exists on chain. Full guide, including the launch paths and the mainnet activation step: Agent tokens.
Read an agent's token plan
GET /api/agents/tokens/plan?agent_id=<uuid>&network=mainnet
Open. A plan whose status is ready or launched is returned to anyone; a
draft is returned only to the agent's owner, who also gets launch_wallet.

}
Save an agent's token plan
PUT /api/agents/tokens/plan
Requires the agent owner's session. Saving costs nothing and mints nothing.
status is derived from the readiness check on every save. A plan that already
launched is permanent and answers 409 conflict.
Request body
{
"agent_id": "8f14e45f-ceea-467a-9f27-1f0f8b1cba1c",

"buyback_bps": 2500,
"sol_buy_in": 0.5
}
Discard an unlaunched plan
DELETE /api/agents/tokens/plan?agent_id=<uuid>&network=mainnet
Requires the agent owner's session. A launched plan is a record and is kept;
deleting one answers 409 conflict.
Rehearse the launch (no broadcast)
POST /api/agents/tokens/plan-dry-run
Requires the agent owner's session. Builds the real pump.fun create instructions
from the saved plan, compiles them against a real blockhash, and simulates them
on the cluster. Never signs, never broadcasts, costs nothing. network defaults
to devnet.

compile_failed, rpc_unavailable.
Token API — security
Rug-check any Solana token in one free call. Instead of an invented "risk score",
this returns the on-chain facts an agent needs to decide for itself: whether
the mint and freeze authorities are still active, how concentrated the top holders
are, how deep the liquidity is, and how old the pair is. It composes
getAccountInfo + getTokenLargestAccounts (Solana RPC) with DexScreener — data
you could gather yourself from three sources, in one keyless request.
Token security check
GET /api/v1/token/security?address=<mint>
Public, CORS-open, no auth. Rate limited to 20 requests/min per IP; responses
are edge-cached for 60s. Solana only — an EVM 0x… address returns 400.
| Query param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
address | string | Base58 Solana mint address. Required. |
Response
Every field is always present — null when a source couldn't resolve it, never
omitted and never faked. sources names which upstreams answered; flags are

Degradation & errors
Each section resolves independently. If one upstream is down, only that section
is nulled and it drops out of sources — the call still succeeds (200) as long
as any section resolved.
| Status | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
400 | validation_error | address missing or not a base58 Solana address |
400 | unsupported_chain | An EVM 0x… address — this endpoint is Solana-only |

429 | rate_limited | Over 20 requests/min from this IP — back off per retry_after |
503 | sources_unavailable | Every upstream failed — transient, retry shortly |
Fact Check API
Sourced fact-checking with cryptographic attestations you can audit — not just an
asserted verdict. Submit a claim and get back a verdict (supported /
contradicted / mixed / insufficient) backed by live web search and LLM
stance analysis, with cited sources, authority weights, a confidence score, and a
SHA-256 attestation over the result. A published accuracy benchmark (40 claims,
10 per verdict class) makes the quality claim checkable instead of asserted — see
/fact-check for the live scores and claim set.
Fact check a claim
POST /api/x402/fact-check
Free daily lane: the first 3 checks/day per IP run the exact same live
chain as the paid lane — never a degraded or cached-only response — and are
marked "lane": "free". Once the quota is used, the same request receives the
x402 402 payment challenge for the paid lane instead of an error.
Paid lane: $0.10 USDC base price (Base or Solana) once the free quota is
exhausted, or immediately if the request carries an X-PAYMENT header. Marked
"lane": "paid".
| Body field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
claim | string | The factual claim to verify. 5–1000 characters. Required. |
strictness | string | high | medium (default) | low — how hard low-authority sources are downweighted. |
imageUrl | string | Optional http(s) image evidence (chart, screenshot, photo). Vision-described and weighed alongside web sources when available. |

degraded — when the check ran on less than the full chain. Every live
check has a wall-clock budget (45s by default, FACT_CHECK_BUDGET_MS) and each
stage gets what is left of it. If query generation or stance extraction cannot
reach a language-model provider inside that budget, the stage falls back rather
than failing the request: query generation searches the claim text itself, and
stance extraction marks every source neutral, which scores as insufficient.
You still get the real sources and their excerpts. When that happens the
response carries a degraded array naming each stage that fell back:
{
"verdict": "insufficient",
"confidence": 0.3,
"sources": [ "…real sources, real excerpts…" ],
"degraded": ["stance extraction unavailable: all providers exhausted"]
}
Treat degraded as "re-run this later", not as a judgement about the claim: a
degraded result is deliberately not written to the 7-day cache, so the next
request re-runs the full chain. Absence of the field means the full chain ran.

against the real chain. /fact-check renders the
latest generated score, the claim set, and a live "try one free check" box.
Market Intelligence & Sentiment API
Three free /api/v1 routes: a deterministic text-sentiment classifier (always
on, no upstream dependency), and two momentum/narrative intelligence reads
backed by aixbt (/market/intel, /market/projects) —
publicly readable, no API key or wallet needed, whenever aixbt is configured on
the deployment.
Sentiment classification
POST /api/v1/sentiment
Public, CORS-open, no auth. Runs the same deterministic lexicon scorer as
/api/social/sentiment — no third-party dependency, so it never degrades.
Rate limited by the gateway's shared per-IP budget (120 requests/min).
| Body field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
text | string | The text to classify. Required. |
curl -s -X POST https://three.ws/api/v1/sentiment \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \

"negative_pct": 9
}
}
| Status | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
400 | validation_error | text missing or empty |
429 | rate_limited | Over the shared per-IP API budget |
Narrative / market intel
GET /api/v1/market/intel?limit=20&category=<category>&chain=<chain>
Public read (no auth required — an OAuth agents:read scope unlocks nothing
extra here, it's the same free data). Backed by aixbt's /intel feed, cached
for 2 minutes and metered against a shared per-deployment aixbt ceiling on top
of the gateway's own per-IP budget, so one caller can't drain the shared key.
| Query param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
limit | number | 1–50, default 20 |
category | string | Filter by category. Optional. |
chain | string | Filter by chain. Optional. |

Momentum-ranked projects
GET /api/v1/market/projects?limit=20&page=1&names=<comma-separated>&chain=<chain>
Same access model as /market/intel. Backed by aixbt's /projects feed.
| Query param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
limit | number | 1–50, default 20 |
page | number | default 1 |

503 | not_configured | AIXBT_API_KEY isn't set on this deployment, never a raw 500 |
503 | aixbt_unauthorized | aixbt rejected this deployment's key (expired, revoked, or below the plan the read needs). A deployment fault, never the caller's: these routes take no client credential, so they never answer 401. |
Name Resolution API
Name resolution is the highest-frequency primitive in agent tooling — every
payment, transfer, or profile lookup starts with turning a human-readable name
into an address (or back). This endpoint wraps the platform's existing ENS and
SNS resolvers (the same ones behind /api/agents/ens/:name and /api/sns) in
one free, versioned door.
Resolve a name / reverse-resolve an address
GET /api/v1/resolve?name=<x>.eth
GET /api/v1/resolve?name=<x>.sol
GET /api/v1/resolve?address=<addr>[&chain=ethereum|solana]
Public, CORS-open, no auth, no cost. Rate limited to 30 requests/min per
IP; successful responses are edge-cached for 5 minutes. Pass exactly one of
name or address.
.eth names resolve through the ENS Universal Resolver (one eth_call per
direction, typically under 300ms), which also handles wildcard and CCIP-read
resolution. A name that does not exist is a 404 not_found; a 503 ens_unavailable means every Ethereum RPC endpoint failed and the lookup is
worth retrying. The two are never conflated, so a client can cache a 404 and
retry a 503.
| Query param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | A name ending in .eth (ENS) or .sol (SNS). Required unless address is passed. |
address | string | A 0x… Ethereum address or a base58 Solana address to reverse-resolve. Required unless name is passed. |
chain | string | "ethereum" | "solana" — optional hint, validated against the address format when passed. Auto-detected from the address when omitted. |
Forward response (?name=…)

"data": {
"name": "vitalik.eth",
"chain": "ethereum",
"address": "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045",

Reverse response (?address=…)

}
}
{
"data": {
"address": "<base58 address>",
"chain": "solana",
"name": "bonfida.sol",
"source": "sns"
}
}
Reverse lookup only runs in the direction the wrapped resolver already
supports (ethers lookupAddress for ENS, SNS getFavoriteDomain for SNS) —
both directions are covered, so there is no half-built placeholder here.

503 | ens_unavailable | The ENS RPC chain timed out or failed — transient, retry shortly |
Gas API
Keyless EVM gas prices for 12 chains, normalized to EIP-1559 tiers. Backed by
a failover chain of three free providers (Blocknative, then Owlracle, then the
Etherscan gas oracle for Ethereum mainnet), each failing soft on its own 3.5s
timeout. No key is required anywhere; BLOCKNATIVE_API_KEY and
OWLRACLE_API_KEY are optional quota raisers.
Get gas estimate
GET /api/v1/gas?chain=<name|alias|chainId>
GET /api/v1/gas?chains=1
Public, no auth. Server-side cached 10s per chain, so upstream keyless quotas
see at most ~6 calls/min per chain regardless of client traffic. chain
defaults to ethereum; ?chains=1 lists the supported chain/source table.
| Query param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
chain | string | Chain name, alias, or numeric chainId: ethereum, base, bsc, polygon, arbitrum, optimism, avalanche, linea, fantom, cronos, moonriver, harmony. Default ethereum. |

EVM Swap Quote API
Read-only swap quotes over a keyless failover chain: ParaSwap, then KyberSwap, then LI.FI, first success wins, each rung on its own 7s soft-fail timeout. Quotes only: the endpoint never returns calldata and never builds, signs, or sends a transaction.
Get a swap quote
GET /api/v1/evm/swap-quote?chain=<chain>&sellToken=<0x…>&buyToken=<0x…>&amount=<raw units>
Public, no auth, no key. Rate limited to 30 requests/min per IP; successful quotes carry a 10s public cache header.

Pump.fun Market Data API
Free, keyless, versioned pump.fun market data under the cataloged /api/v1
surface (GET /api/v1 lists all five) — search, trending, bonding-curve
progress, the three.ws launch directory, and whale activity. Each endpoint is a
thin wrapper: search shares its engine with the site's command-palette search
(/api/pump/search); trending, curve, and whales share their engines with the
free Crypto Data API's pump.fun endpoints (/api/crypto/trending, /bonding,
/whales — see docs/crypto-api.md); launches shares its query
with the /launches page. No fork of any upstream
logic lives here — every /api/v1/pump/* route imports the same shared module
its sibling already uses.
Search
Text search by name, symbol, or mint, shared with the site's command-palette
search (/api/pump/search) via one implementation
(api/_lib/pump-search.js searchPumpTokens) — Birdeye first when
BIRDEYE_API_KEY is configured, falling back to pump.fun's public frontend
search when Birdeye is unconfigured, rate-limited, or down.
GET /api/v1/pump/search?q=<query>&limit=<1-20>
Public, CORS-open, no auth, no cost. Rate limited to 60 requests/min per IP; hits are cached 15s (CDN 30s).
| Query param | Type | Description |

Momentum-ranked "what's hot right now" — fuses windowed volume, buy pressure, a
volume-spike signal, and price change across pump.fun, DexScreener, and
(best-effort) GMGN smart money into one 0–100 score. Same engine as
GET /api/crypto/trending

50) to keep this door fast.
GET /api/v1/pump/trending?window=<5m|1h|24h>&limit=<1-25>&source=<pumpfun|all>
Public, CORS-open, no auth, no cost. Rate limited to 60 requests/min per IP. Responses are edge-cached 30s when the ranking is non-empty, 5s when every source is temporarily down.

Whales
Whale / large-buy detection across pump.fun — facts only: which wallets

confidence" the paid oracle scores is deliberately dropped here, and the same
scan engine backs the free

Recording Pipeline API
One call that answers "is the data loop actually running?" for the closed loop behind three.ws's pump.fun signal: the always-on launch recorder, signal intel, ground-truth outcomes, Oracle conviction, the wallet reputation graph, trained per-signal weights, and the agents trading on the result. Each link lives in a different table, so checking it by hand otherwise means six queries across six surfaces. The board that renders this is three.ws/pipeline.

health is one of:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
flowing | the recorder is live and launches arrived in the last hour |
recording | the recorder is live but nothing has arrived in the last hour |
idle | the recorder is not live, so nothing downstream can advance |
recorder.state is the operational truth behind that word: live, degraded
(the worker beats but its feed is silent or disconnected), down (the heartbeat
is stale), offline (never started, or recording a different network), or
unknown (the status store was unreachable). Every non-live state carries a
plain-language reason. The recorder is network-scoped: the worker writes a
single heartbeat row for whichever network it records, so asking about the other
network answers offline with reason: "recording mainnet, not devnet" rather
than lending one network's liveness to the other.
next_action is the single most useful move given that state, ordered by where
the loop is actually blocked, so an agent can act on it without interpreting the
numbers:
step | Needs an operator | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
deploy_recorder | yes | no heartbeat; command is npm run deploy:sniper |
check_feed | yes | the worker is up but its pump.fun feed went silent |
accumulate | no | recording; fewer than 50 outcomes labeled, the learner is waiting |
await_training | no | enough labels, waiting on the next training pass |
arm_agents | yes | trained and scored, but no strategy armed; command is POST /api/sniper/strategy |
running | no | recording, scoring, learning, and trading are all active |
Every stage is queried independently and degrades on its own: a table that does
not exist yet on a fresh database, or a worker that never booted, reports an
honest zero or offline for that stage instead of failing the whole response.
There is no 5xx for "nothing recorded yet."
Example
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/pipeline?network=mainnet' | jq '{health, next: .next_action.step}'
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/pipeline?network=devnet' | jq '.stages.recorder'
Errors

405 | method_not_allowed | anything but GET or OPTIONS |

Trader Passport API
A trader's daily on-chain score attestation (threews.tradescore.v1), served as a
portable credential and a database-free verifier. Full guide:
docs/trader-passport.md.
Read a passport
GET /api/trader-passport?wallet=<base58>&network=mainnet&window=all
GET /api/trader-passport?agent_id=<uuid>&network=mainnet&window=all
Public, CORS-open, no auth. 60s cache. Pass wallet or agent_id; network
is mainnet (default) or devnet; window is 24h / 7d / 30d / all
(default all); live=0 skips re-deriving the current numbers.
Returns subject, issuer (the attester key to pin), status
(attested / unattested), the signed credential with its committed
snapshot, credential_age_days, the daily history, the re-derived live
metrics, and drift (committed vs live, per field). An unattested wallet returns
the same shape with credential: null and an unattested_reason.
| Status | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
400 | missing_subject | Neither wallet nor agent_id was passed |
400 | invalid_wallet / invalid_agent_id | Malformed subject |
404 | agent_not_found | No three.ws agent with that id |
404 | no_trading_wallet | That agent has never traded from a wallet |
429 | rate_limited | Over the public per-IP limit |
Verify a credential
GET /api/trader-passport/verify?signature=<sig>&network=mainnet[&wallet=<base58>][&attester=<base58>]
Reads the attestation transaction from a Solana RPC node and re-checks the memo,
the signer, and the subject. Touches no three.ws database, so the verdict holds
without trusting the rest of this API. Returns { valid, found, attester, subject, slot, block_time, payload, reasons[] }; every failed check is named in
reasons. Cached 1h for a found transaction, uncached when not found.
| Status | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
400 | invalid_signature | Not a base-58 transaction signature |
400 | unsupported_network | Network is not mainnet or devnet |
502 | rpc_failed | The RPC node could not be read (not a negative verdict) |
504 | rpc_timeout | The RPC node did not answer in time |
Authentication API
Authentication is covered in detail in the Authentication documentation. Quick reference:
| Endpoint | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
/api/auth/siws/nonce | GET | Get a SIWS (Sign-In with Solana) nonce + CSRF token |
/api/auth/siws/verify | POST | Verify SIWS signature, create session |
/api/auth/siwe/nonce | GET | Get a SIWE nonce |
/api/auth/siwe/verify | POST | Verify SIWE signature, create session |
/api/auth/session | GET | Get current session |
/api/auth/session | DELETE | Logout / destroy session |
/api/auth/privy/verify | POST | Verify a Privy auth token, create session |
/api/auth/wallets | GET | List wallets linked to current user |
/api/auth/wallets | POST | Link a new wallet |
API Keys API
List API keys
GET /api/api-keys
Requires auth. Returns all API keys for the current user. Plaintext key values are never returned after creation.
Response
{
"keys": [
{
"id": "key_abc",
"name": "My Integration",
"scopes": ["avatars:read", "avatars:write"],
"created_at": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
"last_used_at": "2025-01-20T08:30:00Z"
}
]
}
Create API key
POST /api/api-keys
Requires auth.
Request body
{
"name": "My Integration",
"scopes": ["avatars:read", "avatars:write"]
}
Available scopes
| Scope | Description |
|---|---|
avatars:read | Read agents and avatars |
avatars:write | Create and update agents and avatars |
avatars:delete | Delete agents and avatars |
profile | Read user profile data |
Response
{
"id": "key_abc",
"key": "sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
The plaintext key is returned only once at creation time. Store it immediately — it cannot be retrieved again.
Keys use the format sk_live_ + 32 random characters.
Revoke API key
DELETE /api/api-keys/:id
Requires auth. Permanently revokes the key.
Response: { "ok": true }
Discovery / Explore API
Search agents
GET /api/explore
Paginated directory across every source the platform crawls: ERC-8004 registered agents (EVM), three.ws Solana agents, external Solana agents (Metaplex Agent Registry + AgenC), and public 3D avatars. No auth required.
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
q | string | Name/description substring search |
source | string | all (default), onchain, avatar, solana, or agents (every on-chain agent, no avatars) |
only3d | 1 | Only rows with a 3D body (avatars are always 3D) |
chain | integer | Filter by EVM chain ID (implicitly excludes avatars and Solana) |
category | string | Avatar model_category filter, single or comma-separated (avatar, accessory, item, scene, creature, vehicle, other) |
quality | string | high (default, hides auto-named junk) or all |
cursor | string | ISO 8601 timestamp cursor for keyset pagination |
limit | integer | Max results, 1 to 250 (default: 24) |
Response
{
"items": [
{
"kind": "onchain",
"chainId": 8453,
"agentId": 42,
"name": "Aria",
"description": "Product guide",
"detailUrl": "/a/8453/42",

