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. # Liveness check > Unauthenticated. Returns immediately; does not touch the database. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json get /health openapi: 3.1.0 info: 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. contact: name: Farthing url: https://docs.farthing.ai servers: - url: https://api.farthing.ai description: Production security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Signup description: Self-serve account creation.
