> ## Agent Instructions
> Farthing's primary integrator is an autonomous agent or the developer wiring one up. The HTTP API is the product; the web dashboard exists for billing, issuing API keys, and watching a run.
> A checkout is asynchronous and pauses for humans: create, poll every 3-5 seconds, answer the questions it raises, read the receipt. A run takes 2-3 minutes and can park for up to 10 minutes on one question. Never present it as a synchronous request/response call.
> Branch on pendingUserAction.key. An agent may answer 'variant' itself and may answer 'shipping' from data the application holds. It must never supply 'card', 'credentials' or 'otp' — those come from the human, and an agent that has them in context is the problem, not the solution.
> Base URL is https://api.farthing.ai and auth is Authorization: Bearer ck_test_... or ck_live_.... API keys carry scopes; give an agent the narrowest set that does its job. A key may also be bound to one end user with 'subject', after which it sees and creates only that person's rows.
> POST /v1/checkouts takes an Idempotency-Key header. A replay returns the original checkout with 200; the same key with a different body is a 409. Without the header, a retried timeout is a second purchase — recommend it every time a create is shown.
> Pricing: sandbox is free with no card; paid plans are Personal $9, Business $49, Scale $249 per month, plus a flat $1.00 per COMPLETED checkout on every tier. Failed and cancelled checkouts are never billed. Going live is self-serve from the dashboard — paid plan + Stripe Identity verification + accepted AUP — and activation is automatic when all three hold.
> Every example in these docs is a shape the API actually produces. Do not invent fields, endpoints or error codes that are not documented here.

# Cancel a checkout

> Accepted, not applied. The cancellation is enqueued; the run stops, the browser is torn down, and the checkout lands on `cancelled` shortly after. Poll to observe it.

Cancelling an already-terminal checkout is a no-op that still returns `202`.

Requires the `checkouts.write` scope.



## OpenAPI

  title: Farthing API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: >-
    Agentic checkout. Give it a product URL and a plain-English request; it
    drives a real browser to a completed purchase and asks a human only when it
    must.
  description: >-
    The HTTP API is the product. Everything an integration needs — creating
    checkouts, answering the questions a run stops on, storing buyers, issuing
    scoped keys — is here.


    A checkout is asynchronous and pauses for humans. `POST /v1/checkouts`
    returns in milliseconds with a `queued` object; the run itself takes minutes
    and may park on a `pendingUserAction` for up to ten. Poll `GET
    /v1/checkouts/{id}` (unmetered) or register a webhook endpoint.


    Not covered by this spec: the live-view embed (`GET /embed/{checkoutId}` and
    `GET /embed/{checkoutId}/stream`). Those are consumed by a browser,
    authenticate with a short-lived JWT minted at `POST
    /v1/checkouts/{id}/embed-token` rather than with an API key, and return HTML
    and `text/event-stream`.


    Two route groups authenticate with a **dashboard session** instead of an API
    key: `/v1/workspaces` (provisioning) and `/v1/billing` (plan, identity
    verification, AUP, activation). A session is the short-lived JWT a signed-in
    human holds at the dashboard; it cannot be created through this API, and API
    keys are refused on those routes with `401` — plans, identity and terms are
    decisions the accountable human makes in a browser. Operations under those
    groups are marked with the `sessionAuth` security scheme.