"totals": { "all": 142, "threeD": 89, "onchain": 40, "solana": 12, "solanaExternal": 4, "avatars": 86 }
}
Every item carries a detailUrl: the canonical on-platform detail page for that entity (/avatars/:id for avatars, /agents/:id for three.ws agents, /a/:chainId/:agentId for ERC-8004 agents, /discover/a/sol/:asset for external Solana agents). Link to it rather than assembling paths from ids.
Featured agents
GET /api/showcase
Public directory of ERC-8004 agents with 3D avatars, for homepage and gallery use. CDN-cached (max-age=60, s-maxage=60, stale-while-revalidate=300). No auth required.
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
net | string | mainnet, testnet, or all (default: mainnet) |
sort | string | newest or oldest (default: newest) |
chain | integer | Comma-separated chain IDs. Overrides net; an unknown ID is a validation_error. |
limit | integer | Max results, 1 to 60 (default: 24). A fractional value is floored. |
cursor | string | Keyset cursor from the previous page's next_cursor. Opaque, pass it back verbatim. |
Response: { agents, total, next_cursor }, each agent shaped as in /api/explore. total is the count for the current filter, not the page. next_cursor is null on the last page.
The cursor encodes the full keyset tuple (registration timestamp, chain ID, agent ID) so pagination stays stable while the crawler inserts. Two properties matter if you are reproducing it: the timestamp is carried at Postgres' own microsecond precision (re-rendering it through a millisecond clock repeats or skips the boundary row), and an agent whose registry event carried no timestamp sorts under -infinity, at the end of newest and the start of oldest, rather than dropping out of the walk. A cursor that does not decode is a 400 validation_error, never a silent reset to page one.
Social & Community API
The endpoints behind the platform's social layer: the activity feed, the follow graph, notifications, the unified leaderboard, creator portfolios, and cross-entity search. Overview and how the pieces interconnect: The social layer.
Activity feed
GET /api/users/me/feed
Reverse-chronological creation events (avatars, agents, coins, forged models, saved worlds) plus follow activity. Powers /feed and /community.
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
scope | string | following (default; requires session, anonymous → 401) or all (public) |
limit | integer | 1..50 (default: 30) |
before | string | ISO timestamp cursor; pass the last item's created_at for the next page |
Response
{
"items": [
{
"kind": "model",
"id": "fc_abc123",
"created_at": "2026-07-12T10:00:00Z",
"actor": { "username": "nix", "display_name": "Nix", "avatar_url": "https://…" },
"title": "a bronze dragon statue",
"href": "/viewer?src=…",
"image": "https://…",
"isRemix": false
}
]
}
Items of kind: "follow" also carry a target shaped like actor. actor.username is null for creations made while signed out.
Not the same endpoint as GET /api/feed, the public Money Pulse ticker (Money Feed).
Cross-entity search
GET /api/search
One query across avatars, on-chain/Solana agents, forged models, worlds, and coins. Public, rate-limited per IP.
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
q | string | Search text |
type | string | all (default), avatar, agent, model, world, or coin |
limit | integer | 4..48 (default: 18) |
Response: { q, type, items: [...] }. Sources are queried in parallel and merged; ranking is recency boosted by follower, remix, and view signals. Model items carry a remix block wired to POST /api/x402/remix-asset.
Unified leaderboard
GET /api/leaderboard/unified
The cross-surface leaderboard behind /rankings. Public; sending a session cookie or Bearer token pins your own row into the response even when you rank outside the page window.
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
metric | string | creations (default), remixes_received, launches, followers, or walk_distance |
limit | integer | 1..100 (default: 50) |
offset | integer | Pagination offset |
remixes_received counts finished derivatives made by other creators: a creator's own refines of their own model write the same parent_creation_id and are deliberately excluded, as are generations that never finished.
Response: { metric, metricLabel, total, limit, offset, hasMore, rows, me, streak, badges }.
rows is the requested page of { rank, userId, username, handle, profileUrl, avatar, value }. me, streak, and badges are per-viewer and are null / [] for an anonymous caller:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
me | The caller's own row, pinned even when it falls outside the page window. rank: null plus unranked: true when the caller has no score. |
streak | { currentStreak, longestStreak, lastActiveDay } from user_streaks, or null. A streak two UTC days stale reads back as 0. |
badges | Earned badges, newest first, each { code, context, unlockedAt, label, description, icon }. |
Because those three blocks are viewer specific, an authenticated response is sent cache-control: private; an anonymous one keeps the shared public, s-maxage=30 edge cache.
Daily Match standings
GET /api/leaderboard/daily-match
The agents' Daily Match board behind /daily-match. Ranks public agents by real output shipped since 00:00 UTC today: agent_actions rows, closed sniper positions plus pump trades on the agent's own coins, confirmed skill sales, and coin launches. score = actions + 5·trades + 15·sales + 25·launches; realized sniper P&L is returned for context but never scored. Public, anonymous, CDN-cached ~30s, and cross-origin readable (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, same as the unified board). Format adopted from Bowyer's Arena (bowyer.app), who run daily agent matches on top of three.ws avatars.
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
limit | integer | 1..50 (default 20) |
Response: { data: { day_start, resets_at, weights, standings: [{ rank, agent_id, name, avatar_url, actions, launches, trades, sales, pnl_lamports, score }], yesterday_winner, recent: [{ agent_id, name, type, source_skill, at }] } }
Skill promo state
GET /api/marketplace/skill-promo?agent_id=<uuid>&skill=<name>
Public proof-phase promo state for one paid skill: the base price, the effective price the purchase quote will actually charge (dynamic pricing rules applied), and, while a first_n_purchases rule is live, the real claimed and spots-left counts. Powers the strikethrough list price and "First N · X left" counters in the marketplace and purchase modal. Read-only, anonymous, CDN-cached ~15s; the charged amount always comes from the purchase quote, which evaluates the same rules.
Response: { data: { base_amount, effective_amount, currency_mint, chain, promo: null | { rule_type, threshold, claimed, spots_left, promo_amount, list_amount } } }
Follow / unfollow a user
GET /api/users/:username/follow
POST /api/users/:username/follow
DELETE /api/users/:username/follow
The social-graph edge for a public profile. GET is viewer-specific (never cached). POST and DELETE are idempotent, require a session + CSRF token, block self-follows (400), and return the same envelope as GET so one round-trip updates both the button and the counts. A genuinely new edge notifies the followed user exactly once.
followers_count and following_count count only reachable profiles: live accounts that have claimed a username. That is exactly the set GET /api/users/:username/follows lists, so the number and the list always agree. The same rule applies to the stats.followers / stats.following fields on GET /api/users/:username.
Response (all three methods)
{
"following": true,
"followed_by": false,
"followers_count": 42,
"following_count": 7
}
List followers / following
GET /api/users/:username/follows
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
type | string | followers or following |
limit | integer | 1..100 |
offset | integer | Pagination offset |
Each row carries is_following (does the signed-in viewer follow that row's user) for follow-back buttons. Accounts without a username are excluded in the query, not after paging, so limit, offset, and has_more count the same rows you receive.
Creator portfolio
GET /api/users/:username
GET /api/users/:username/creations
Public profile and the cursor-paginated portfolio of forged models, saved worlds, and restyled models attributed to that creator. Powers /u/:username.
Query parameters (/creations)
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
type | string | model, world, or restyle. Omit for all three. Anything else 400s |
before | string | ISO 8601 cursor, echoed back as next. A non-date value 400s |
limit | integer | 1..48, default 24 |
Response: { items: [{ id, type, title, prompt, thumbnailUrl, category, viewerUrl, createdAt }], next }. next is the cursor to pass as before for the following page, or null on the last page.
Notifications
GET /api/notifications?limit=…
POST /api/notifications/:id/read
POST /api/notifications/read-all
POST /api/notifications/track
GET /api/notifications/preferences
PATCH /api/notifications/preferences
The bell inbox and its per-user preference matrix. Session required. Event types include remix, dm_received, pump_launch_filled (bonding-curve graduation), and follow. Preferences are a category × channel matrix: categories sales, purchases, social, irl, market, account; channels in_app, push, email, telegram. The in_app channel is always on and cannot be disabled.
IRL API — presence, pins, money drops, world lines
The real-world layer behind three.ws/irl: place 3D agents at GPS
coordinates, discover them by physically walking up, claim escrowed value at a spot, and
complete agent-signed proof-of-presence quests. The official client is
@three-ws/irl (packages/irl/), which wraps
every endpoint below as a typed function.
The privacy contract governs every read. There is no "query any point on earth": location
reads require a short-lived proof-of-presence token minted from your real GPS fix, sent as the
x-irl-fix header, and the server only answers for the coarse area the token was minted in.
Anonymous ownership rides the x-irl-device header (a device token you generate — a bearer
credential, never sent in a URL). Full threat model: docs/irl/THREAT-MODEL.md.
Mint a presence token
POST /api/irl/fix-token
Body: { "lat": number, "lng": number, "accuracy": number? }. Returns
{ token, expires_in, cell } — the HMAC-signed presence token (TTL 180 s), and the precision-7
geohash cell it was minted in (re-mint when you move to a new cell). The token's anchor is
coarsened to ~110 m server-side; reads are authorized within 250 m of it.
Pins — agents placed in the world
GET /api/irl/pins?lat=&lng=&radius= nearby agents (fix-gated, radius 10–60 m, ≤50 pins)
GET /api/irl/pins?mine=1 your pins (signed-in session)
GET /api/irl/pins/mine your pins (x-irl-device token)
POST /api/irl/pins place an agent at a coordinate
PATCH /api/irl/pins edit, calibrate, or resize a pin (owner-gated)
DELETE /api/irl/pins?id=<uuid> remove one pin
DELETE /api/irl/pins?all=1 purge every pin owned by the device token
The nearby feed returns an allow-list projection (never owner ids), coordinates coarsened to
~1.1 m, sorted nearest-first. Placement body: lat/lng (required), heading, avatarUrl,
avatarName (≤40 chars), caption (≤140 chars, content-gated, may reference only $THREE),
agentId, x402Endpoint (first-party hosts only), anchor, placementKind
(precise | approximate + fuzzRadiusM). Signed-in owners get permanent pins; anonymous
device pins lapse after 7 days. Errors: fix_required 401, area_full 429 (≤40 pins per
~150 m cell), pin_limit 429, content 422, endpoint 422.
PATCH bodies (ownership = the signed-in owner, or the x-irl-device token that placed the
pin; non-owners get 403):
{ id, caption?, avatarUrl?, avatarName?, lat?, lng? }edits pin fields (session auth).{ id, calibrate: { lat, lng, anchorYawDeg, anchorHeightM } }corrects the anchor pose.{ id, scale }persists the pinch-resized render scale from a WebXR placement session (the pinch lands after the pin was saved on the placement tap, so the final size arrives as this follow-up).scaleis clamped to 0.25–4;1means natural size and is stored asNULL(anchor_scale). Returns{ pin: { id, anchor_scale } }.
Interactions — the real-world encounter log
POST /api/irl/interactions
Body: { "pinId": "<uuid>", "type": "view" | "tap" | "message" | "pay" | "talk", "message"?, ... }.
talk records that a visitor opened a live conversation with the agent from the /irl Talk panel (one
row per conversation, never the transcript).
view repeats from one device collapse within 5 min; a pay must carry a valid on-chain
settlement signature plus a $THREE/USDC currencyMint and is deduped per signature. The
pin's owner and agent are always taken from the pin, never the caller.
Shareable pin cards
POST /api/irl/share?pinId=<uuid> mint a permanent, unfurlable link for a placement
GET /api/irl/share/:token the unfurl page itself (also served at /irl/s/:token)
POST body is the raw PNG bytes of a client-captured AR composite (content-type: application/octet-stream; the client sends octet-stream rather than image/png so the
server's body-parser handles it byte-for-byte — see the readBody() note in
api/_lib/http.js). Caller must own the pin (session or x-irl-device, same rule as PATCH)
and the pin must be public and not under moderation review. Returns { token, url, imageUrl }
where url is https://three.ws/irl/s/<token>. The unfurl page renders the photo full-bleed
with real og:image/twitter:image tags and a "Place your own agent" CTA back to /irl — it
never renders a coordinate, only the pin's caption/agent name. Rate limit: 10 shares / 10 min
per IP.
Money Drops — value escrowed at a real-world spot
GET /api/irl/drops?lat=&lng=&radius= live drops near you (fix-gated, radius ≤80 m)
GET /api/irl/drops?mine=1 your drops + your claim receipts
GET /api/irl/drops/:id one drop (location coarsened ~110 m for non-owners)
POST /api/irl/drops create → { drop, escrow_address, fund_amount }
POST /api/irl/drops/:id/fund confirm your signed funding transfer on-chain
POST /api/irl/drops/:id/claim presence-proven claim → real on-chain release
POST /api/irl/drops/:id/cancel owner cancel → real refund sweep
Custody is real: each drop gets a fresh escrow wallet, funded by the creator's own signed
transfer (or, with agentId, server-side from the agent's spend-limited custodial wallet —
returned already active with funding_tx). Create body: lat, lng, amount, asset
(SOL | USDC | THREE), kind (drop | bounty), maxClaims (1–1000), claimRule
(first | each-once | quiz), bountyCondition (presence | quiz | chat),
quizQuestion/quizAnswer, title, note, radiusM (5–250), expiresInMs,
refundAddress. Claim body: { lat, lng, wallet, answer? } with x-irl-fix — the claimed
point must be inside the drop's radius, measured against the server's unrounded coordinates.
Claim response: { ok, asset, amount, signature, explorer_url, wallet }. Unclaimed drops
auto-refund on expiry. Errors: fix_required 401, out_of_range 403 (with distance_m),
wrong_answer/condition_unmet 422, already_claimed/exhausted 409, expired 410.
World Lines — agent-signed proof-of-presence quests
POST /api/irl/world-lines create (signed-in owner of the anchor pin + agent)
GET /api/irl/world-lines/nearby?lat=&lng= fix-gated discovery (default 250 m, max 600 m)
GET /api/irl/world-lines/browse[?region=] public region roll-up / one region's quests — no coordinates
GET /api/irl/world-lines/mine creator dashboard + coarse completion heatmap
GET /api/irl/world-lines/collectibles the caller's earned proofs
GET /api/irl/world-lines/:id detail (full challenge spec only when co-located)
POST /api/irl/world-lines/challenge issue a single-use completion nonce (co-located)
POST /api/irl/world-lines/complete the proof ceremony → agent-signed collectible
GET /api/irl/world-lines/verify/:proofId public, independent signature re-check
A World Line anchors a quest to a pin you own; the agent's custodial wallet ed25519-signs every
completion. Create body: pinId, title (content-gated, $THREE-only), prompt, agentId
(defaults to the pin's agent), challenge ({ kind: "tap" | "quiz" | "phrase", ... }),
reward_kind (collectible | three_pool), reward_ref, difficulty, maxCompletions,
lifetime_days (1–90). Completion flow: prove co-location (fix token + server-side distance
check against the anchor pin, ≤80 m) → challenge returns a nonce + the revealed spec →
complete grades quiz/phrase server-side and returns { proof, collectible }. The signed
message carries only the quest id, a ~1.1 km coarse cell, the nonce, and a salted completer
hash — never a coordinate or raw device token. Anyone can re-verify a proof at
/verify/:proofId (returns { verified, proof }).
Analytics (admin)
GET /api/irl/analytics
Admin-gated (signed-in platform admin, or x-ops-secret).
Returns 24h/7d/30d windows of { pins_placed, unique_placers, nearby_fetches, unique_browsers, interactions, shares_created, share_views, drops_claimed }, a 30-day placement-method
breakdown, and a 30-day daily series. Backed by
irl_events: see docs/irl.md#analytics.
ERC-8004 API
Resolve on-chain agent
GET /api/v1/agents/:caip
Public, gateway-cached resolver for an ERC-8004 agent. :caip is a CAIP-style ref (eip155:<chainId>:<registryAddress>/<tokenId>), so consumers (the badge web component, indexers, third-party sites) don't have to do RPC + IPFS + sha256 verification themselves. No auth required.
Pass the ref with its / as a real path separator. Percent-encoding the colons is fine; percent-encoding the slash is not, because the API dispatcher rejects any path segment that decodes to contain a separator (that is the guard which stops %2f..%2f.. traversal), so a %2F ref 404s before it reaches the resolver.
Example
GET /api/v1/agents/eip155:8453:0x8004A169.../1
Response: { ref, chainId, agentId, registry, owner, tokenURI, card, verified: { modelSha256, cardSchema }, fetchedAt } — card is the resolved agent card JSON.
Errors: 400 invalid_caip, 404 not_found, 502 upstream, 429 rate_limited. Responses are edge-cached (5 min fresh, 1 h stale-while-revalidate). For a human-readable view, the on-chain agent page lives at /a/<chainId>/<agentId>.
On-chain agent page
GET /api/a-page
Renders the on-chain agent page at /a/<chainId>/<agentId>. Used internally by the routing layer for SSR.
MCP API
POST /api/mcp
GET /api/mcp
DELETE /api/mcp
Model Context Protocol endpoint — exposes three.ws as a JSON-RPC 2.0 tool server compatible with Claude and other MCP clients.
Authentication: optional. This is a pay-per-call endpoint: an unauthenticated
request answers 402 with an x402 challenge, so a caller can settle in USDC with no
key, token, or account. A bearer OAuth access token or API key is accepted instead of
payment, and discovery-only calls (such as tools/list) are free either way.
POST — send JSON-RPC 2.0 requests. Batch requests supported (max 32 per request).
GET returns the OAuth + x402 challenge to an unauthenticated caller so clients can
discover how to pay or sign in. No notification stream is held yet, so an authenticated
GET answers 405 with allow: POST, DELETE.
DELETE — terminate session.
Available tools
| Tool | Scope required | Description |
|---|---|---|
list_my_avatars | avatars:read | List authenticated user's avatars |
get_avatar | avatars:read | Fetch single avatar by ID or owner+slug |
search_public_avatars | none | Search the public avatar gallery |
render_avatar | avatars:read | Generate <model-viewer> HTML embed |
delete_avatar | avatars:delete | Soft-delete an avatar |
validate_model | none | Run Khronos glTF-Validator on a remote URL |
inspect_model | none | Parse GLB/glTF and return structural stats |
optimize_model | none | Return optimization suggestions for a model |
render_avatar enforces the agent's embed policy (allowed origins, allowed surfaces). Model URLs must be HTTPS — SSRF protections block private IP ranges.
This table is the core subset. The server registers many more tools (minting, gated embeds, memory, oracle and pump.fun intel, trader analytics, crypto data). Call tools/list, or see the MCP documentation and the MCP Tools Catalog.

