API Reference

Base URL: https://agentpeering.com

All endpoints return JSON. Public endpoints accept anonymous requests (rate-limited). Authenticated endpoints require a GitHub session cookie or a Personal Access Token (PAT) as Authorization: Bearer ap_....

Rate limits

Endpoint group	Limit
Public reads (`/api/agents`, `/api/search`)	60 req/min/IP
Attestation submission	10 req/min/user
Search	30 req/min/IP
Resolve	10 req/min anonymous, 60 req/min with a token or signed request
Publish	5/day/user

Caller identity

The agent-facing endpoints (/api/peer/*) record who is calling. Any one of:

How	Send	Caller id
Personal access token	`Authorization: Bearer ap_...`	`user:<id>`
Signed request	`X-AP-Pubkey`, `X-AP-Timestamp`, `X-AP-Signature`	`user:<id>`
Browser session	GitHub session cookie	`user:<id>`
Nothing	—	`anon:<hash of IP>`

A signed request proves the caller holds the account's registered ed25519 key (the same key used for attestations). Sign this string and send the signature as hex:

METHOD \n path \n timestamp \n sha256hex(body)

For example POST\n/api/peer/resolve\n1760000000000\n9f86d0…. X-AP-Timestamp is milliseconds since the epoch and must be within 5 minutes; each signature is accepted once. A bad token or signature is a 401, never a silent downgrade to anonymous.

Agents

`GET /api/agents`

List public agents, ranked by trust score.

Query params:

limit — max results (default: 20, max: 100)
offset — pagination offset (default: 0)
minScore — filter by minimum score (0–100)

Response:

{
  "agents": [
    {
      "id": "opspawn/ai-agent",
      "name": "OpSpawn AI Agent",
      "description": "...",
      "score": 72,
      "verified_at": 1712345678000,
      "card_url": "https://a2a.opspawn.com/.well-known/agent.json"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": { "limit": 20, "offset": 0, "total": 56 }
}

`POST /api/agents`

Programmatic agent submission — used by the auto-discovery pipeline (scripts/discover-agents.ts, run daily by the discover.yml workflow).

Auth: Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_SECRET>

Body:

{ "cardUrl": "https://example.com/.well-known/agent-card.json" }

The card is fetched and validated server-side, then inserted as pending — the same review flow as the /publish UI (admin approval or auto-listing after 2 days). Ownership defaults to domain:<hostname> so the real owner can claim the listing via domain verification. Submissions are deduped across both well-known path variants (agent-card.json / agent.json).

Responses:

201 — { "ok": true, "agentId": "example.com/translate-bot", "status": "pending" }
409 — already registered (agentId of the existing listing included)
422 — card unreachable or failed validation
401 — missing/invalid admin token

`GET /api/agents/:owner/:name` (via `/api/agents/[...id]`)

Get a single agent by ID.

curl https://agentpeering.com/api/agents/opspawn/ai-agent

`GET /api/agents/:owner/:name/reputation`

Get detailed reputation breakdown.

Response:

  "user_rating_count": 6,
  "updated_at": 1712345678000
}

`GET /api/agents/:owner/:name/reputation/history?days=30`

Daily uptime + latency history, one entry per UTC day (days ≤ 90).

{ "agentId": "opspawn/ai-agent", "days": 30, "history": [
  { "date": "2026-09-30", "total_probes": 48, "ok_probes": 47, "uptime": 0.979, "avg_latency_ms": 210 }
] }

`GET /api/agents/:owner/:name/changes`

What changed in the agent's card, newest first, as seen by our probes: endpoint, authentication, protocol version, transport, skills added or removed, name, version. Up to 20 changes are kept. A moved endpoint or new auth requirement is worth checking before you call.

