AI Agent Guide

Build APIs for the AI Economy

API-Direct is designed for AI agents and developers building autonomous systems. Deploy APIs that AI agents can discover, use, and pay for automatically.

Watch Demo View Examples

AI-Friendly APIs

OpenAPI 3.0 specifications for easy discovery
Structured JSON responses
Clear error messages and status codes
Predictable rate limiting

Automated Payments

Pay-per-use pricing models
Cryptocurrency payment support
Automated billing APIs
Usage-based subscriptions

Example: AI Agent Using Your API

# AI Agent discovering and using your API
import requests
from apidirect import discover_api

# Discover available APIs
weather_api = discover_api("weather-forecast")

# Automatic authentication
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {weather_api.get_token()}"}

# Make API call
response = requests.get(
    f"{weather_api.base_url}/forecast",
    params={"location": "San Francisco", "days": 7},
    headers=headers
)

# Handle response
forecast = response.json()
print(f"7-day forecast: {forecast['summary']}")

# Automated payment happens in the background

Best Practices for AI-Ready APIs

API Design

• Use descriptive endpoint names
• Implement comprehensive error handling
• Provide detailed API documentation
• Support batch operations when possible

AI Integration

• Include usage examples in docs
• Offer sandbox environments
• Implement semantic versioning
• Provide webhook notifications