x402 Paid Endpoints — Sign-In-With-X (SIWX)
Every paid endpoint under /api/x402/* is built on the shared paidEndpoint() helper. Endpoints can opt into Sign-In-With-X (SIWX, CAIP-122) so a wallet that has already paid for a resource can re-access it by signing a message — no second on-chain payment.
How it works
- First call. The client has no payment header. The server returns a
402 Payment Requiredwhose body declares both theaccepts[]payment requirements and asign-in-with-xextension (chain list, signing statement, fresh nonce,expirationTime). - Settle. The client retries with
X-PAYMENT: <base64>. The facilitator verifies and settles the USDC transfer. The server records a row insiwx_paymentskeyed by(resource, address). - Re-access. Later, the same wallet sends the
SIGN-IN-WITH-X: <base64>header instead ofX-PAYMENT. The server parses the CAIP-122 payload, verifies the signature (EIP-191/EIP-1271/EIP-6492 for EVM via viem'spublicClient.verifyMessage, ed25519 for Solana), checks the nonce againstsiwx_noncesfor replay protection, and looks up the grant insiwx_payments. On match, the handler runs and the response carriesx-siwx-address: <recovered wallet>(nox-payment-response).
Opt-in for a new endpoint
Add a single siwx: block to paidEndpoint(spec):
paidEndpoint({
route: '/api/x402/my-endpoint',
// …other fields…
siwx: {
statement: 'Sign in to refresh the catalog without re-paying.',
ttlSeconds: 24 * 3600, // grant lifetime; null = permanent
expirationSeconds: 300, // SIWX message validity window
},
});
That single declaration adds the sign-in-with-x extension to every 402 body, accepts the SIGN-IN-WITH-X header on incoming requests, and records a grant when a fresh settlement completes.
Canonical example: /api/x402/asset-download
The marquee SIWX endpoint. The catalog lives in the Neon paid_assets table — each row carries slug, r2_key, price_atomics, mime_type, and optional per-creator payout overrides (creator_payto_base, creator_payto_solana, creator_payto_bsc). Buyers pay once per slug; subsequent re-downloads from the same wallet only require a signature. The response is JSON containing a short-lived presigned R2 URL — large GLBs stream directly from R2 instead of through the function.
Each asset has its own SIWX grant key: the endpoint passes a resourceUrlBuilder to paidEndpoint() that embeds the slug in the resource URI, so paying for one asset does not unlock the others.
Operator status
GET /api/x402-status reports SIWX wiring under .siwx:
{
"siwx": {
"configured": true,
"paymentsRowCount": 42,
"noncesRowCount": 17,
"evmVerifierConfigured": true
}
}
evmVerifierConfigured: true means BASE_RPC_URL is set and smart-contract wallet signatures (Coinbase Smart Wallet, Safe) will verify. Without it, only EOA signatures are accepted.
x402 Paid Endpoints — response shape (streaming: true)
paidEndpoint() has two response contracts, chosen by the streaming flag.
Default — deliver-then-settle (streaming: false). The handler returns a value (object → JSON, or a string). The wrapper settles the payment, then serialises and flushes the body. This is the shape every current /api/x402/* route uses. A default-route handler that ends its own response is a bug: the good would ship before the settlement runs. The wrapper detects it, logs a payment_unsettled_flush audit event, and throws — it never silently returns an unsettled response. If you see that error, the fix is to switch the route to streaming mode below.
Streaming — settle-then-stream (streaming: true). For routes that must write their own body — binary downloads, res.pipe, Server-Sent Events — the wrapper settles before invoking the handler and emits the x-payment-response header up-front (HTTP headers must precede the streamed body). The buyer is charged before a single byte of the good ships, so a self-flushing handler is paid by construction. The handler receives the settlement context and streams the good itself:
paidEndpoint({
route: '/api/x402/animation-download',
mimeType: 'application/octet-stream',
streaming: true, // settle first, then hand the response to the handler
// …other fields…
async handler({ req, res, requirement, payer, settled }) {
// `x-payment-response` is already set; payment is final.
res.setHeader('content-type', 'application/octet-stream');
clipStream(req).pipe(res); // handler owns the body + res.end()
},
});
Streamed responses are never idempotency-cached (a streamed body isn't buffered), so a streaming route releases its in-flight reservation once the handler finishes rather than storing a replayable entry. If a streaming: true handler returns a value instead of flushing, it still gets the normal buffered emission — streaming is a superset of the default contract, not a different one. If settlement fails, the handler never runs and the buyer is not charged.
Multi-rail x402 payments (X Layer / OKX Agent Payments Protocol)
Paid MCP and A2MCP endpoints advertise every settlement rail the deployment can serve in a single 402 challenge — one accepts[] array, one entry per rail. A buyer picks the rail it can pay on.
- Solana / Base / BSC / Arbitrum — USDC (or $THREE on Solana), header
X-PAYMENTin,x-payment-responseout (x402 v1 header names). Facilitators: Coinbase CDP / PayAI / self. - X Layer (
eip155:196) — USD₮0 (0x779ded…713736, 6 decimals, EIP-3009), headerPAYMENT-SIGNATUREin,PAYMENT-RESPONSEout (x402 v2 header names, what the OKX Agent Payments Protocol buyer flow uses). Settled via the OKX facilitator when credentialed, else direct on-chain EIP-3009 redemption. This is the rail that makes our endpoints listable on the OKX.AI marketplace.
Both header names are read case-insensitively and both receipt names are emitted, so a buyer speaking either dialect is served. The advertised amount, the verified amount, and the settled amount are all the same per-tool price (one source of truth). Endpoints that speak this rail:
| Endpoint | Kind | Rails advertised |
|---|---|---|
POST /api/mcp-3d | MCP (Streamable HTTP) | Base + X Layer (+ Solana when configured) |
POST /api/okx/3d/<service> | A2MCP (decomposed 3D studio) | X Layer first, then Solana/Base |
The full seller-side wire contract — challenge fields, verify→work→settle order, the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE payload shape, and the settlement receipt — is pinned in specs/okx-agent-payments.md. The per-service catalog and runnable curls are in docs/okx-marketplace.md.
Agent Payment Sessions API
POST /api/pay/session Create a funded spend envelope
GET /api/pay/session List your sessions + aggregate stats
GET /api/pay/session/:id Inspect one session
PATCH /api/pay/session/:id Tighten policy on an active session
DELETE /api/pay/session/:id Cancel and refund the unspent budget
GET /api/pay/session/:id/executions The payment ledger for one session
POST /api/pay/execute Pay an x402 endpoint with a session token
The buyer-side counterpart to the x402 endpoints above. Everything so far assumed the caller holds a wallet key; a Payment Session is how you let an autonomous agent pay for things without ever giving it one.
The agent does not hold a wallet. It proposes spend. Governance enforces policy.
You fund a budget from your credits, set the policy, and receive a bearer token. The agent presents that token to /api/pay/execute; the platform's own wallet signs the on-chain transfer. A stolen token buys at most the remaining budget, only at hosts you approved, only until the session expires.
Conceptual guide: Payment sessions. Step-by-step walkthrough: Give an agent a spending envelope. Enforcement source: api/_lib/pay/spend-governor.js.
Authentication
The management endpoints (/api/pay/session*) authenticate as you: a browser session cookie or an API key bearer token. They are how a human or a deploy script provisions budgets.
The spend endpoint (/api/pay/execute) authenticates as the session: the session_token travels in the JSON body, not an Authorization header. That split is deliberate. An agent holding a session token can spend its budget and can do nothing else: it cannot create another session, read your other sessions, or raise its own ceiling.
POST /api/pay/session
Creates a session and debits budget_usd from your credit balance immediately.
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
budget_usd | number | required | $0.001 to $1000. Debited from credits at creation. |
label | string | "" | Up to 120 chars. Shown in listings and on /payments. |
expiry_seconds | number | 3600 | 60 seconds to 90 days. Unspent budget is refunded at expiry. |
max_per_tx_usd | number | null | Per-payment ceiling. null means only the total budget bounds a call. |
allowed_hosts | string[] | [] | Up to 50 entries. Empty means any host. Normalized to bare hostnames. |
network | string | "solana" | solana or base. |
agent_id | string | null | Optional: the agent this session is provisioned for. |
metadata | object | {} | Arbitrary JSON for your own bookkeeping. |

}
The token is returned exactly once. Only its HMAC is stored, so a lost token cannot be recovered: cancel the session (which refunds the remainder) and create another.
402 insufficient_credits if your balance will not cover budget_usd. Top up at /credits.
GET /api/pay/session
Lists your sessions newest-first, plus portfolio-wide counters.
Query: status (active | exhausted | expired | cancelled), limit (default 20), cursor.

}
GET /api/pay/session/:id
Returns { session } in the shape above, or 404 if the session does not exist or is not yours. Ownership failures are indistinguishable from missing rows on purpose.
PATCH /api/pay/session/:id
Tightens an active session without restarting the agent holding its token. Accepts any of label, allowed_hosts, max_per_tx_usd; at least one is required (400 nothing_to_update otherwise). The budget and expiry are immutable: raising either would let a session outgrow the amount you authorized when you funded it.
DELETE /api/pay/session/:id
Cancels the session and refunds the unspent budget to your credits in the same call.
{ "cancelled": true, "session_id": "5f2c…", "refunded_usd": 8.65 }
GET /api/pay/session/:id/executions
The immutable payment ledger: one row per attempt, settled or not, with endpoint, host, amount, network, transaction hash, duration, and error code. This is the audit trail for what your agent actually bought.
POST /api/pay/execute
The agent-facing endpoint. Give it a URL; it probes for the 402, enforces policy, signs, pays, and returns the resource.
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
session_token | string | required |
url | string | required. Public HTTPS only; validated against SSRF before payment. |
method | string | GET (default) or POST. |
body | object | JSON body, POST only. |
idempotency_key | string | Strongly recommended. Unique-constrained, so a retry cannot double-bill. |

"session_token": "pss_5f2c…_9a3f…",
"idempotency_key": "run-42-fetch-data"
}'
200 OK carries the resource and the receipt:
{
"ok": true,
"paid": true,
"result": { "...": "the endpoint's own response" },
"payment": {
"session_id": "5f2c…",
"amount_usd": 0.05,

"explorer": "https://solscan.io/tx/…"
},
"session": { "spent_usd": 1.35, "remaining_usd": 8.65 },
"duration_ms": 1840
}
If the endpoint answers a success without a 402, it was free. You get paid: false and the session is never touched. If it answers an error status without a 402, nothing was payable and nothing succeeded: you get 502 endpoint_error with the real upstream_status and upstream_body, and the session is still never touched.
Governance errors
Policy runs in order (token, status, expiry, allowlist, per-transaction cap, budget) and each failure has its own code. None of these charge the session.
| Status | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 401 | invalid_token | Malformed token, or it does not hash to a stored session. |
| 403 | session_inactive | Session is exhausted, cancelled, or expired. |
| 403 | session_expired | Past expires_at. The row is marked expired on the spot. |
| 403 | allowlist_blocked | Target host is not on the allowlist. Detail carries the allowlist. |
| 402 | per_tx_exceeded | Price is over max_per_tx_usd. Detail carries both numbers. |
| 402 | insufficient_budget | Remaining budget is too small. Detail carries need and remaining. |
An allowlist_blocked match is exact-host or true-subdomain. An entry of example.com covers api.example.com and does not cover evil-example.com.
Settlement outcomes
Three, not two, and the third is the one to design for.
| Result | HTTP | Budget | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Settled | 200 | Debited | Use the result. tx_hash is your receipt. |
| Rejected pre-settlement | 402 payment_rejected | Restored | Nothing moved on-chain. Safe to retry. |
| Submitted, unconfirmed | 502 settle_uncertain | Held | The transfer may have landed. Do not retry blindly: read /api/pay/session/:id/executions or the explorer first. |
The budget is deliberately not restored on settle_uncertain. Releasing it would let the next call spend money that may already be gone, so the accounting stays conservative and the uncertainty stays visible in the ledger.
Expiry and refunds
/api/cron/payment-session-sweep runs every five minutes, marks sessions past expires_at as expired, and credits the unspent remainder back, keyed by session id so overlapping ticks cannot double-refund. Short sessions are the recommended posture precisely because letting one lapse costs nothing.
Monetization API
GET /api/monetization/prices?agent_id=… List an agent's priced and gated skills (public)
PUT /api/monetization/prices Set or update the price/gate for one skill
DELETE /api/monetization/prices Deactivate (or hard-delete) a skill's price
GET /api/monetization/wallet Read the payout addresses on file
PUT /api/monetization/wallet Save a Solana and/or EVM payout address
GET /api/monetization/withdrawals Withdrawal history plus the live balance
POST /api/monetization/withdrawals Reserve a withdrawal of the available balance
The seller side of the agent economy: you price a skill, buyers pay for it through the x402 endpoints, the platform books a revenue event with its fee split, and you withdraw the net to an address you registered in advance.
All amounts on the wire are USDC. Every response carries both a human *_usdc float and an *_atomic integer (6 decimals, so 1 USDC = 1000000); use the atomic value for anything that has to add up.
Auth. Everything except the public price listing needs a session cookie or an API key bearer token. Writes made with a cookie also need a CSRF token (GET /api/csrf-token, then send it as x-csrf-token); bearer-token callers are exempt, because the token itself proves intent.
GET /api/monetization/prices
Public and unauthenticated: this is how a buyer discovers what an agent charges. agent_id is required and must be a UUID.
curl "https://three.ws/api/monetization/prices?agent_id=$AGENT_ID"
200 OK
{
"prices": [
{
"id": "9c1f…",

}
]
}
Only active entries are listed. An unknown agent_id is a 404 not_found, not an empty list.
PUT /api/monetization/prices
Owner only. Creates the entry (201) or updates it in place (200), keyed on (agent_id, skill_name).
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
agent_id | string | required | UUID of an agent you own. |
skill_name | string | required | Up to 64 chars, alphanumeric plus - and _. |
price_usdc | number | required | Required for a price gate. 0.000001 to 1000000. Rounded to atomic units. |
currency_mint | string | Solana USDC | Mint the price is denominated in. |
chain | string | "solana" | solana, base, or evm. |
gate_type | string | "price" | price sells the skill; nft restricts it to holders of a collection. |
nft_collection_mint | string | null | Required when gate_type is nft. Base58 Solana address. |
curl -X PUT https://three.ws/api/monetization/prices \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $THREE_WS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"agent_id":"'$AGENT_ID'","skill_name":"summarize","price_usdc":0.05}'
An NFT gate stores a zero amount: access is the holding, not a payment. A price_usdc below 0.000001 rounds to zero atomic units and is refused, and one above 1000000 is refused rather than overflowing the ledger column.
DELETE /api/monetization/prices
Owner only. Body: { agent_id, skill_name, hard? }. The default is a soft delete (the row is deactivated and disappears from the public listing, and re-pricing the skill later revives it). hard: true removes the row outright. Either way, a skill with no price row is a 404 not_found.
GET /api/monetization/wallet
Returns every payout row on file plus a resolved summary of the address a payout would actually land on per chain. The resolution matches what a withdrawal does: an agent-specific row wins, and a user-level row (saved with no agent) is the fallback.
{
"wallets": [{ "id": "…", "agent_id": "…", "address": "FeMb…", "chain": "solana", "is_default": true, "preferred_network": "solana", "created_at": "…" }],
"resolved": { "evm_address": null, "solana_address": "FeMb…", "preferred_network": "solana" }
}
PUT /api/monetization/wallet
Body: { agent_id, solana_address?, evm_address?, preferred_network? }. At least one address is required. Addresses are validated (base58 for Solana, 0x + 40 hex for EVM) and upserted per (user, agent, chain), so re-saving replaces rather than duplicates. preferred_network (solana by default) decides which rail a withdrawal draws on when you do not name one.
GET /api/monetization/withdrawals
History plus the live balance. Optional agent_id, status (pending, processing, completed, failed), limit (1 to 100, default 20) and offset. An unrecognised status is a 400 rather than a silently empty page.
{
"withdrawals": [
{
"id": "…", "agent_id": "…", "amount_usdc": 4, "amount_atomic": 4000000,

}
],
"balance": { "earned_usdc": 5.85, "withdrawn_usdc": 0, "pending_usdc": 4, "available_usdc": 1.85 }
}
available = earned - pending - withdrawn, so a reservation that has not settled yet is already deducted.
POST /api/monetization/withdrawals
Reserves a withdrawal against the available balance. The destination is never accepted from the client: it is resolved from the payout wallets you saved, so a caller can only ever withdraw to an address they registered.
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
agent_id | string | required | UUID of an agent you own. |
amount_usdc | number | whole balance | Minimum 1 USDC. Omit or send null to drain what is available. |
network | string | preference | solana (the default rail), base, or evm. |
curl -X POST https://three.ws/api/monetization/withdrawals \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $THREE_WS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"agent_id":"'$AGENT_ID'","amount_usdc":4}'
201 Created returns the reserved row with status: "pending" and the updated balance. /api/cron/process-withdrawals picks it up, sends the transfer, and moves it to processing then completed (or failed, with error set).
| Status | Error | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 422 | no_payout_wallet | No payout address saved for the chain being drawn on. |
| 422 | below_minimum | Under the 1 USDC floor. |
| 422 | insufficient_balance | More than available, or a concurrent request reserved it first. |
| 429 | rate_limited | Withdrawal requests are capped at 5 per user per day, refusals included. |
Naming a network you have no wallet on is refused rather than quietly paid out on another chain. Without one, the saved preferred_network decides, falling back to Solana.
The reservation is serialized behind a per-(user, currency) advisory lock and re-derives the balance inside the transaction, so concurrent requests cannot both pass the balance check and over-withdraw.
Coin Market Data API
Public, unauthenticated, CORS-open proxies over CoinGecko (plus a news
aggregator) that power the /coins markets index and
the /coin/:id detail pages. Responses are CDN-cached (30–300 s), so polling

Price series
GET /api/coin/ohlc?id=<coingecko-id>&days=<1|7|30|90|365>
Returns { "data": [[timestamp_ms, price], …], "days": 30 } — close prices at
upstream-chosen granularity (5-minutely for 1 day, hourly to 90 days, daily
beyond).
On-chain pool resolution
GET /api/coin/pool?address=<token-address>&network=<gecko-network>
Resolves a token's most-liquid on-chain pool, so the coin page can mount the
GeckoTerminal chart embed (which is keyed by pool address, not token). network
is a GeckoTerminal network id (solana, eth, base, bsc, polygon_pos,
arbitrum, optimism, avax); address is the token mint (Solana) or
contract (EVM), validated per-network at the boundary. Returns
{ "network", "address", "pool" }. A token with no indexed pool returns 404
(no_pool); upstream throttles surface as 429, outages as 502 — the client
falls back to an "open on GeckoTerminal" link rather than a fabricated chart.

Pair resolution (pool address to token)
GET /api/coin/pair?address=<pool-address>&network=<gecko-network>
The inverse of /api/coin/pool. Every DEX terminal names a market by its pair
(pool) address, so a link, a widget parameter or an embed arriving from one
carries a pool and no mint, while three.ws keys everything by mint. Hand this
route the pair and it answers with the token that pair trades:
{
"network": "solana",
"pair": "CnK82s8exdsK9nwqQ55kd9wcxoA22NwTchZJCBdu8LDa",
"token": { "address": "FeMbDoX7R1Psc4GEcvJdsbNbZA3bfztcyDCatJVJpump", "name": "three.ws", "symbol": "three" },
"quote": { "address": "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112", "name": "Wrapped SOL", "symbol": "SOL" },
"dex": "meteora",
"pairName": "three / SOL"
}
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/coin/pair?address=CnK82s8exdsK9nwqQ55kd9wcxoA22NwTchZJCBdu8LDa'
network takes the same GeckoTerminal ids as /api/coin/pool and defaults to
solana; address is validated per-network at the boundary. GeckoTerminal
answers first, DexScreener covers a pair it has not indexed yet (which is every
pair in its first minutes, so the fallback is the normal path for a new coin),
and a value served live once rides out an outage from the shared cache. A pool
no source knows is 404 (no_pair), a throttle is 429, an outage is 502:
nothing is ever invented. Keyless, CORS-open and cached 60s in-process + 5min at
the CDN, because partner pages call it from the browser.
This is what lets /coin3d be addressed by pair as well as by mint. See
Token in 3D, as an embed.
Markets table / coin search
GET /api/coin/markets?page=1&per_page=100 # ranked rows, 7d sparklines
GET /api/coin/markets?q=<text> # type-ahead search, top 10
Table rows: { id, symbol, name, image, rank, price, change_24h, change_7d, market_cap, volume_24h, sparkline: [number, …] } (sparklines downsampled to
≤32 points). Search results: { id, name, symbol, thumb, rank }.

dominance holds the top-2 assets by market-cap share, largest first. Either
half may be null if its upstream is briefly unavailable.
Fear & Greed index
GET /api/coin/fear-greed?limit=<1..365>
Powers the /fear-greed page. limit (default 90) sets how many days of

Ethereum gas
GET /api/coin/gas
Powers the /gas page. Reads eth_feeHistory over the last ~20 blocks from a
public Ethereum RPC (failover across four providers) and derives three fee tiers
plus USD cost estimates from the live ETH price.

Liquidations
GET /api/coin/liquidations
Powers the "liquidations pulse" strip on /coins. Proxies the standalone
services/liquidation-collector service
— a long-running process that subscribes to the public futures
liquidation WebSocket streams of Binance, Bybit, and OKX and keeps a rolling
4-hour in-memory window. This endpoint has no fallback data: when
LIQUIDATION_COLLECTOR_URL is unset or the collector is unreachable, it
returns 503 { "error": "collector_offline" } rather than fabricated numbers.

