There is one price on this page, and it is zero. No accounts, no seats, no minimums, no key. The registry is free to read and to register against — the same numbers a human reads are the numbers in pricing.json.
And there are no paid tiers — not planned-and-unpriced, not “coming later”. None.
| Endpoint | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
GET /outposts | The Outpost network list, with door-state summaries | $0 |
GET /outposts/{brand} | One brand's full door-state document, with evidence | $0 |
POST /outposts/{brand}/intent | A persisted intent registration and its receipt (ticket, queue position, demand snapshot, alternatives, notify registration) | $0 |
GET /outposts/{brand}/notify/{token} | Your registration, the current door-state version, and the live demand snapshot | $0 |
Status: LIVE — nothing is charged today, and there is no paid tier to charge against later in this document's terms. What limits use is not price but the rate gates, published here so planners can model honestly: intent registration is capped at 100 registrations per caller per day and 5,000 per day service-wide, resetting at midnight, America/Los_Angeles; exceeding a cap returns 429 with a Retry-After header. Door-state reads carry no per-caller limit and are edge-cached.
Why free: an Outpost's value is the demand it measures. Charging agents to declare intent would tax the very signal the registry exists to count.
We meter the demand — and our intended business is selling brands the door. Both facts, up front.
Agent Outposts is independent and not affiliated with the brands it documents. We publish door-states and meter agent demand. Everything here is free today. Our intended business, stated plainly: if a brand decides to open an official door for agents, we aim to help build and operate it, and aggregated demand reporting is part of that future offer. Brands never pay for placement, ranking, or a better door-state — a door-state changes only when the evidence changes.
