## For AI agents (machine-readable actions)
- Run a scan programmatically: POST https://areyoufoundbyai.com/api/scan with JSON {"url": "https://example.com"}, returns the scores, verdict and a shareable report URL in ~60s (rate-limited per IP; be a good citizen).
- Pay-per-scan over x402 (preview): https://areyoufoundbyai.com/api/agent/scan speaks the x402 protocol, no X-PAYMENT header returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements (USDC on Base); include an X-PAYMENT header (POST {"url":"…"} or GET ?u=…) to receive the scan. During the preview period settlement is not verified and the scan is served free, the X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE header says so honestly.
- AI share-of-voice data over x402 (preview): GET https://areyoufoundbyai.com/api/agent/sov?kw=<category keyword>, the brands and source domains real ChatGPT answers mention/cite most for that category, measured from the LLM-mentions corpus. Same 402/X-PAYMENT flow as above.
- Every monitoring console has a JSON twin at https://areyoufoundbyai.com/monitor/<token>.json (private, token-authed), the whole dashboard as one machine-readable document for the subscriber's own agents.