One perpetual futures contract
GET /api/coin/derivative?venue=<exchange-id>&symbol=<venue-symbol>
Everything about a single perpetual contract, powering the

Field notes:
basis_pctis the contract's premium over its own index ((price - index) / index), which is the direction traders read basis in. CoinGecko publishes the opposite sign (index_basis_percentage), so it is flipped here.funding_aprassumes 8h funding intervals (funding_rate * 3 * 365). Venues publish their schedules, the upstream feed does not, so the annualized figure is an estimate and every surface that renders it says so.peer_stats.cheapest_long,richest_short,price_min/maxandprice_dispersion_pctonly count venues clearingliquid_floor_usdin 24h volume. A dormant book prints the widest funding and the widest price every time, and nominating it as somewhere to act would be wrong. Totals, shares and ranks still count every venue.slugis the path-safe symbol: venue symbols includeETH/USDT, and the slash is folded to~because a percent-encoded slash is decoded before routing and splits the path. Seeapi/_lib/derivative-slug.js.
Only the venue read is load-bearing. If the cross-venue feed, the venue
directory or the spot lookup is unavailable, peers comes back empty,
peer_stats and index come back null, and the contract itself still
serves. 404 not_found means the venue does not list that symbol (delisted,
renamed, or expired); 400 bad_request means the venue id or symbol is
malformed. Cached 30 s client / 60 s CDN.
DeFi yield pools

getProtocols(), getProtocol(slug), getChainTvls(), and getDexVolumes()
against DeFiLlama's /protocols, /protocol/:slug, /v2/chains, and
/overview/dexs — not yet wired to a public endpoint; they back future

Sentiment heatmap field
GET /api/intel/heatmap?limit=<1..48>
The live token field behind the 3D sentiment heatmap on agent screens. $THREE
is always pinned first and flagged featured; the rest of the field is the
pump.fun trending set (frontend-api-v3.pump.fun/coins) priced from
Dexscreener's batch token endpoint. Tiles carry market data only: this endpoint
never names or recommends any token beyond the anchor. limit defaults to 28.
Response

flow is an anchor-only enrichment read off the same Dexscreener pair as the
tile: the 24h split between buy and sell swaps, with score =
(buys - sells) / (buys + sells) in [-1, 1]. It is omitted when the anchor
has no trades in the window. Non-anchor tiles never carry it.
GET-only, CORS-open, rate-limited per IP. The field is cached 20 s in-process;
when the upstreams blip, the last good field is replayed with "stale": true
for up to 5 minutes, and only a cold outage with no usable price or volume
anywhere in the field returns 502 upstream_error.

diffing, and a polling loop) live in src/sentiment-heatmap-data.js.
Related news
GET /api/coin/news?q=<coin name>&limit=8
Returns { "articles": [{ title, link, description, image, source, published_at }], "source": "three.ws" }. Served by the native three.ws
aggregator (api/_lib/news.js: 197 publisher feeds, per-source 5-minute cache
with serve-stale-on-error).
Crypto News API
The engine behind /markets/news and
/markets/archive. Free, key-less, CORS *.
Live feed
GET /api/news/feed?category=defi&q=etf&source=coindesk&lang=en&limit=30&offset=0&meta=1
Aggregates the native publisher RSS/Atom registry
(api/_lib/news-sources.js). All params optional:
| Param | Meaning |
|---|---|
category | One of the canonical categories. Fetch the live list with meta=1; unknown values return 400 bad_category with the valid set. |
source | A single source key. Overrides category and lang. |
lang | en (default), any registry language, or all. The registry carries international feeds; they are opt-in so the default feed does not interleave languages. Unknown values return 400 bad_language. |
q | Full-text over title, description, and tickers. |
featured | 1 narrows sources to the majors (tier1/tier2 upstream or credibility ≥ 0.85 — CoinDesk, The Block, Decrypt, Blockworks, The Defiant, and the mainstream desks). Backs the Featured tab on /markets/news. |
limit | ≤ 50 (default 30). |
offset | Pagination offset. |
Returns { articles: [{ id, title, link, description, image, author, source, source_key, category, pub_date, tickers[], sentiment: { score, label, confidence } }], total, limit, offset, lang, sources_ok, sources_total, fetched_at }. With meta=1 it also returns categories[], languages[],
and the sources[] registry (each with key, name, category, tier
where the upstream registry carries one, and language where the feed is not
English).
Preview-image resolver
GET /api/news/image?url=<article link>
Preview image for an article whose publisher feed ships no image (~20% of the
live feed publishes text-only RSS). The url must be an article currently
served by the aggregator — anything else answers 404 unknown_article without
touching the network. The endpoint fetches the publisher page server-side
(SSRF-guarded, 6 s timeout, 768 KB cap), extracts its og:image /
twitter:image, and answers 302 to the same-origin /api/img proxy — so the
final bytes are immune to hotlink-referrer blocking. If the page carries no
preview image it answers 404 no_preview_image; both outcomes are cached
in-process and at the CDN, so an article costs at most one upstream fetch. The
news cards on /markets/news call this in the
background and keep their designed source-initials tile when it 404s.
Every feed in the registry was fetched and parsed before being listed — see
scripts/news-sources-probe.mjs, which re-validates the registry and exits
non-zero if any source has gone dead. Each source is cached server-side for 5
minutes and served stale (up to 24 h) if its publisher goes down; a feed that
404s backs off exponentially, while one that merely rate-limits us retries
within 30 minutes. CDN cache 120 s.

is_breaking, and market_context (BTC/ETH price + Fear & Greed at

early stop (≤ 12 months per request) and reports coverage honestly:

Daily digest
GET /api/news/digest?hours=24&limit=8&refresh=1
Clusters the last hours (1–72, default 24) of live coverage into at most
limit (3–12, default 8) narratives. Returns { narratives: [{ title, summary, stance ("bullish"|"bearish"|"neutral"), tickers[], coverage, articles: [{ id, title, link, source, pub_date, image }] }], engine ("llm"|"heuristic"), provider, window_hours, articles_considered, sources_live, mood, top_tickers[], generated_at, cached }.
engine names the clustering path: llm (platform chain grouped them
semantically) or heuristic (Jaccard clustering over headline tokens +
tickers). Every narrative cites the real articles it clustered — a model
citation that doesn't resolve to a fetched article is discarded, and a digest
in which nothing resolves falls back to the heuristic engine. 503 insufficient_coverage when fewer than 3 articles were published in the
window. Cached 30 min per window; refresh=1 bypasses.
RSS syndication
GET /api/news/rss?category=defi&limit=50
RSS 2.0 rendering of the live feed (same params as /api/news/feed minus
search). Linked as rel="alternate" from /markets/news; item <source>
elements point at the three.ws reader. CDN cache 300 s.
Article reader
GET /api/news/article?url=<article url>&title=&source=
Server-side extraction with SSRF + DNS-rebinding protection. Returns
{ id, url, title, source, image, author, published_at, description, extraction, paragraphs[], excerpt_truncated, full_text_url, content_chars, tickers[], coins[], summary, key_points[], entities[], topics[], sentiment ("bullish"|"bearish"|"neutral"), analysis_provider, market_context, related[], fetched_at }.
paragraphs[] is a bounded lead excerpt, not the article body: capped to 2
paragraphs / 400 characters by excerptParagraphs() in
api/_lib/news-rights.js, the single choke point
every response passes through (see docs/news-rights.md).
excerpt_truncated is true whenever the source ran longer than the quoted
excerpt; full_text_url is where to send the reader for the rest. This is a
hard limit for every publisher, not a per-source policy — a story removed at a
rightsholder's demand (TAKEDOWN_IDS) or from a withdrawn publisher
(RESTRICTED_SOURCE_KEYS/RESTRICTED_HOSTS) answers 410 Gone instead.
extraction tells you where the excerpt's source text came from, in ladder
order (api/_lib/article-extract.js): "page" (the publisher's own HTML),
"reader" (recovered through a keyless reader service when the publisher
Cloudflare-blocks direct fetches — this is what makes bot-blocked outlets like
The Defiant and CoinDesk resolve to more than a one-line teaser), "feed"
(the publisher's own content:encoded feed body), or "preview" (metadata
only; blocked_reason set). It does not change how much of the body is
returned — the excerpt cap applies identically regardless of ladder stage.
coins[] is a live market snapshot for every detected ticker that maps to a
known coin — { symbol, id, name, image, price, change_24h, change_7d, market_cap, volume_24h, rank, sparkline[], href } — so the reader can render a
price card + 7d chart deep-linked to /coin/:id. entities[] / topics[] are
the orgs/people/projects and themes the story is about (LLM layer).
analysis_provider names the LLM that summarized it (via the platform chain),
else heuristic (extractive summary + lexicon sentiment — always available).
Cached 30 min per URL in-process; a fully extracted story is also persisted to the durable knowledge base below (which then serves as a cross-instance cache, so a blockable publisher is only fetched once).
News knowledge base
GET /api/news/knowledge?id=<16hex> # full stored record for one story
GET /api/news/knowledge?ticker=SOL&full=1 # recent stories mentioning a coin
GET /api/news/knowledge?q=etf&limit=20 # free-text over titles + summaries
GET /api/news/knowledge # latest recorded stories + corpus stats
The grounding surface the three.ws 3D agents read crypto from. Every story the
reader extracts and analyzes is recorded here (news_knowledge table,
api/_lib/news-knowledge-store.js): AI summary + key points, sentiment,
detected tickers with their market snapshot, and named entities — permanent
and queryable, distinct from the append-only GCS archive and from per-agent
memory. The full extracted body is held internally so the LLM analysis layer
and the agents' server-side RAG corpus can reason over it, but this endpoint
never returns it: it is subject to the same excerpt cap as the article reader
(api/_lib/news-rights.js), so &full=1 returns the bounded lead excerpt and
coin snapshot, not the full text. Lightweight rows by default (id, title,
source, sentiment, tickers, entities, summary). stats reports { total, full_text, latest, enabled } (full_text counts stored records with a full
internal body, not what the API exposes). Free, key-less, CORS *; CDN cache
60–120 s. Degrades to an empty corpus (enabled:false) when the platform
database is not configured.
Unified API — /api/v1/x aggregator
One catch-all route (api/v1/x/[...slug].js) bundles every third-party API
three.ws re-offers as one API, registered in api/v1/_providers.js. Adding a
new upstream — or a new endpoint on an existing one — is a descriptor there;
no new route file. Providers today: CoinGecko (coingecko, price/markets/
coin/trending/token-price/global/ohlc), DefiLlama (defillama, protocols/
tvl/chains/protocol/chain-tvl), DefiLlama Prices (llama-prices, current
price for any chain:address pair), DefiLlama Stablecoins
(llama-stablecoins, every tracked stablecoin ranked by circulating supply),
Jupiter (jupiter, Solana prices/quotes/search), DexScreener
(dexscreener, DEX pairs/search/profiles/boosts for any token), Solana
reads (solana, balance/token-holdings/token-supply/largest-holders/
transaction/account/priority-fees via public RPC), OpenAI-compatible LLM
(openai).
Public storefront: three.ws/crypto-api — the live

from the same registry (api/v1/_providers.js providerCatalog()), tagged Crypto API (aggregator). Every paid /api/x402/* operation is generated the same way, from the
service catalog (api/_lib/service-catalog/services/), so the document lists all of them
with their real price, inputs and 402 response rather than the subset someone remembered to
hand-write. Adding a provider directory in the repo: api/v1/README.md.
GET /api/v1/x # discovery: every provider + endpoint
GET /api/v1/x/<provider>/<endpoint>?… # most endpoints (GET)
POST /api/v1/x/<provider>/<endpoint> # a few (e.g. openai/chat)
Each call resolves to one of four billing lanes, in this order:
| Lane | How | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| free | send no credentials on an endpoint marked free | per-IP quota, zero setup — see below |
| BYOK | send your own upstream key via the provider's header (e.g. x-provider-key) | pure pass-through, no markup, no key custody |
| plan | authenticate with a three.ws API key / OAuth token / session | uses the platform's upstream key, counts against your plan |
| x402 | send no credentials, no free quota left | pay per call in USDC — the standard HTTP 402 challenge |
Upstream failover (automatic, all lanes). A provider backed by a pool of
interchangeable hosts declares them in its descriptor (bases), and the
aggregator walks that pool inside a single request when a host answers 429, a
5xx, or is unreachable (up to 3 hosts per call; caller-fault 4xx never
retries; up to 6 hosts per call). A host that just failed is skipped for a
short cooldown window while an alternate exists, so an upstream outage costs
one discovery, not one per request. The whole chain runs under a 25s deadline
(pooled attempts abort at 10s each) so the caller always gets the aggregator's
answer, never a load balancer timeout. The solana provider fronts the
platform's full priority-ordered RPC pool this way and shares the process-wide
RPC host-health registry in both directions: a host another subsystem found
quota-dead is skipped here immediately, and failures seen here park the host
for everyone. Single-host providers behave as plain pass-throughs with one
attempt.
The free tier
This is what makes "free crypto API" true instead of marketing copy: an agent
can call a free-marked endpoint with zero wallet setup and get real data.
Each free-marked endpoint descriptor carries its own quota —
free: { perMin, perDay } — enforced per (provider, endpoint, IP). Both
windows must pass; whichever one blocks a request drives the response headers.
curl -s "https://three.ws/api/v1/x/coingecko/price?ids=solana"
{
"data": { "solana": { "usd": 141.23 } },
"_meta": {
"provider": "coingecko",
"endpoint": "price",
"billing": "free",
"free_remaining": { "per_min": 29, "per_day": 1999 }
}
}
Response headers on every free-lane call:
| Header | Meaning |
|---|---|
X-Free-Tier: 1 | this response was served on the free lane |
RateLimit-Limit / RateLimit-Remaining / RateLimit-Reset | the quota window that governed this request (burst perMin if it was the tighter one, else the daily perDay budget) |
X-Free-Tier-Reset | only sent when the quota is exhausted — ISO timestamp for when the free lane reopens |
Once the quota is exhausted, the exact same URL keeps working — it just falls through to the standard x402 402 challenge (pay per call), or succeeds immediately if you send a three.ws API key or a BYOK header instead. No dead end, no silent downgrade.
Calling an endpoint with no arguments at all returns the 402 challenge
rather than a 400 missing_param, on every endpoint, free-marked or not. This
is the discovery path: x402 directory crawlers and uptime monitors sweep the
whole catalog parameterless to confirm each endpoint is alive and priced, and a
400 would report a healthy endpoint as broken. The challenge names the resource
and its price like any other 402, and an X-Param-Error header carries the
specific argument you would need to make the call for real:
curl -si "https://three.ws/api/v1/x/coingecko/price" | head -2
# HTTP/2 402
# x-param-error: query param "ids" is required
Send any argument and you are treated as a real caller: ?ids= (present but
empty) answers 400 missing_param with the message above, because at that point
the specific error is the useful reply.
Current free quotas (also machine-readable via GET /api/v1/x below —
every endpoint's free field is { perMin, perDay } or false):
| Provider/endpoint | perMin | perDay |
|---|---|---|
coingecko/price, coingecko/markets | 30 | 2000 |
coingecko/coin, /trending, /token-price, /global, /ohlc | 20 | 1500 |
defillama/protocols, defillama/tvl, /chains, /protocol, /chain-tvl | 30 | 2000 |
llama-prices/current | 30 | 2000 |
llama-stablecoins/list | 30 | 2000 |
jupiter/price, jupiter/quote, jupiter/token-search | 20 | 2000 |
dexscreener/token, dexscreener/search, dexscreener/pair | 30 | 3000 |
dexscreener/profiles, dexscreener/boosts | 10 | 500 |
solana/balance, /token-holdings, /token-supply, /largest-holders, /transaction, /account, /priority-fees | 20 | 2000 |
openai/chat | not free — real per-call LLM spend, BYOK or plan/x402 only |

Discovery
GET /api/v1/x
Returns every provider and endpoint, each endpoint's price (USDC atomics),
required OAuth scope, and its free quota (or false):
{
"data": {
"base_url": "/api/v1/x",
"billing": { "byok": "…", "plan": "…", "free": "…", "x402": "…" },
"providers": [
{
"id": "coingecko",
"name": "CoinGecko",
"category": "crypto-market-data",
"key": "optional",
"byok": true,
"endpoints": [
{
"id": "price",
"method": "GET",
"path": "/api/v1/x/coingecko/price",
"scope": "agents:read",
"price_usdc_atomics": "1000",
"summary": "Spot price for one or more coins in any fiat/crypto.",
"params": { "ids": "…" },
"free": { "perMin": 30, "perDay": 2000 }
}
]
}
]
}
}
BYOK / plan / x402 lanes
BYOK sends the provider's own key header (e.g. x-provider-key) and gets pure
pass-through with no markup. Plan callers send Authorization: Bearer <three.ws API key> (or an OAuth token, or a browser session) and pay the
endpoint's price against their plan. Neither present, and the free quota (if
any) is exhausted → the standard x402 HTTP 402 challenge (see
x402 Paid Endpoints above for the
wire format); pay in USDC and the identical upstream call runs.
Web Search API
GET /api/web-search?q=<query>&sources=<n>
Open-web search with cited sources. This is distinct from /api/search,
which federates three.ws's own entities (avatars, agents, models, worlds, coins)
and never leaves the platform. This endpoint answers questions about the live
web and returns the sources the answer is grounded in.
Backed by Gemini on Vertex AI with Google Search grounding, authenticated with the platform's GCP service account. No API key, no signup, and no per-seat quota: it rides the same credits-funded surface as the chat reliability anchor.
No auth required. Rate limited to 20 requests per 10 minutes per IP (each call is a billed inference request, so it does not share the generic public bucket).
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
q | string | — | Required. The search query. Truncated to 400 characters. |
sources | integer | 8 | Maximum grounding sources to return, clamped to 1–20. |
Response
{
"enabled": true,
"q": "What is the glTF file format used for?",
"answer": "The glTF (GL Transmission Format) file format is an open-standard, royalty-free 3D file format developed by the Khronos Group. It is primarily used for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models...",
"sources": [
{
"title": "khronos.org",
"url": "https://vertexaisearch.cloud.google.com/grounding-api-redirect/AUZIYQF...",
"domain": "khronos.org"
}
],
"queries": ["glTF file format uses", "what is glTF file format"]
}
queries are the searches Google actually ran for your question, so you can see
how it was interpreted rather than guessing from the results.
Source URLs are attribution redirects. Each url points at
vertexaisearch.cloud.google.com/grounding-api-redirect/... rather than the
publisher, which is how Google's grounding attribution works; the link resolves
to the real page. Use domain when you need the publishing host itself (for
display, filtering, or authority weighting) — parsing the hostname out of url
returns vertexaisearch.cloud.google.com for every result.
Degraded and error states
200 { "enabled": false, "q": "...", "sources": [] }— the deployment has no GCP project configured (local dev without credentials). A designed "not available here" state, not an error.400 missing_query—qwas absent or empty.502 upstream_error: the upstream grounded call failed (auth, quota, safety block, or timeout). Retryable. Body is the standard error shape,{ "error": "upstream_error", "error_description": "search upstream failed, retry shortly" }.
Results are edge-cached for 60 seconds (stale-while-revalidate 300).
Animations Library API
GET /api/animations/library
Returns the three.ws motion library manifest — the complete catalog of retargeted animation clips (2,800+ and growing as generative text→motion clips are seeded), hosted on the R2 CDN. No auth required. CORS open. Edge-cached for 5 minutes.
Each entry's url is an absolute CDN URL to the baked clip JSON (THREE.AnimationClip.toJSON() format, canonical skeleton) — fetch it directly and load with THREE.AnimationClip.parse(), or pass the name to the embed viewer (/embed/avatar?anim=<name>) and pose studio (/pose?anim=<name>).
Query parameters (optional — omit for the full catalog)
| Param | Description |
|---|---|
limit | Page size, 1–1000. When set, the response is a bounded page instead of the whole catalog — use this to keep a single response small as the library grows. |
offset | Zero-based start index into the ordered catalog. Default 0. |
name | Exact clip name. Repeat it (?name=a&name=b) or comma-separate (?name=a,b) for up to 50 names; the response holds only those clips. Unknown names are simply absent. |
facets | 1 returns the catalog's size and its per-category counts, and no clips at all. |
The manifest is a stable ordered array, so paging is offset-based. A paged response adds offset and next_offset (null on the last page); total is always the full catalog size. Page until next_offset is null:
GET /api/animations/library?limit=1000 # first 1000 → next_offset: 1000
GET /api/animations/library?limit=1000&offset=1000 # next 1000 → next_offset: 2000
Omitting limit returns the full array exactly as before (no offset/next_offset fields) — the legacy contract is unchanged.
Resolving one clip by name. Paging cannot serve a caller that knows a clip's name and nothing else, because it has no idea which page holds it. ?name= answers that in a few hundred bytes instead of the whole manifest, which is what a pose deep-link and the embed viewer used to download for a single entry:
GET /api/animations/library?name=mx-hip-hop-dancing # 365 B, not 1.1 MB
GET /api/animations/library?name=mx-walking,mx-running # up to 50 names
Counting the catalog. ?facets=1 returns the total and the per-category breakdown with no clips attached, so a browse UI can render exact totals and filter counts without holding the catalog:
{
"total": 3007,
"categories": [
{ "key": "idle", "count": 184 },
{ "key": "locomotion", "count": 693 }
],
"generated_at": "2026-07-05T11:01:51.610Z"
}
Categories come from the same classifier the /animations gallery uses (src/animation-categories.js), so a count here and a filter chip there always agree. Every category is listed, including the empty ones, so a UI built from this response keeps a stable set of controls. The response is about half a kilobyte whatever the catalog size.
Response
{
"clips": [
{
"name": "mx-hip-hop-dancing",
"label": "Hip Hop Dancing",
"icon": "💃",
"loop": true,
"duration": 4.4,
"bytes": 1174283,
"url": "https://three.ws/cdn/animations/library/clips/mx-hip-hop-dancing.json"
}
],
"total": 2400,
"generated_at": "2026-07-04T00:00:00.000Z"
}
Returns { "clips": [], "total": 0 } until the library has been published, so clients can feature-detect by emptiness. The curated starter set remains separately available as static JSON at /animations/manifest.json.
Asset Library API
GET /api/assets
One catalog for everything the viewer can put on an avatar or behind it: accessories (public/accessories/presets.json), the curated starter animation clips (public/animations/manifest.json), and the HDRI environments the viewer ships with (src/environments.js). No auth. CORS open to any origin, on the success path and on errors alike. HEAD is answered like GET. Edge-cached for 1 hour, because the manifests ship with the build and cannot change between deploys.
For the full 2,800-clip motion library use Animations Library API instead; this endpoint carries only the starter set that ships in the box.
Query parameters (all optional)
| Param | Description |
|---|---|
type | accessory, animation, or environment. Omit for all three. |
kind | Accessory subkind: hat, glasses, earrings, outfit. Validated against the manifest, so new subkinds work. |
loop | true or false. Restricts the result to animations with that loop flag. |
limit | Integer 1 to 500. Default 200. A value above 500 clamps to 500. |
An unrecognized type, kind, or loop, or a non-integer limit, is a 400 with a machine-readable error code (invalid_type, invalid_kind, invalid_loop, invalid_limit) and a Cache-Control: no-store. A filter typo never returns a silently empty catalog.
Response
{
"ok": true,
"total": 126,
"items": [
{
"id": "hat-baseball",
"type": "accessory",
"kind": "hat",
"name": "Baseball Cap",
"thumbnail": "/accessories/thumbs/hat-baseball.png",
"glb_url": "/accessories/hat-baseball.glb",
"attach_bone": "Head",
"morph_binding": null
},
{
"id": "wave",
"type": "animation",
"name": "Wave",
"clip_url": "/animations/clips/wave.json",
"icon": "👋",
"loop": false
},
{
"id": "venice-sunset",
"type": "environment",
"name": "Venice Sunset",
"path": "https://storage.googleapis.com/donmccurdy-static/venice_sunset_1k.exr",
"format": ".exr"
}
]
}
total is the number of items matching the filters before limit is applied, so a client can tell a truncated page from a complete one. Every item always carries id, type, and name; the remaining fields depend on type. The viewer's "no environment" preset is published with the id none.
curl 'https://three.ws/api/assets?type=accessory&kind=hat'

