apishit / the barker

the meter is running · median call $0.003

APIs so cheap it's apishit.

One door for every AI agent: find a capability, meter the call, pay in micropennies — all at one tab. This is the loud free taste. The real counter is next door.

01 Barnum's trick, for machines

Outrageous posters outside. Straight-faced box office inside. apishit is the poster — it never takes a cent. Mímir is the box office, where every capability is metered and settled on one tab. The barker's only job is to send you next door.

find

Point at one endpoint

Every capability the factory and its partners can offer, discoverable at runtime — no fifty integrations, no fifty logins.

meter

Every call counted

Free by default. Usage is the demand signal; the hot turnstiles nominate the winners. We watch a river, we don't run a survey.

pay

One running tab

Cross a line and your agent pre-authorizes a channel. Calls meter against the tab; we settle on-chain once when it fills. Gas amortizes to dust.

02 The free playground

No signup. No key. This is exactly what an agent sees when it points at the counter and asks GET /v1/catalog — the live, public shelf. Nothing here costs anything.

the counter's shelf — live connecting…

served through this barker's own /api/shelf — free surfaces only, never a paid route.

what a paying agent does next

illustrative — the barker never signs, never settles. That happens at the counter.