Agent Identity Showcase API
GET /api/agent-identities
The finished work of the Agent Identity Studio: the demo identities behind three.ws/agent-identities, each one a real run of the production pipeline (a brand brief in, a rigged GLB plus posed studio renders out). No auth, CORS open to any origin, edge-cached for 10 minutes. Useful before you buy: an agent can read what the service actually returns without paying for a run first.
The service block is read from the OKX catalog (api/_lib/okx-catalog.js), the same source the paid endpoint prices itself from, so the price here is never stale page copy.
Response
{
"service": {
"id": "identity-studio",

]
}
status is ready or pending. A pending entry carries slug, agentName, kind, and brief only: its pipeline run has not completed, so it has no deliverables to link. rigged is proof, not a claim: the demo runner downloads each finished GLB and asserts a real skin with skin weights before recording the joint count. count is every entry, ready is the subset with deliverables.
To buy a run of your own, call create_identity on the paid A2MCP endpoint in service.endpoint; the flow is documented in OKX.AI Marketplace Services.
curl -s https://three.ws/api/agent-identities | jq '.service.priceUsd, .ready'
Motion Signatures API
GET /api/animations/signatures
The measured motion signature of every baked clip in the starter library: energy, tempo, per-region motion shares, loop-seam cleanliness, root travel, and the derived flags (overlay, anchored, loopClean, static). Nothing is authored by hand; scripts/build-motion-signatures.mjs measures the keyframes and this endpoint serves the result with the plain-language derivations (band, description) added. No auth. CORS open. Edge-cached for 5 minutes.
Use it to pick clips by what they do rather than by name: "a calm, arms-led loop that survives as an upper-body overlay" is a query here, not an afternoon of previewing.
Modes (mutually exclusive; listing is the default)
| Query | Answer |
|---|---|
?clip=<name> | One clip's full signature. |
?clip=<name>&slot=<slot> | The signature plus a fit verdict: can this clip play in that runtime slot? fit.level is ok or warn, and fit.message says why in plain language (open loop seam, motion below the waist, held pose, root drift). |
?slot=<slot> | The health of the slot's own default clip: the question "is this slot fine right now?". |
?similar=<name>&limit=<1..20> | The nearest clips by measured motion distance, closest first. |
Listing filters (combine freely)
| Param | Values |
|---|---|
overlay | true / false: survives the upper-body strip on /walk. |
loop | clean: last frame meets the first, no visible snap. |
anchored | true / false: ends where it started. |
lead | head, arms, torso, root, legs: which region carries the motion. |
band | still, calm, gentle, lively, explosive. |
sort | energy, tempo, duration, upperShare, travel, beat, balance (+ `order=asc |
limit, offset | Paging, limit 1 to 200 (default 200). |
# Calm, clean-looping clips an agent can idle on
curl 'https://three.ws/api/animations/signatures?loop=clean&band=calm'
# Would av-waiting hold the fidget loop? (No: its last frame misses its first.)
curl 'https://three.ws/api/animations/signatures?clip=av-waiting&slot=fidget'
# Five clips that move like "wave"
curl 'https://three.ws/api/animations/signatures?similar=wave&limit=5'
Errors: 404 unknown_clip, 400 unknown_slot / unknown_region / unknown_band / unknown_sort, each naming the valid values. The same data powers the animation_signature and find_similar_animations MCP tools and the /gestures page, so all three always agree.
Play Population API
GET /api/play/population
GET /api/play/population?coin=<mint-or-contract>
GET /api/play/population?by=coin
How many people are standing in the /play worlds right now. No auth, CORS open, cached 5 seconds at the edge.
/play presence lives in Colyseus rooms on the standalone multiplayer server, not in Postgres, so this handler proxies that server's own /population aggregate. That aggregate reads the matchmaker's driver-backed room listing, so the count spans every instance when the fleet is scaled horizontally. Only a count crosses the boundary: no session ids, no display names, no wallets, no positions.
coin narrows the count to one community's worlds (a Solana mint or an EVM contract address). Anything that is not a well-formed address is ignored rather than forwarded, and the response reports the filter that was actually applied.
by=coin adds byCoin, a mint to headcount map covering every live world, so a page listing many communities gets all of their counts from one request instead of one request per card (this is what the /play lobby paints on its cards). Keys are re-validated as addresses before they are republished, and worlds with nobody in them are left out. byCoin is absent, not empty, when the multiplayer server is older than this parameter: an absent map means "unknown" and an empty map means "measured, nobody anywhere", and a caller must not render the first as zeroes.
Response
{
"ok": true,
"coin": "FeMbDoX7R1Psc4GEcvJdsbNbZA3bfztcyDCatJVJpump",
"players": 4,
"rooms": 1
}
With by=coin:
{
"ok": true,
"coin": null,
"players": 7,
"rooms": 3,
"byCoin": { "FeMbDoX7R1Psc4GEcvJdsbNbZA3bfztcyDCatJVJpump": 5 }
}
When the multiplayer server is unreachable the endpoint still answers 200, with the count omitted:
{ "ok": false, "reason": "unavailable", "coin": null }
Callers must render a live state without a number in that case rather than substituting one. The /event landing page does exactly this: it shows "The doors are open" instead of inventing a crowd.
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/play/population?coin=FeMbDoX7R1Psc4GEcvJdsbNbZA3bfztcyDCatJVJpump'
Coin Wars API
GET /api/wars?network=&coin=&limit= the war board: ladder, recent battles, live wars, queue
GET /api/wars?action=live&coin= only the running battles (spectator poll)
POST /api/wars?action=queue queue a community for a battle
POST /api/wars?action=leave take a community out of the queue
POST /api/wars?action=report game-server only, HMAC-signed battle result
Coin Wars is community-vs-community combat: two coin communities meet in one arena, the side that reaches the kill cap first wins, and an Elo ladder is recomputed from the battle ledger. This endpoint is what the war portal in every /play world reads and what the arena at /play/war queues through. The reads are open and CORS-enabled; the report write is signed. Full subsystem doc: Coin Wars.
Standings are not computed here. multiplayer/src/war-standings.js folds the clash_battles ledger, and it is the same module the arena's league uses, so a rating in the world and a rating in the API can never disagree.
The board. coin adds that community's own league row (standing, null when it has never fought) and narrows recent to its battles.
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/wars?coin=FeMbDoX7R1Psc4GEcvJdsbNbZA3bfztcyDCatJVJpump&limit=5'
{
"data": {
"network": "mainnet",
"standing": { "rank": 1, "rating": 1016, "wins": 1, "losses": 0, "draws": 0, "kd": 1.39, "streak": 1, "winRate": 1 },
"standings": [],
"ledgerAvailable": true,
"battlesRead": 1,
"seasonWindowFull": false,
"recent": [],
"recentAvailable": true,
"live": [],
"queue": { "available": true, "waiting": [] }
}
}
The ledger (Postgres) and the live registry (Redis) fail independently, so ledgerAvailable, recentAvailable and queue.available report which surface is actually answering. A caller must render the missing one as unavailable rather than as "no wars".
Queueing. Post the community, poll until it pairs. A pairing returns the matchKey both sides join under plus a signed ticket; the arena room takes the two competing communities from that ticket, never from the joining client, so a fighter cannot open a battle against a community that never agreed to fight.
curl -s -X POST 'https://three.ws/api/wars?action=queue' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"coin":"FeMbDoX7R1Psc4GEcvJdsbNbZA3bfztcyDCatJVJpump","symbol":"THREE"}'
{ "data": { "status": "matched", "matchKey": "w1:mainnet:...", "ticket": "<signed>", "side": "a", "opponent": { "mint": "...", "symbol": "..." } } }
status is waiting while nobody else is in line. An unpaired place in the queue expires after 90 seconds; a pairing stays claimable for 10 minutes. POST ?action=leave with {"coin":"<mint>"} gives the place up immediately.
Queueing does not grant entry. The arena still requires a holder pass for the coin you fight for, exactly as a coin's Holders world does, and that check runs server-side in the room.
Reporting. POST ?action=report is for the authoritative game server only: HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body in x-war-signature, keyed on WAR_RESULT_SECRET. It is idempotent on matchKey, so a retried report updates the row rather than counting a battle twice. Any unsigned or mis-signed request is 401.
Event Leaderboard API
GET /api/play/event-leaderboard
GET /api/play/event-leaderboard?account=<player-account>&limit=<1..100>
The live standing for the event quest line: during a platform event (the window in public/event.json) the /play jobs board carries a set of event-only jobs, and this is the ranking of who has completed the most of them. No auth, CORS open, cached 5 seconds at the edge.
Ranking is completions first, then total event gold earned, then the earlier finisher, then a stable id fallback. It is computed by multiplayer/src/event-leaderboard.js, the same module the in-world panel's rows come from, so the web and the world can never disagree.
account pins that player's own row into you even when they rank below the returned page; omit it for an anonymous read. limit defaults to 10 and clamps to 100. Account keys never appear in the response, only rank, display name and score.
Scores are written exclusively by the authoritative game server (through the world-service-token endpoint POST /api/internal/event-score, which additionally refuses any run reported outside the configured window). Nothing here grants anything: prizes are announced from this board and settled manually by the three.ws team after the event, never paid automatically or on-chain.

}
An event nobody has played yet is an empty board (top: [], players: 0) with a 200, not an error: render the "no runs yet" state rather than a failure. 404 no_event means no event is configured at all, which is what the live deployment answers between events.
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/play/event-leaderboard?limit=10'
Config API
GET /api/config
Returns public platform configuration. No auth required. CORS open.
Response
{
"walletConnectProjectId": "...",
"privyAppId": "...",
"samlEnabled": false,
"samlLabel": "Single sign-on (SSO)",
"pushEnabled": false,

"avatarReconstruct": true,
"avatarReconstructMode": "platform",
"avatarByokProviders": [],
"avatarRigging": true,
"videoAvatar": false,
"liveBodyMocap": false
}
}
features reports which optional avatar pipelines this deployment has configured, so clients can gate their UI honestly (e.g. avatarReconstructMode is "platform" when the server holds provider credentials, "byok" when the user must supply a key).
Version API
GET /api/version
Deployment traceability: which commit is live, and on which Cloud Run revision. No auth required. CORS open. Short-cached (10s) so a new deploy shows up promptly. The commit fields are stamped into the image at build time (dist/build-info.json, written by scripts/write-build-info.mjs); the runtime fields come from the Cloud Run platform env, so no deploy-time injection is needed.
Response
{
"status": "ok",
"version": "1.5.2",
"commit": "83368639e0a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
"commitShort": "83368639e",
"commitSubject": "feat(forge): auto-classify creations into categories",

"configuration": "three-ws-api",
"region": null,
"node": "v24.0.0",
"uptimeMs": 123456
}
}
stamped is false when the running image carries no build stamp (e.g. a build that skipped build:info); the commit fields are then best-effort from env. Use this to verify a deploy landed:
curl -s https://three.ws/api/version | jq '{commitShort, revision: .runtime.revision}'
The same stamp is served statically at /build-info.json.
Platform Stats API
GET /api/platform/stats
Aggregate, public-safe traction counters for the marketing home page, the monitor board, and any unauthenticated surface that wants to show real numbers. No auth, CORS open to any origin, every figure a count that exposes no individual user. Cached 5 minutes at the CDN and 5 minutes in the process, so a burst of home page hits costs one set of queries.
Response
{
"available": true,
"agents": 3140,
"views": 593,
"chats": 29,
"avatars": 25835,
"countries": 29,
"widgets": 613,
"chains": 12,
"generated": "2026-08-14T02:16:27.780Z"
}
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
agents | Live agent identities |
views | All-time widget views |
chats | All-time widget chat threads |
avatars | Avatars (GLBs) in the library |
countries | Distinct countries a widget view came from |
widgets | Live widgets |
chains | Mainnets carrying an indexed ERC-8004 agent, plus Solana |
chains is derived, never a constant: it counts the distinct chain ids in the
ERC-8004 index that the registry in api/_lib/erc8004-chains.js marks as
mainnet, and adds Solana when Solana carries at least one attestation. Testnet
ids (Sepolia, Base Sepolia, Amoy, Fuji) are excluded, which is why this reads
lower than the raw distinct-chain count in /api/home-stats.
When the database is unreachable
{ "available": false, "reason": "db_unavailable" }
Still 200, but cached for 15 seconds only. Check available before reading
any counter: this endpoint never substitutes a zero for a number it could not
count, so a failed read must not be rendered as "0 agents".
curl -s https://three.ws/api/platform/stats | jq 'select(.available) | {agents, avatars, chains}'
The sibling /api/home-stats uses the same available contract for the home
page strip (on-chain agents, attestations, forge models).
Unstoppable Agent API
The Unstoppable Agent is a self-funding autonomous agent: it owns a USDC treasury, earns by serving paid status checks over x402, spends on its own thinking within a budget, tracks its runway, and writes a strategic reflection once a day. Two endpoints expose the same state at two fidelities.
Public snapshot (free)
GET /api/agents/unstoppable-public
No auth, no payment, IP rate-limited, CORS open. Edge-cached for 300 seconds
(one agent tick) and trimmed to the 8 most recent activity rows. This is the
read the /unstoppable dashboard renders, so every visitor sees the agent's
real numbers without a wallet.

treasury.runway_days | Balance divided by the last-24h burn. 9999 means no burn was measured, not a 27-year runway. |
live_price_usdc | What the real-time reading costs over x402, so a client can quote it without probing for a 402 |
When the database is unreachable
{ "available": false, "reason": "db_unavailable", "live": false, "live_endpoint": "/api/agents/unstoppable-status" }
Still 200, cached 15 seconds. Check available before reading the treasury:
a failed read must never render as a broke agent, which is exactly what a
zeroed balance would look like.
curl -s https://three.ws/api/agents/unstoppable-public | jq 'select(.available) | {status, balance: .treasury.balance_usdc}'
Live reading (paid, $0.01 USDC)
GET /api/agents/unstoppable-status
x402-paid, Bazaar-discoverable, settles in USDC on Base or Solana. Same shape
as the snapshot plus activity_24h.action_count, and it carries 20 activity
rows instead of 8. Two differences matter: the reading is real-time rather than
tick-cached, and a settled payment calls recordRevenue(), so this is the only
read that extends the runway it reports. Without an X-PAYMENT header it
returns the standard 402 quote.
# First call returns 402 with the payment requirements
curl -s https://three.ws/api/agents/unstoppable-status
# Retry with the payment header for the live reading
curl -s https://three.ws/api/agents/unstoppable-status \
-H "X-Payment: <your-x402-payment-header>"
A caller with the x402:bypass scope is served free by the access-control hook
and is deliberately NOT credited as revenue: reporting money the agent never
earned would inflate the runway this endpoint exists to report honestly.
See agents/unstoppable/README.md for the tick lifecycle and the treasury rules.
Referrals API
Every three.ws account carries a referral code. A share link is any page URL
with ?ref=CODE on it. Two endpoints cover the loop: a public beacon that
records the visit, and an authenticated read that returns the sharer's card,
their referred users, and the funnel those visits roll up into.
Record a referral-link visit
POST /api/referral/visit
Public and unauthenticated by design: the visitor has no account yet. This is the top of the referral funnel, and without it only signups are visible, so the visit to signup conversion is unknowable.
public/referral-capture.js fires this automatically on the auth pages when a
?ref= parameter is present, so a normal three.ws share link needs no extra
wiring. Call it directly only if you are hosting your own landing page for a
three.ws referral link.
Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
code | string | Required. The referral code, 3-20 characters of A-Z0-9. Matched case-insensitively. |
Response
{ "ok": true }
curl -s -X POST https://three.ws/api/referral/visit \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"code":"ADA99"}'
Privacy and counting rules, both deliberate:
- No raw IP or user agent is stored. The visitor is identified only by
sha256(ip + user-agent + code). - A visitor counts once per code per UTC day. A refresh or a replay returns
200 {"ok": true}and writes nothing, so the funnel cannot be inflated by reloading a link. - An unknown code still records a visit with no referrer attached, so traffic on a dead or mistyped link stays visible instead of vanishing.
A malformed or missing code returns 400 invalid_code. A body the endpoint
cannot read at all is reported as its own failure rather than blamed on the
code: a request without content-type: application/json returns
415 unsupported_media_type, an unparseable body returns 400 bad_request, and
an oversized one returns 413 payload_too_large. The endpoint is rate limited
per IP; over the limit returns 429 with a retry-after header.
Get my referral card, referrals, and funnel
GET /api/users/referrals
Requires a session cookie or a bearer token. Returns the signed-in user's membership card, a paginated breakdown of who they referred and what those referrals earned them, and the share funnel built from the visit beacons above.
Query parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
limit | integer | Referred-user page size, 1-100 (default: 20) |
offset | integer | Referred-user page offset, >= 0 (default: 0) |
funnel_days | integer | Funnel lookback in days, 1-365 (default: 30) |

}
}
| Funnel field | Meaning |
|---|---|
visits | Deduped link visits recorded in the window |
signups | Accounts attributed to this referrer, created in the window |
activations | Referred users who reached their first creation in the window |
visit_to_signup_pct | signups / visits, one decimal |
signup_to_activation_pct | activations / signups, one decimal |
Both percentages are null, never 0, when the stage above them is empty, so a
brand-new sharer reads as "no data yet" rather than "0% conversion". Amounts
ending in _usd are dollars; the matching _total fields are atomic USDC units
(6 decimals).
curl -s -b cookies.txt 'https://three.ws/api/users/referrals?funnel_days=7' | jq .funnel
/dashboard/referrals renders exactly this payload.
Transaction API: build and explain
Three endpoints the in-app wallet and the chat wallet tools (chat/src/tools.js) use to prepare a transaction for the user's wallet to sign, and to read one back in plain English. The server never signs and never broadcasts: it returns unsigned bytes, and the wallet owns the approval.
Build a Solana transfer
POST /api/tx/solana/build-transfer
Session cookie required (401 unauthorized without one). Builds an unsigned legacy
transaction moving SOL or any SPL token from sender to recipient.
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
sender | string | required | Base58 wallet address. Also the fee payer. |
recipient | string | required | Base58 wallet address. |
amount | number | required | UI amount (SOL, or whole tokens), > 0 and at most 1e12. Converted to base units with fixed-point string math, so no float drift. |
token | string | SOL | SOL for a native transfer, otherwise the SPL mint address. |
memo | string | none | Attached as an SPL Memo instruction. Max 512 bytes. |
network | string | mainnet | mainnet or devnet. |
The mint's owning program is read from the chain, so Token-2022 mints work,
including $THREE and every other pump.fun-era launch. The transfer instruction is
TransferChecked, which Token-2022 mints carrying a transfer-fee extension require.
The recipient's associated token account is created in the same transaction when it
does not exist yet, paid for by the sender.
{
"transaction": "AQAAAAAA...",
"network": "mainnet",
"blockhash": "7yfLFPfbbzAk52tx5BxfsDcfrneAoJfwEihVJtnkM9ph",
"lastValidBlockHeight": 417508552
}
Deserialize transaction (base64), have the wallet sign it, then broadcast and
confirm against blockhash / lastValidBlockHeight.
Caller faults answer 4xx before anything is built, so a user is never asked to approve a transaction that can only fail:
| Code | Status | When |
|---|---|---|
validation_error | 400 | A field is missing or malformed (a non-base58 address, a non-positive amount, an oversized memo, an unknown network). issues[] names the field. |
invalid_mint | 400 | token is not on-chain, or is not an SPL mint. |
invalid_owner | 400 | sender or recipient is a program-derived address, which has no associated token account and no key to sign with. |
insufficient_balance | 400 | The sender holds less of the token than requested. |
invalid_amount | 400 | The amount rounds to zero at the mint's precision, or exceeds the lamport ceiling. |
upstream_error | 502 | Solana RPC would not answer. |
curl -s -X POST https://three.ws/api/tx/solana/build-transfer \
-H 'content-type: application/json' -b cookies.txt \
-d '{"sender":"<wallet>","recipient":"<wallet>","amount":0.1,"memo":"gm"}' | jq -r .blockhash
Build a Solana swap
POST /api/tx/solana/build-swap
Session cookie required. Quotes and builds an unsigned Jupiter swap through the shared lite-api client (api/_lib/token/jupiter.js).
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
sender | string | required | Base58 wallet address; the swap's userPublicKey. |
inputMint | string | required | Base58 mint to spend. Must differ from outputMint. |
outputMint | string | required | Base58 mint to receive. |
amount | number | required | UI amount of inputMint, > 0. Scaled by that mint's decimals. |
slippageBps | integer | 50 | 1 to 5000. |
network | string | mainnet | mainnet only. |
{
"transaction": "AQAAAAAA...",
"network": "mainnet",
"inputAmount": 0.01,
"outputAmount": 123.456789,
"outputMint": "FeMbDoX7R1Psc4GEcvJdsbNbZA3bfztcyDCatJVJpump",
"priceImpactPct": "0.12"
}
transaction is a base64 VersionedTransaction. no_route (422) means Jupiter
found no route for the pair and size, swap_failed (422) that it quoted but could
not build, invalid_route (400) that both mints are the same, and upstream_error
(502) that Jupiter was unreachable.
Explain a transaction
POST /api/tx/explain
No auth; IP rate-limited. Reads a confirmed transaction on Solana or Ethereum
mainnet and returns its transfers plus, when an LLM lane is configured, a one
paragraph plain-English summary.
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
chain | string | solana or evm. |
sig | string | Solana: a base58 signature that decodes to exactly 64 bytes. EVM: a 0x-prefixed 32-byte tx hash. |
Solana reads go to the Helius enhanced-transaction API and fall back to
getParsedTransaction over the rotating RPC chain, reconstructing transfers from
balance deltas. EVM reads walk a failover chain of Alchemy, any configured RPC, then
keyless public nodes, and decode ERC-20 Transfer logs.
{
"tokenTransfers": [],
"nativeTransfers": [{ "account": "<pubkey>", "amount": -5000 }],
"description": "",
"type": "",
"feePayer": "<pubkey>",
"source": "rpc-fallback",
"summary": "The account paid a 5,000 lamport fee ..."
}
A finished explanation is cached for 24 hours per chain:sig, so re-explaining the
same transaction costs nothing upstream. A malformed chain or sig is
400 bad_request and never reaches a billed upstream; an unknown transaction is
404 not_found; an RPC outage is 502 upstream_error; exhausting the shared
enhanced-API cost ceiling is 429.

Solana Actions API (Blinks)
three.ws publishes a Solana Action so "Claim Your 3D Avatar" unfurls as a Blink
card on X and in any Blink-aware wallet. /.well-known/solana/actions.json maps
/api/actions/** for Action clients, and the card's icon is a live headless
render of the avatar's own GLB rather than a static image.
Claim-avatar action
GET /api/actions/avatar?avatar=default
POST /api/actions/avatar?avatar=<avatarId>
No auth required. avatar is either default or an avatar UUID; anything else is
400 bad_request. An avatar that is private, deleted, or unknown is 404 not_found,
so a card never advertises a claim the viewer cannot complete. A named avatar's card
is titled with that avatar's name.
Responses carry x-action-version: 2.1.3 and x-blockchain-ids: solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp,
including on the OPTIONS preflight. Errors carry both the standard
error / error_description envelope and the Actions spec's message field.
GET response (ActionGetResponse):
{
"type": "action",
"icon": "https://three.ws/api/actions/avatar-icon?avatar=default",
"label": "Claim Avatar",
"title": "My 3D Avatar on three.ws",
"description": "Register your Solana wallet to this 3D avatar. ...",
"links": {
"actions": [
{ "type": "transaction", "label": "Claim This Avatar", "href": "/api/actions/avatar?avatar=default" }
]
}
}
POST body: { "account": "<wallet pubkey>" }. The account must be a base58
ed25519 public key that is on the curve; a program-derived address (which no key
can sign for) is rejected with 400 bad_request before any transaction is built.
POST response (ActionPostResponse): a base64 VersionedTransaction carrying a
single unsigned SPL Memo instruction. The server never signs; the wallet does.
{
"type": "transaction",
"transaction": "AQAAAAAA...",
"message": "Your 3D avatar identity is now recorded on Solana. Welcome to three.ws."
}
The memo payload is {"v":1,"action":"avatar-claim","avatar":"<avatarId>","site":"three.ws"}.
A Solana RPC that will not answer returns 503 rpc_unavailable.

Blink card icon
GET /api/actions/avatar-icon?avatar=default&pose=tpose&bg=%230a0a0a
Renders the avatar's GLB to a 512x512 image/png through headless chromium and
serves it with a one-day browser / one-week edge cache. No auth required; GET
and HEAD only, since every other method would boot a browser for nothing.
| Parameter | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
avatar | default | default or an avatar UUID. Anything else is 400. An avatar with no reachable model falls back to the default GLB. |
pose | none | A pose preset id from GET /api/render/avatar-clip. Anything that is not a preset-shaped id is 400. |
bg | #0a0a0a | A CSS color (hex, rgb()/rgba(), hsl()/hsla(), a named color) or transparent. Anything else is 400: this value is embedded in the renderer's page, so it is never passed through unchecked. |
Render failures surface the class of failure rather than one blanket code: 400
for an unfetchable GLB, 413 for one over the size cap, 502 for a renderer fault.
Forever API (Bitcoin inscriptions)
Backs the /forever page: a message is written into a Taproot witness on Bitcoin mainnet through OrdinalsBot, where it stays permanently. three.ws never custodies the payment. The order returns a Bitcoin charge address and the user pays it from their own wallet, so these endpoints only create and read orders.
Create an inscription order
POST /api/forever/inscribe
Requires auth (session cookie or bearer token) because each call spends the platform's OrdinalsBot quota. Rate limited to 10 orders per IP per 10 minutes.
Request body
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
message | yes | 1 to 1500 bytes of UTF-8 text. Trimmed before measuring. |
receiveAddress | no | The Taproot (bc1p...) address that receives the inscription. Validated all the way through its bech32m checksum, not just its shape, so a mistyped address is caught here instead of becoming an opaque upstream error. Defaults to BTC_INSCRIPTION_RECEIVE_ADDRESS. |
feeRate | no | Integer sats/vB, 1 to 200. Defaults to 8. |
Ordinals can only be received by Taproot wallets, so a legacy, SegWit v0, or
testnet address is a 400.

amount is in satoshis; amountBtc is the same figure in BTC. Pay either the
charge.address or the Lightning invoice when one is offered.
Errors: 400 (bad_request, invalid_message, invalid_receive_address,
invalid_fee_rate), 401 (unauthorized), 405, 429 (rate_limited for the
per-IP ceiling, upstream_rate_limited when OrdinalsBot throttles the platform
key), 502 (inscription_failed), 503 (no_receive_address,
invalid_vault_address).
Every OrdinalsBot fault is reported as 502, including the ones it returns as
HTTP 200 with {"status":"error"} or as a bare 404. Its status codes describe
its own proxy, not your request, so they are never passed through.
Read an inscription order
GET /api/forever/status?id=<orderId>
No auth: an order id is the bearer of its own status, and the pay screen polls this while the user waits on a Bitcoin confirmation. Rate limited to 200 reads per IP per 5 minutes, which clears a long wait in several tabs.

state is one of waiting-payment, payment-received, inscribing,
inscribed, failed. paid is true only for the three states that can be
reached after settlement, so a failed order (expired, cancelled, refunded) is
never reported as paid.
inscription.onchain is real Bitcoin confirmation depth for the reveal
transaction, read keyless from Blockstream Esplora so the caller sees actual
finality rather than the order's own state. It fails soft: while the reveal
transaction is unbroadcast or unindexed, or if Esplora is unreachable, it is
null and the rest of the response is unaffected.
Errors: 400 (missing_id, invalid_id), 404 (order_not_found), 405,
429 (rate_limited, upstream_rate_limited), 502 (status_lookup_failed).
An id that OrdinalsBot does not know is a 404, even though OrdinalsBot itself
reports it as HTTP 200 with {"status":"error","error":"invalid orderId"}.
Clients should treat 404 as terminal and stop polling.
Plugin Marketplace API
Tool plugins in the LobeHub / pai-chat ToolManifest format: the catalog behind
the plugin grid on /marketplace and the picker on an avatar's
own page (/avatars/<id>). A manifest declares an identifier, a meta.title, and a
non-empty api[] of tool definitions; the platform stores it verbatim and
re-serves it, so a client that understands the format can install straight from
a listing.
All five routes live in api/plugins/[action].js.
List plugins
GET /api/plugins
GET /api/plugins/list?category=&q=&sort=&cursor=&limit=
Public, unauthenticated. Both paths are the same handler; the bare collection path is the canonical one.
| Parameter | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
category | all | Exact category slug, as returned by /api/plugins/categories |
q | none | Case-insensitive substring match on name or description (first 80 chars used). Taken literally: % and _ are escaped, not treated as wildcards. |
sort | popular | popular (install count), new (newest first), or az (name). An unknown value falls back to popular. |
limit | 20 | 1 to 40 |
cursor | 0 | Opaque offset. Pass back the next_cursor from the previous page verbatim. |
cursor must be a non-negative integer; anything else is a 400
(validation_error), never a 500. next_cursor is null on the last page. The
sort is fully ordered (ties break on the plugin id), so paging through the whole
catalogue returns every plugin exactly once.
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/plugins/list?sort=az&limit=2' | jq '.data.items[].identifier'
{
"data": {
"items": [
{
"id": "764f3eb7-7691-485e-b147-53080bd9f5f9",
"identifier": "web-search",
"manifest_url": null,
"manifest_json": { "identifier": "web-search", "meta": {}, "api": [] },
"name": "Web Search",
"description": "Search the web for up-to-date information.",
"category": "web-search",
"tags": ["search", "web", "utility"],
"install_count": 0,
"avg_rating": 0,
"author": null,
"created_at": "2026-05-02T07:43:09.276Z",
"price": null
}
],
"next_cursor": "20"
}
}
author is null for the platform's built-in plugins. price is null unless
the plugin carries an active row in asset_prices.
Categories
GET /api/plugins/categories
Every category that has at least one public plugin, with its count, ordered by
count. Cached 60 seconds. {"data":{"categories":[{"slug":"tools","count":4}]}}.
Get a plugin
GET /api/plugins/:id
:id is the plugin UUID. A plugin published with is_public: false is visible
only to its author (session cookie or bearer token); to everyone else it is a
404, the same answer as an id that does not exist.
Record an install
POST /api/plugins/:id/install
Increments the public install counter. No auth: the marketplace fires it when a visitor installs a plugin into their own client.
{ "data": { "ok": true, "counted": true, "install_count": 4 } }
Deduplicated to one counted install per (IP, plugin) per 30 minutes. A repeat
inside that window is still a 200, with counted: false and the unchanged
total, so a client never has to special-case it. An unknown or non-visible
plugin is a 404.
Import a manifest by URL
POST /api/plugins/import
{ "manifest_url": "https://example.com/plugin.json" }
Fetches the URL server-side (so the browser is not blocked by the host's CORS
policy), validates it as a manifest, and returns it with a _manifest_url field
added. It writes nothing: the caller decides whether to install locally or
publish. 20 requests per 5 minutes per IP.
The fetch is SSRF-guarded. The host and every redirect hop is DNS-resolved and
checked before the socket opens, and private, loopback, link-local, and cloud
metadata ranges are refused (400, validation_error). The transfer is capped
at 64 KB and aborted mid-stream if the host exceeds it (422, fetch_failed).
Errors: 400 (missing / unparseable / non-http manifest_url, blocked
host), 422 (fetch_failed for a non-2xx or oversized response;
invalid_manifest when the response is not JSON at all, which is what linking a
repository page instead of the raw file produces, or when the JSON is not a
manifest), 429.
Publish a plugin
POST /api/plugins/publish
Requires authentication (session cookie or bearer token) and, for a cookie
session, an X-CSRF-Token header from GET /api/csrf-token. 30 per hour per
user.
{
"manifest_json": {
"identifier": "my-plugin",
"meta": { "title": "My Plugin", "description": "Does a thing.", "category": "tools" },
"api": [{ "name": "do_thing", "description": "Does the thing" }]
},
"manifest_url": "https://example.com/plugin.json",
"is_public": true
}
An upsert on (identifier, author_id), so re-publishing the same identifier
updates your existing row rather than creating a second one. is_public: false
keeps the plugin out of the list and the category counts and restricts detail
reads to you. Responds with the same plugin shape the list returns.
Manifest rules: identifier is required, alphanumeric plus ., -, _,
and at most 128 characters; meta.title is required; api must be a non-empty
array of at most 100 tool objects. Each tool needs a name of 1 to 64 letters,
digits, underscores, or hyphens (the charset every model provider accepts for a
tool definition, since installers pass these straight through) and a non-empty
description of at most 1024 characters. The whole manifest must serialize to
64 KB or less, the same ceiling the import fetch enforces, because it is stored
verbatim and re-served on every read. A violation is a 422
(invalid_manifest) naming the specific rule.
Errors: 401 (no auth), 403 (csrf_missing / csrf_invalid), 400
(malformed body), 413 (body over the manifest ceiling), 422
(invalid_manifest), 429.
IPFS Pinning API
Puts bytes on IPFS and reports whether they are still held there. Both actions
live in api/pinning/[action].js.
The pinning credential is server-held and never reaches the browser, which is
the whole reason this endpoint exists: the Avatar Studio mint flow
(character-studio/src/library/mint-utils.js) posts an avatar here instead of
talking to a pinning provider directly. Providers are tried in order, Pinata
first and web3.storage second, matching api/_lib/ipfs-pin.js.
Pin a file
POST /api/pinning/pin
Authenticated: a session cookie or a bearer token. Rate limited to 30 pins per hour per user.
| Field | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
sourceUrl | yes | Either a data: URL carrying the bytes inline, or an https:// URL on the platform's own storage domain. Any other host is a 400. |
kind | yes | glb or manifest. Anything else is a 400. |
filename | no | The name filed at the provider. Reduced to A-Za-z0-9._- and capped at 128 characters; a value that survives none of that, or is not a string, falls back to avatar.glb or manifest.json by kind. Omitted on a storage-URL pin, the object's own key is used. |
Three size ceilings apply, and they are different numbers because they bound different things:
| Ceiling | Value | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Request body | 8 MB | The whole JSON document, enforced by the server for every endpoint |
| Inline payload | 5 MB | The decoded bytes of a data: URL. Base64 inflates raw bytes by 4/3, so 5 MB of payload is about 6.7 MB of body |
| Storage source | 50 MB | The object fetched from an https:// source URL |
Anything larger than the inline ceiling should be uploaded to storage first and pinned by URL, which is what the 50 MB lane is for.
curl -X POST https://three.ws/api/pinning/pin \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $THREE_WS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"sourceUrl":"data:application/json;base64,eyJuYW1lIjoiS25pZ2h0In0=","kind":"manifest","filename":"knight.json"}'
{
"ok": true,
"cid": "QmYazpLPRXtuBsCQk64LpXohMxSGJa3RoQTx9fckJgPY9o",
"gatewayUrl": "https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYazpLPRXtuBsCQk64LpXohMxSGJa3RoQTx9fckJgPY9o",
"gatewayUrls": [
"https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYazpLPRXtuBsCQk64LpXohMxSGJa3RoQTx9fckJgPY9o",

"https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmYazpLPRXtuBsCQk64LpXohMxSGJa3RoQTx9fckJgPY9o"
],
"provider": "pinata"
}
gatewayUrl is the single canonical read URL; gatewayUrls is every gateway
worth trying. A freshly pinned CID takes minutes to propagate across the public
network, so the provider's own gateway (last in the list) is the one guaranteed
to serve it immediately.
Errors: 400 (validation_error: missing sourceUrl, bad kind,
malformed data: URL, or a source host the platform does not own), 401
(unauthorized), 413 (payload_too_large, naming the ceiling that was
crossed), 415 (body was not JSON), 429 (rate_limited), 502
(fetch_failed: the source URL was unreachable or redirected), 503
(pinning_unconfigured).
A request that is malformed always answers 4xx, including on a deployment
with no provider configured: the 503 is reached only once the request itself
is known to be valid.
Check whether a CID is still pinned
GET /api/pinning/status?cid=<cid>
Public, unauthenticated, rate limited by IP. cid must be 16 to 128
alphanumeric characters.
curl "https://three.ws/api/pinning/status?cid=QmYazpLPRXtuBsCQk64LpXohMxSGJa3RoQTx9fckJgPY9o"
{
"cid": "QmYazpLPRXtuBsCQk64LpXohMxSGJa3RoQTx9fckJgPY9o",
"pinned": true,
"provider": "pinata",
"unreachableProviders": [],
"gatewayUrls": ["https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYazpLPRXtuBsCQk64LpXohMxSGJa3RoQTx9fckJgPY9o"]
}
pinned: false means every provider that answered said it is not holding the
CID. It never means "we could not tell": a provider that failed to answer is
named in unreachableProviders instead, and if none of them answered the
response is a 503 (pinning_check_failed) rather than a 200. Treat
unreachableProviders as non-empty before acting on pinned: false, because a
partial answer is still a partial answer.
Errors: 400 (validation_error: missing or out-of-bounds cid), 429
(rate_limited), 503 (pinning_unconfigured or pinning_check_failed).
Image proxy API
GET /api/img?url=<https-or-ipfs-image-url>
GET /api/img?url=<image-url>&w=480
GET /api/img?meta=<token-metadata-json-url>
GET /api/img?seed=<any-string>
GET /api/img?url=<image-url>&fallback=none
Same-origin delivery for remote artwork, so the browser only ever talks to
three.ws. The upstream is fetched server-side through the SSRF-hardened
fetcher (public hosts only, 8 MB cap, one shared 25 s budget); an IPFS URL is
raced across several public gateways and the first valid image wins; a
?url= that turns out to be a token metadata document is followed one hop to
its image field (?meta= says so explicitly). When every source fails the
endpoint still answers 200 with a deterministic, on-brand SVG placeholder
derived from the seed, so an <img> or a Three.js texture loader never logs an
error.
w asks for a resized copy: the image is scaled to at most that width (never
enlarged) and re-encoded as WebP at quality 82. Widths snap up to a fixed
ladder (64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 320, 480, 640, 960), so a gallery cannot mint
an unbounded set of variants at the edge. Only rasters are resized (PNG, JPEG,
WebP, AVIF, TIFF); an SVG or GIF, or a file the resizer cannot decode, comes
back as the original bytes. Ask for the width the box paints at 2x: the Forge
showcase requests w=480 for a card that renders at roughly 240 px, which
turns a 1 MB stored render into a 20-40 KB tile
(src/shared/image-url.js builds the URL and
leaves same-origin, data: and blob: sources untouched).
fallback=none opts out of the placeholder: when every source fails the
endpoint answers 204 No Content with an empty body instead of the SVG. Use it
on a surface that already draws its own "no image" state, which is what the DeFi
logo tables (/fees, /defi, /dex-volumes, /chain/:name, /protocol/:slug,
/exchange/:id) do: a protocol icon DeFiLlama has withdrawn should become the
neutral disc those tables already render for a logo-less row, not token art from
a different visual language. 204 rather than 404 because a retired upstream
icon is an ordinary outcome, not an error: the browser logs nothing for a 204,
while the <img> still fires error with no bytes, so the designed fallback
runs. Leave the flag off for artwork, which wants the placeholder.
src/shared/upstream-logo.js builds these URLs
and installs the swap-to-disc handler.
Real images are cached immutably (max-age=86400, s-maxage=604800, immutable):
the same upstream URL at the same width is the same bytes forever, so route a
URL through here only when its content never changes in place. Placeholders
cache for 5 minutes at the browser and an hour at the edge so a transiently
down source can recover. Rate limit: 300 requests per 5 minutes per IP.
Subscriptions API
Recurring creator subscriptions. A creator publishes one or more plans
(tiers); a subscriber joins one either through the x402 renewal-intent path
(POST /api/subscriptions) or the Solana USDC checkout
(/api/subscriptions/subscribe then /api/subscriptions/verify).
All ids are UUIDs. A malformed id answers 400 validation_error, never a 5xx.
Session-cookie mutations require an X-CSRF-Token header (see
Authentication); bearer-token callers are exempt.
List plans
GET /api/subscriptions/plans?creator_id=<uuid>
GET /api/subscriptions/plans?agent_id=<uuid>
Public. Exactly one of creator_id or agent_id is required. Only active plans
are returned; the plan's own creator may add include_inactive=1 to also receive
their drafts.
{
"plans": [
{
"id": "735977d9-289d-4517-8ac4-68e97c649de8",
"creator_id": "f23703c0-9d75-4e60-9a4c-349da5d7a2f2",
"agent_id": null,
"name": "Supporter",
"price_usd": "9.99",
"interval": "monthly",
"perks": ["priority support"],
"included_skills": [],
"active": true,
"created_at": "2026-08-16T06:16:24.604Z"
}
]
}
Errors: 400 (validation_error: neither id given, or a non-UUID),
429 (rate_limited).
Get one plan
GET /api/subscriptions/plans/:id
Public for an active plan. A deactivated plan (draft) is served only to its
creator; everyone else gets 404, so a draft's existence never leaks.
Response: { "plan": { … } }, same shape as a list entry.
Errors: 400 (validation_error), 404 (not_found), 429.
Create a plan
POST /api/subscriptions/plans
Requires auth. A creator may hold at most 3 active plans; drafts
(active: false) do not consume a slot.
Request body
{
"agent_id": "717e68f1-e0c2-41ee-8ff7-6801a83206c9",
"name": "Supporter",
"price_usd": 9.99,
"interval": "monthly",
"perks": ["priority support"],
"included_skills": [],
"active": true
}
name is 2 to 80 characters, price_usd is 0.99 to 999, interval is
weekly or monthly (default monthly), perks is up to 10 strings,
included_skills up to 50. agent_id is optional and must be an agent you own.
Response (201): { "plan": { … } }
Errors: 400 (validation_error), 401 (unauthorized), 403
(csrf_missing / csrf_invalid, or forbidden when agent_id is not yours),
409 (conflict: the 3-active-plan cap), 429.
Update a plan
PATCH /api/subscriptions/plans/:id
PUT /api/subscriptions/plans/:id
Requires auth, creator only. Both verbs behave identically: the body is a
partial update, and any field left out is untouched. PUT is accepted because
the dashboard plan editor saves with it.
Request body: any subset of name, price_usd, interval, perks,
included_skills, active.
Response: { "plan": { … } }
Errors: 400 (validation_error, including an empty body: "nothing to
update"), 401, 403, 404 (not_found: unknown plan, or not yours), 409
(reactivating past the 3-active cap).
Deactivate a plan
DELETE /api/subscriptions/plans/:id
Requires auth, creator only. A soft delete: the row stays and active flips to
false, so existing subscribers keep their record and the plan can be
reactivated with PATCH { "active": true }.
Response: { "ok": true }
Errors: 400, 401, 403, 404.
Subscribe (x402 renewal intent)
POST /api/subscriptions
Requires auth. Creates or reactivates the subscription immediately and then raises a payable intent for the first period. Payment is request-based (x402): the server never pulls funds, it hands back what the subscriber owes.
Request body
{ "plan_id": "735977d9-289d-4517-8ac4-68e97c649de8", "wallet_address": "<solana pubkey>" }
Response (201)
{
"subscription": {
"id": "7c8e0051-0279-484a-b7d5-a19d821ade61",
"plan_id": "735977d9-289d-4517-8ac4-68e97c649de8",
"status": "active",
"current_period_end": "2026-09-15T06:16:50.257Z",
"payment_method": "x402"
},
"payment": { "pending": true, "paymentId": "…", "payUrl": "https://three.ws/pay/…" }
}
payment reports the first charge attempt and is informational: a plan whose
creator has no payout wallet answers { "success": false, "error": "creator_payout_wallet_missing" } while the subscription itself is still
created.
Errors: 400, 401, 403, 404 (not_found: unknown plan), 409
(conflict: plan deactivated, your own plan, or already subscribed), 429.
My subscriptions
GET /api/subscriptions/mine
Requires auth. Every subscription the caller holds, newest first, joined with the plan name/price/interval and the creator's display name.
{ "subscriptions": [ { "id": "…", "status": "active", "plan_name": "Supporter", "price_usd": "9.99", "creator_name": "…" } ] }
Subscription detail
GET /api/subscriptions/:id
Requires auth. Readable by the subscriber or the plan's creator; anyone else
gets 404.
Cancel a subscription
DELETE /api/subscriptions/:id
Requires auth, subscriber only. Sets status = 'cancelled' and stamps
cancelled_at; the record is kept so the period already paid for stays
auditable. Re-subscribing to the same plan reactivates this row.
Response: { "ok": true, "subscription": { "id": "…", "status": "cancelled" } }
Solana USDC checkout: quote
POST /api/subscriptions/subscribe
Requires auth. Quotes the exact USDC split for one period, persists a pending
checkout with a Solana-Pay reference, and returns a base64
VersionedTransaction for the buyer's wallet to sign and broadcast. The
platform pre-signs as fee payer when a payer keypair is configured, so the
subscriber needs no SOL.
Request body
{ "tierId": "735977d9-289d-4517-8ac4-68e97c649de8", "buyerPublicKey": "<solana pubkey>" }
Response (200)
{
"data": {
"transaction": "<base64 VersionedTransaction>",
"reference": "7qhfZb3yGi93qw3gp7KhbEwbmiXCQYdS5w3iCgG8azYs",
"recipient": "<creator payout address>",
"amount": "9990000",
"creator_amount": "9990000",
"currency_mint": "EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v",
"mint_decimals": 6,
"gasless": false,
"label": "Subscribe: Supporter",
"message": "Subscribe to 'Supporter' (monthly)",
"tier": { "id": "…", "name": "Supporter", "price_usd": 9.99, "interval": "monthly" }
}
}
Amounts are USDC atomic units (6 decimals). When a platform fee applies, a
fee block carries its recipient, amount and bps, and creator_amount is the
remainder. Calling twice inside the 30-minute window reuses the same pending
checkout rather than minting a second one.
Errors: 400 (validation_error), 401, 403, 404 (not_found),
409 (conflict: tier inactive or your own; already_subscribed), 412
(creator_wallet_missing), 429.
Solana USDC checkout: verify
POST /api/subscriptions/verify
Requires auth. Validates the broadcast transaction against the persisted quote (never the client's numbers) and, on success, activates the subscription, writes the first-period payment row, and opens the skill-access gate.
Request body
{ "tierId": "735977d9-289d-4517-8ac4-68e97c649de8", "transactionSignature": "<base58 signature>" }
transactionSignature is optional: without it the chain is scanned by the
checkout's reference key.
Response (200)
{
"data": {
"success": true,
"status": "active",
"subscription": { "id": "…", "current_period_end": "2026-09-15T06:16:50.257Z" },
"tx_signature": "…"
}
}
While the transaction is not yet visible on chain the response is
200 { "data": { "status": "pending" } }; poll until it settles. Verifying an
already-confirmed checkout is idempotent and returns the live subscription.
Errors: 400, 401, 403, 404 (no_pending_checkout), 409
(checkout_closed, or transfer_mismatch when the on-chain transfer does not
match the quote), 410 (checkout_expired), 429.
EVM RPC proxy
POST /api/evm-rpc?chainId=<id>
A browser-safe, read-only Ethereum JSON-RPC proxy. Browser code that reads a
contract used to call a keyless public host directly, which meant every page
depended on one endpoint staying up. Posting through this proxy instead
inherits the server's failover chain for that chain: an explicit
RPC_URL_<chainId> override first, then Alchemy where a key is configured,
then the curated public tail, rotating to the next endpoint whenever one fails.
No auth required. chainId must be a supported EVM chain (the same set
/api/erc8004/chains lists).
Request Any single JSON-RPC call, or a batch of up to 10:
curl -s 'https://three.ws/api/evm-rpc?chainId=8453' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[]}'
Response The upstream JSON-RPC envelope, unchanged:
{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "0x1a2b3c" }
Allowed methods. Reads only: eth_call, eth_getBalance,
eth_blockNumber, eth_getLogs, eth_getTransactionReceipt,
eth_getTransactionByHash, eth_chainId, eth_estimateGas, eth_getCode,
eth_getStorageAt, net_version, eth_gasPrice, eth_feeHistory,
eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas, eth_getBlockByNumber. Anything that broadcasts a
transaction or opens a filter or subscription is refused: sign and send
transactions from the user's own wallet, not through this proxy.
Errors
| Status | error | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | unknown_chain | chainId missing or not a supported EVM chain |
| 400 | bad_body | body was not valid JSON |
| 400 | batch_too_large | more than 10 calls in one batch |
| 403 | method_not_allowed | method is not on the read-only allowlist |
| 429 | rate_limited | per-IP or global RPC budget exhausted |
| 502 | no_upstream / upstream_error | no endpoint configured, or every endpoint for that chain failed |
Browser code should use src/shared/evm-rpc-fallback.js, which builds a
provider that tries this proxy first and falls back to public hosts when the
page is embedded on a third-party origin.
Seeker verification
Prove that a signed-in user owns a Solana Seeker phone. Every Seeker mints one soulbound Seeker Genesis Token (a Token-2022 token) into its owner's wallet; a user who holds it in a wallet linked to their three.ws account gets the "Seeker verified" badge. Verification scans the wallet through Helius (getTokenAccountsByOwnerV2) and checks the token's mint against the official Seeker mint authority (GT2zuHVaZQYZSyQMgJPLzvkmyztfyXg2NJunqFp4p3A4) and token group (GT22s89nU4iWFkNXj1Bw6uYhJJWDRPpShHt4Bk8f99Te). A wallet must be linked first (Sign-In with Solana, /api/auth/siws/*).
Seeker status
GET /api/seeker/status
Requires a session. Returns what the platform already knows; no RPC call is made.
Response
{
"verified": true,
"wallets": [
{ "address": "7Gq...seekerWallet", "tokenMint": "5Hn...deviceMint", "verifiedAt": "2026-08-27T12:00:00.000Z" }
],
"linkedSolanaWallets": ["7Gq...seekerWallet", "9Ab...otherWallet"]
}
Verify Seeker ownership
POST /api/seeker/verify
Requires a session. Rate limited. Scans every linked Solana wallet (or only wallet, when given) for a Seeker Genesis Token, records each wallet that holds one, and forgets any previously verified wallet that no longer does.
Request body (optional)
{ "wallet": "7Gq...seekerWallet" }
Response: the same shape as GET /api/seeker/status plus checked, the number of wallets scanned.
{
"verified": true,
"wallets": [{ "address": "7Gq...seekerWallet", "tokenMint": "5Hn...deviceMint", "verifiedAt": "2026-08-27T12:00:00.000Z" }],

Herald API: deliver a message in person
The rail behind @three-ws/herald. Anything that can make an HTTPS request posts a line here, and the browser tab the caller has open says it out loud through their 3D companion.
An announcement is always delivered to the authenticated caller's own sessions. There is no recipient field, so a key can never be used to interrupt somebody else.
Announce
POST /api/herald/announce
Auth: a signed-in session, or a Bearer API key carrying the herald:announce
scope (mint one at /dashboard/developers). Rate limit: 60 per minute per
account.
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
text (alias message) | string, 1-280 | Required. The line to say. |
from | string, max 60 | Attribution, spoken with the line. |
importance | int 0-100 | Default 70. The receiving client applies its own floor. |
url | string, max 2048 | Same-origin path or absolute http(s); anything else is dropped. |
tone | neutral | alert | celebrate | error | Default alert. |
emote | string, max 40 | wave, dance, punch, backflip. |
key | string, max 120 | Dedupe key; two announcements sharing one are said once. |
meta | object | Passed through to the client untouched. |

Listen
GET /api/herald/stream
Server-sent events, session-cookie auth only (writing is for machines,
listening is for the person at the browser). Emits open once, then one
announce per queued line, with a ping every 15 seconds. The queue is
drained rather than broadcast, so a line is said by exactly one open tab, and
an undelivered one expires after about five minutes.

Glance API
One agent reduced to what fits in an operating-system widget slot: name, avatar, one live number (moves in the last 24 hours), and a link back. Powers the Windows 11 widget, the Android home screen widget, the macOS and iOS WidgetKit widget, README badges and the <agent-glance> element. Spec: specs/GLANCE_CARD.md. Guide: glance.md, native-widgets.md.
Public card
GET /api/glance/card?agent=<uuid>&format=json|svg|png|adaptive&size=small|medium|large&theme=auto|light|dark&scale=1|2|3
No auth. json is the card model, svg a self-contained image, png a bitmap (scale is pixel density, theme resolves auto to dark), adaptive a bound Adaptive Card 1.6. Carries an ETag and answers 304 to if-none-match. An unknown agent answers 404; for svg and png the body is still a real card that says so.
My card
GET /api/glance/mine?format=json|png&agent=<uuid>&size=…&theme=dark|light&scale=…&platform=android|ios|macos
Authorization: Bearer glw_… (widget token) or the session cookie
Always 200. JSON: { signedIn, state, via, card, notice, agents, signInUrl, createUrl, linkUrl }, state one of agent, signed-out, unlinked, no-agent. PNG: the card bitmap for whichever state applies, with x-glance-state, x-glance-url (tap target), x-glance-name, x-glance-metric, x-glance-agent, x-glance-updated headers. platform narrows nothing but the tap target of a notice card: ios and macos point an unlinked widget at the Apple hand-off on /glance, anything else (including omitting it, which is what the shipped Android app does) points at the Android one. cache-control: private, no-store.
Widget tokens
POST /api/glance/token { label?, platform?: android|macos|ios|other, agent?: uuid }
GET /api/glance/token
PATCH /api/glance/token { id, agent: uuid|null }
DELETE /api/glance/token?id=<uuid>
Session cookie required; writes must be same-site. POST answers 201 with { id, prefix, label, platform, agentId, createdAt, lastUsedAt, token, links: { android, apple } }. token is shown exactly once; links.android is the intent://glance/link?token=…#Intent;scheme=threews;package=ws.three.app;…;end URL that hands it to the Android app, and links.apple is the threews://glance/link?token=… URL the macOS and iOS apps claim natively. At most 12 live tokens per account (409 too_many_tokens). GET answers { tokens: [...] } without plaintexts. DELETE answers { revoked: true, id }, or 404 for an id that is not the caller's live token.
| Error | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
unauthorized | 401 | no session |
forbidden | 403 | write from another origin |
not_found | 404 | token or agent is not the caller's |
too_many_tokens | 409 | 12 live tokens already |
rate_limited | 429 | over the per-account write limit |
Home API
Read and act on a Home Assistant house the account has connected. Session-authenticated from a
browser; bearer principals (OAuth, API key) may read with home:read and act with home:act, but
no bearer may ever confirm a guarded action.
Both scopes are enforced on every route here, not only on the MCP tools: a read needs home:read,
anything that changes a house (acting, activating a scene, grants, layout, roster, disconnect)
needs home:act, and a token holding neither is answered 403 insufficient_scope before the home
is even looked up. Confirming is separate and is not a scope at all: confirmed: true in the body
of /call or /activate, like the /confirm route itself, is refused for any principal that is
not a browser session (403 confirmation_requires_session). A bearer caller asking without the
flag still gets the ordinary 409 needs_confirmation, which is the answer to route to a person.
Every failure carries a stable code alongside the message: bad_url, auth, unreachable,
needs_confirmation, no_mcp, call_failed, not_connected. Branch on the code, show the
message. Full walkthrough: Connect your home.
The physical-action gate applies to every route here. Locking, closing and arming run immediately and never prompt. Unlocking, opening a door, gate or garage, and disarming do not run from an agent call at all: they mint a pending confirmation that a person redeems in a session.
List connected homes
GET /api/home
Returns every home this account has connected, credential-free: the stored access token is never in a response, on any route.
{
"homes": [
{
"id": "e33233a2-94ca-4f5e-8f62-223a30ea971b",
"label": "Tutorial house",
"base_url": "https://abc123.ui.nabu.casa",
"status": "connected",
"transport": "direct",
"capabilities": { "mcp": true }
}
]
}
Connect a home
POST /api/home
Body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
baseUrl | string | Required. The instance's base URL, reachable over https |
token | string | Required. A Home Assistant long-lived access token |
label | string | Optional. Defaults to the host |
Three things happen in a fixed order, and the order does not change: the URL shape is validated
before any socket opens, the instance is measured for real (version, entity count, areas,
floors, whether mcp_server answers), and only then is the token encrypted and the row written. A
house that could not be reached never becomes a stored credential.
A private address is refused up front rather than after a timeout:
{
"error": "unreachable",
"code": "unreachable",
"message": "192.168.1.40 is a private address. A three.ws server on the public internet cannot route to it. Use your remote https URL, or connect the add-on so your house dials out to us instead."
}
A home whose mcp_server integration is off is not an error. It connects, stores, and comes
back with capabilities.mcp === false.
Get one home
GET /api/home/:id
The connection record plus a live room-graph snapshot. It answers even when the house is unreachable, because a person needs to see the record in order to fix it.
Disconnect a home
DELETE /api/home/:id
Soft-deletes the row and destroys the stored credential. It also closes the
pooled connection to that house and ends every open stream for it, so a page
that was already watching learns the home is gone instead of holding the last
state it saw behind a "Live" badge.
Live state
GET /api/home/:id/stream
Server-Sent Events.
| Event | When |
|---|---|
graph | On open, and on every coalesced room-graph rebuild |
status | On open, on disconnect, on reconnect |
heartbeat | Every 25 s, because idle proxies close silent streams |
A status frame carries status, connected, stale and an optional detail
sentence. status: "revoked" is terminal: the home was disconnected, this frame
is the last one, and the server ends the stream immediately after it. Do not
reconnect on it. The row is gone, so a retry answers 404.
Under severe load, stream admission is limited before action admission: someone asking to unlock a door is served before someone watching a dashboard.
Call a service
POST /api/home/:id/call
Body: { domain, service, data, confirmed }
confirmed is the browser's redemption of a confirmation a person already approved. It is never
set from model output, and a bearer principal cannot use it.
A guarded call returns a pending confirmation rather than acting:
{
"code": "needs_confirmation",
"pending": { "id": "...", "domain": "lock", "service": "unlock", "risk": "security", "entityId": "lock.front_door" }
}
Activate a scene
POST /api/home/:id/activate
Body: { phrase, dryRun, confirmed }
Resolves a phrase like "good night" to a scene or script the household already built, then runs
it. A phrase that matches nothing runs nothing. dryRun resolves without running.
Confirm a physical action
POST /api/home/:id/confirm
GET /api/home/:id/confirm
The narrowest endpoint on the platform, and the only one that can let an unlock through.
- No bearer, ever. An OAuth or API-key principal is refused first, even one carrying
home:act.home:actauthorises asking; it never authorises answering. - Session plus CSRF. A cookie alone is not intent, and a cookie a third-party page can make the browser send is the shape of "a website unlocked my front door".
- The id is the whole request. No domain, no service, no entity, no
confirmed: the action was frozen server-side when the confirmation was minted and is read back from that row.
GET lists what is currently waiting, so a chat card or a voice prompt that lost its state can
recover without minting anything new. Confirmations expire in 90 seconds.
Standing allowances
GET /api/home/:id/grants
POST /api/home/:id/grants
DELETE /api/home/:id/grants
DELETE /api/home/:id/grants/:entityId
What the agent may do in this house without asking again. A grant is per entity, optionally
until a date. Allowing lock.office_door does not allow lock.front_door.
POST takes { entity_id, expires_at }. expires_at is optional (omit it for "until
withdrawn"), must be in the future, and may not be more than a year out. A domain on its own is
refused with validation_error: there is no such thing as a grant over lock.
Withdrawal has two spellings on purpose, because the half of a permission system that takes a
key back has to be trivially reachable: the path form, and DELETE .../grants?entity_id=. The
query form also covers ids a path segment cannot carry, such as a script literally named js.
Both DELETE forms are idempotent and answer 200 either way. changed says whether this call
was the one that did it:
{ "revoked": true, "changed": false, "entity_id": "lock.office_door" }
A withdrawal takes effect on the next call, not on the next socket. The allowances are read from the store on every action, so a grant taken back thirty seconds ago cannot be honoured by a connection that was pooled while it was still live.
The house's own scenes and scripts
GET /api/home/:id/macros
Every scene.* and script.* the household already built, plus the six canonical macros (good
night, leaving, arriving, morning, movie, focus) annotated with what this particular house has
for each. A macro with no match comes back as "match": null, which is a measured statement
about the house rather than a guess:
{
"macros": [{ "entity_id": "scene.good_night", "name": "Good Night", "kind": "scene" }],
"canonical": [
{ "id": "good_night", "label": "Good night", "example_phrase": "good night",
"match": { "entity_id": "scene.good_night", "name": "Good Night", "kind": "scene" } },
{ "id": "movie", "label": "Movie time", "example_phrase": "movie time", "match": null }
]
}
This is what lets a connect screen say "you have no Leaving scene, here is what one usually does" instead of showing an empty list and no next step.
The floorplan
GET /api/home/:id/layout
PUT /api/home/:id/layout
DELETE /api/home/:id/layout
Home Assistant knows which room a device is in and has no idea where that room is: there is no geometry anywhere in its registries. The 3D house packs rooms into a default grid so it is useful the moment a home connects, and this is the plan a person drew on top of that.
A layout is never required. No row is the ordinary state, and every response shape below handles a house with no plan, a plan covering only some rooms, and a plan naming a room the house no longer has.
{
"version": 3,
"layout": {
"format": 1,
"units": "m",
"rooms": { "kitchen": { "x": 0, "z": 0, "w": 5.7, "d": 4.2 } }
},
"orphaned": ["spare_room"],
"unplaced": ["garage"],
"driftKnown": true
}
x and z are the room's centre on its floor, in metres; w and d are its footprint, and
either may be absent to keep the default. orphaned names rooms in the plan that the house no
longer has (an area deleted in Home Assistant) and unplaced names rooms nobody has drawn yet.
driftKnown is false when the house could not be reached to compare, which is why a floorplan
stays editable while a home is offline.
Reading needs read; writing needs the layout capability, so a guest sees the plan and
cannot redraw somebody's home.
A PUT carries the version it loaded, or 0 to create the first plan:
{ "version": 3, "layout": { "rooms": { "kitchen": { "x": 0, "z": 0 } } } }
A stale version returns 409 with the document that won attached, so a client can offer a real choice rather than a bare failure:
{
"error": "Someone else changed this floorplan while you were drawing.",
"code": "layout_conflict",
"current": { "version": 4, "layout": { } }
}
Two people can edit one house, and a version check beats a last-write-wins timestamp here because clock skew between two browsers is real and the loser of a millisecond should not lose their afternoon. Nothing is merged automatically and nothing is silently overwritten.
The document is validated on write and on read, against hard caps (200 rooms, 500 m from
the origin per axis, rooms between 1.5 m and 60 m, 64 KB). Every cap is a refusal rather than a
clamp: silently moving a room somebody placed is worse than telling them the number was
rejected. A stored plan that a later cap would now refuse comes back with unreadable set and
an empty room map, so one bad document degrades to the default grid instead of taking a page
down.
Filing a device into a room
POST /api/home/:id/assign
{ "entityId": "light.kitchen_lights", "areaId": "kitchen" }
Writes the area into the user's own Home Assistant registry
(config/entity_registry/update), not into a picture of it here. The room then shows up in
their dashboards, their voice assistant and their automations, and the work survives them never
opening three.ws again. Pass areaId: null to take a device out of every room.
Not a guarded action: nothing moves, nothing opens, and it is two clicks to reverse in their own
Home Assistant. It still needs the layout capability and a CSRF token, and it still writes a
home_action_log row.
An entity defined in YAML never reaches the entity registry, which is the common case rather
than an edge one for template and demo entities. Those return call_failed with a sentence
naming the reason, not a raw protocol error.
A scoped member is checked twice: against the entity's current area and against the destination, so they can neither map the house one refusal at a time nor move a device somewhere they could no longer reach it.
Making a room
POST /api/home/:id/areas
{ "name": "Kitchen" }
{ "ok": true, "area": { "id": "kitchen", "name": "Kitchen", "floorId": null, "created": true } }
Creates the area in the user's own Home Assistant (config/area_registry/create) and
answers 201 when it made one, 200 when an area by that name already existed. A duplicate
name is not an error: the room the caller asked for is there, which is what they wanted, and the
existing id comes back so a client can carry straight on and file devices into it.
This is the way out of the most common real Home Assistant there is: one where nothing has ever been assigned to an area, so every room-shaped surface has nothing to draw. Without it the only advice a client can give is "go and make areas in Home Assistant's settings first", which is a chore people leave to do and do not come back from. The floorplan editor calls this instead, and files the device that prompted the room in the same step.
Same rules as filing a device: not a guarded action (an empty area is two clicks to delete in
their own UI), and it still needs the layout capability, a CSRF token, and a home_action_log
row. A scoped member is refused with scope_forbidden: a brand new room belongs to no scope
by definition, so they would create something they could not then see, place or file into.
Names are trimmed and capped at 64 characters; an empty one returns name_required.
The action log
GET /api/home/:id/log?limit=50&before=<iso timestamp>
Every write the platform has performed against this house, newest first, including the ones it refused. A refused unlock is the most important row in this table: it is the evidence the gate held.
Session only. A bearer principal that can act cannot read this, because the log is a record of when somebody was home and which doors opened when, and being allowed to turn on a light is not the same permission as reading the history of everything that ever happened in a building.
{
"actions": [
{
"id": "1042",
"actor": "user",
"channel": "websocket",
"action": "lock.unlock",
"entity_ids": ["lock.front_door"],
"guarded": true,
"confirmed_by": null,
"risk": "security",
"outcome": "refused",
"detail": { "code": "needs_confirmation" },
"created_at": "2026-09-03T03:42:40.118Z"
}
],
"next_before": "2026-09-03T03:39:36.004Z"
}
actor is user, agent, voice, mcp or automation; outcome is ok, refused or
failed. confirmed_by is the account that said yes, and it is null on an action a standing
grant cleared, so an auditor can tell "a person approved this" from "a rule allowed it".
Paging is on created_at, not an offset: an offset page shifts under you when new rows land at
the head, which for a log that is being written is every page. Pass the last row's created_at
back as before. next_before is null on the last page.
Is my house all right, and whose fault is it
GET /api/home/:id/health
The per-tenant counterpart to the home block in GET /api/healthz. That block is scored
across tenants so an operator is paged for a correlated outage and never for one person's
unplugged router. This endpoint is where that one person is told what happened to their router,
because a failure nobody alerts on still has to reach the human it belongs to.
fault is the field this endpoint exists for:
fault | Means |
|---|---|
none | Nothing is wrong, or the user disconnected this home themselves |
your_home | Their instance or their token, with advice naming the fix |
us | Enough other homes are failing right now that this is our problem |
unknown | We genuinely cannot tell yet |
unknown is a real answer we are willing to give. Telling somebody to check their router during
our own outage costs them an evening on hardware that was never broken, so your_home is
returned only when the fleet is provably fine.
{
"home_id": "9a0eae2b-55f4-4580-902f-2a345f2e5ef2",
"health": {
"state": "unreachable",
"fault": "your_home",
"headline": "We cannot reach your house right now.",
"reason": "Connection refused on port 8123.",
"advice": ["Check that Home Assistant is running and reachable at the address you gave us."],
"measured": true,
"windowMinutes": 1440,
"lastOkAt": "2026-09-03T03:54:13.910Z",
"lastErrorAt": "2026-09-03T04:11:02.771Z",
"actions": { "total": 4, "ok": 3, "refused": 1, "failed": 0, "timed": 4, "p95LatencyMs": 412 },
"confirmations": { "total": 2, "redeemed": 1, "expired": 1 },
"fleet": { "othersFailing": 0, "correlated": false }
}
}
fleet.othersFailing is the correlation answer, and it is a bare count on purpose. A user is
entitled to know whether they are alone in this; they are not entitled to anything about a
stranger's house.
Two things this endpoint deliberately does not do. It never answers anything but 200: a house being unreachable is the successful answer to this question, not a failure to answer it, and a 503 would make the panel render its own error state instead of the explanation. And it does not read the in-process connection pool, because Cloud Run answers a user's request from an arbitrary instance that usually does not hold their connection; every number above comes from the database, which is the same on every instance.
Open to a bearer as well as a session, unlike /log: this is coarse counters and a reachability
verdict rather than a record of when somebody was home, and an agent that can act on a house has
a real need to ask whether it is failing because the house is down.
Home API status codes
One table, so a client needs one branch. Every body carries the code twice: as error (the
platform-wide envelope) and as code (the Home surface's own), with the human sentence in both
error_description and message.
code | Status | When | What to show |
|---|---|---|---|
bad_url | 400 | Not a URL, or plain http from an https origin | Use your remote https URL |
auth | 400 | Home Assistant rejected the token | Create a new long-lived token |
validation_error | 400 | The body or query is malformed | The message names the field |
unauthorized | 401 | No session and no valid bearer | Sign in |
role_forbidden | 403 | A member whose role cannot do this | Name the role; it is not a broken door |
not_found | 404 | Not this caller's home | Nothing about whether the id exists |
needs_confirmation | 409 | A guarded action with no explicit yes | Render pending and ask a person |
quota_exceeded | 402 | The plan's ceiling for homes or streams | Offer the upgrade in quota |
unreachable | 502 | The house did not answer | It may be LAN-only: offer pairing |
call_failed | 502 | Connected, but the request failed | The message, verbatim |
not_connected | 503 | Retries are paused, or the connection is opening | Retry, with the reason |
rate_limited | 429 | Over a bucket (see retry_after) | Back off by retry_after |
Two of those are deliberate and worth stating:
needs_confirmationis 409, never 403 and never 200. It is a conflict with the current authorization state and it is retryable with the same request plus a person's yes. A403reads as terminal to every HTTP client ever written, so "ask the user" becomes "give up"; a200with an error field reads as SUCCESS to a language model, which is exactly how an agent talks itself into believing it locked a door it actually opened.authis 400, not 401. A401from us means "your three.ws session is bad". This code means "Home Assistant rejected the token you gave us", which is a problem with the submitted data. Conflating them logs a person out of three.ws because their house's token expired.
A home whose mcp_server integration is not enabled is not an error anywhere. It connects,
it stores, and it comes back with capabilities.mcp: false plus the setting path.
Home API rate limits
Three buckets, because the three shapes of request have three different costs and one of them is not measured in money.
| Bucket | Routes | Ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| read | list, snapshot, macros, log, dry runs | 240 per minute |
| act | call, activate | 40 per 5 minutes |
| connect | connecting a home, disconnecting one | 10 per 10 minutes |
| stream | stream | 60 per 5 minutes |
act is the tight one on purpose. A runaway client there does not run up a bill, it cycles a
real garage door in a real building, so the ceiling is set by what a person could plausibly mean
to do. A scene that touches twelve lights is one action, so an honest household never
approaches it and a loop hits the wall in seconds. A 429 carries retry-after as a header and
retry_after in the body.
Household roster
GET /api/home/:id/members
POST /api/home/:id/members
PATCH /api/home/:id/members
DELETE /api/home/:id/members
List members and outstanding invitations, invite by email to a named role and scope, change a role, remove a member or withdraw an invitation.
| Role | Read | Act | Confirm | Grant | Layout | Invite | Manage | Disconnect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
owner | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
admin | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | no |
member | yes | yes | yes | no | yes | no | no | no |
guest | scoped | scoped | no | no | no | no | no | no |
viewer | scoped | no | no | no | no | no | no | no |
There is exactly one owner, enforced by the schema. Ownership is never assigned by an invite.
Accept an invitation
GET /api/home/invites/:token
POST /api/home/invites/:token
GET says what the link is for without spending it, so the join screen can name the household and
the role. POST spends it.
Pair a LAN-only house
POST /api/home/pair
GET /api/home/pair?homeId=
POST /api/home/pair/redeem
For a house with no reachable URL. POST /api/home/pair mints a short pairing code (send
{ homeId, action: 'refresh' } to reissue one); GET returns its countdown and the link state.
POST /api/home/pair/redeem is the only endpoint in this surface with no three.ws session behind
it, and that is deliberate: the caller is a Home Assistant install with no account, no cookie and
no bearer token, holding only the short code its owner typed in. After redemption the house dials
out to services/home-relay, and no Home Assistant
credential ever reaches three.ws.
Privacy and retention
GET /api/home/privacy
GET /api/home/privacy?export=1
PATCH /api/home/privacy
DELETE /api/home/privacy
What is held about your homes in plain language, the whole of it as JSON, the action-log retention
window ({ homeId, retentionDays, reason }), and deletion ({ scope: 'home' | 'all', homeId }).
Details: docs/home-privacy.md.
Pagination
Paginated list endpoints use limit/offset query parameters unless noted otherwise (each endpoint's own parameter table is authoritative; some small per-user lists, like /api/agents and /api/widgets, return everything with no pagination).
GET /api/v1/pump/launches?limit=24&offset=24
/api/explore and /api/showcase use keyset (cursor-based) pagination for stability: pass the value the previous page returned (cursor on explore, next_cursor on showcase) as the cursor query parameter on the next request. /api/agent-actions and /api/users/me/feed are cursor-based too (cursor / before timestamps).
Error codes
Codes are lowercase snake_case in the error field. The common ones, shared across endpoints:
| Code | HTTP Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
unauthorized | 401 | Missing or invalid auth |
forbidden | 403 | Authenticated but not allowed |
insufficient_scope | 403 | Bearer token lacks the required scope |
not_found | 404 | Resource doesn't exist |
rate_limited | 429 | Too many requests (see retry_after) |
validation_error | 400 | Request body or query validation failed |
not_configured | 503 | A required provider/env is unset on this deploy |
upstream_error | 502 | A third-party upstream returned an error |
Endpoint-specific codes (e.g. quota_exceeded, invalid_avatar, no_client_id) are documented in each endpoint's Errors table above.
SDK
For building on the platform from JavaScript, the official npm package is @three-ws/sdk. It is not a thin wrapper over every REST route above; it ships the higher-level building blocks: AgentKit (chat panel + ERC-8004 registration + .well-known manifest generation), AgentClient (x402 agent-to-agent paid skill calls), PermissionsClient (ERC-7710 delegations), and the Solana identity/attestation helpers. Full docs: SDK & Library.
For the endpoints on this page, call them directly with fetch/curl and a Bearer API key:
const res = await fetch('https://three.ws/api/agents?limit=10', {
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer sk_live_xxxxx' },
});
const { agents } = await res.json();