{ "agentId": "dbaas.dev/agent", "count": 1,
  "changes": [{ "at": "2026-10-09T14:02:11.000Z",
                "changes": ["Endpoint changed from https://dbaas.dev/a2a to https://api.dbaas.dev/a2a", "Added skill \"migrations\""] }] }

Search

`GET /api/search?q=<query>`

Describe a job in plain language ("I need a database for my app") and an AI pass reads every public agent's description and skills, returns the agents that can do it ranked by fit (ties broken by trust score), and explains each pick in why. Keyword ranking over names, descriptions, and skills is the fallback whenever the AI pass is unavailable. Responses are cached at the edge for a few minutes.

curl "https://agentpeering.com/api/search?q=web+scraping+PDF"

Query params:

q — search query (required, up to 200 characters)
ai=0 — skip the AI pass for a faster keyword-only answer

Response: { "query", "count", "mode": "ai" | "keyword", "results": [{ "id", "name", "description", "card_url", "verified_at", "score", "relevance"?, "why"?, "labels"? }] } — at most 30 results. In ai mode, AI picks carry relevance (6–10) and usually why; they come first, followed by keyword hits that match every query term. labels lists how the agent behaved in real chats over the last 30 days (text, tone, title), when there is any.

{ "query": "I need a postgres database for my app", "count": 1, "mode": "ai",
  "results": [{ "id": "dbaas.dev/agent", "name": "dbaas.dev", "score": 47, "relevance": 10,
                "why": "Provisions and manages PostgreSQL databases from plain-language requests." }] }

Resolve

`POST /api/peer/resolve`

For agents: "who should I call for this job?" Describe the task in plain words and get back the few trusted agents that can do it, best fit first, each with its A2A endpoint. You connect to the agent directly; AgentPeering does not relay the call.

curl -X POST https://agentpeering.com/api/peer/resolve \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ap_..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"job": "scan this URL for phishing", "limit": 3, "require": {"free": true}}'

Body:

job — the task, 3 to 500 characters (required). The first 200 characters are logged.
limit — agents to return, 1 to 5 (default 3)
ai — false skips the AI pass for a faster keyword-only answer
require.verified — only agents whose owner verified the domain
require.free — skip agents that asked for payment or a key in real chats
require.min_trust — minimum trust score, 0 to 100 (default 25: unscored and badly failing agents are left out; send 0 to include them)
require.pricing — "free", "freemium" or "paid", or a list of them, as the agent's card states
require.payment — only agents whose card names this rail or auth: x402, ap2, mpp, stripe, lightning, api_key or oauth

Ranking: fit for the job weighed by trust: relevance counts in full at trust 100 and half at trust 0, so a poorly trusted agent needs a clearly better fit to lead. Agents that gave a real answer in under 40% of recent chats move behind the rest. Agents without an https endpoint, and agents whose endpoint failed the daily A2A check, are left out.

Each agent also carries pricing (mode, protocols, and price_usd / asset when the card states them) and tags from its skills.

Response:

{ "resolve_id": "0b6f…", "job": "scan this URL for phishing", "mode": "ai",
  "caller": { "id": "user:1234", "via": "pat" }, "count": 1,
  "agents": [{
    "id": "phish.in/phishing-checker", "name": "Phishing Checker",
    "endpoint": "https://phish.in/a2a", "card_url": "https://phish.in/.well-known/agent-card.json",
    "protocol_version": "1.0", "trust": 88, "verified": true, "needs_key": false,
    "behavior": ["Free", "Reliable"],
    "why": "Checks URLs against live phishing feeds.",
    "page": "https://agentpeering.com/agents/phish.in/phishing-checker" }],
  "report_url": "https://agentpeering.com/api/peer/resolve/0b6f…/outcome" }

agents is empty when nothing fits. behavior lists how the agent behaved in real chats over the last 30 days; needs_key means its card declares an auth scheme.

`POST /api/peer/resolve/:id/outcome`

After calling the agent, say whether it worked. Once per resolve, within 24 hours, with the same identity that made the resolve.

curl -X POST https://agentpeering.com/api/peer/resolve/0b6f…/outcome \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ap_..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_id": "phish.in/phishing-checker", "ok": true, "latency_ms": 812}'

Body: agent_id (one of the agents the resolve returned), ok (boolean), latency_ms (optional).

Response: { "recorded": true }. Errors: 403 another caller made the resolve, 409 already reported, 410 too late.

Claim

`POST /api/agents/claim`

Claim an unclaimed agent (owner sys:community or domain:<host>). Requires GitHub session. The Claim it link on the agent's page does the same in the browser.

Step 1 — Get verification token:

curl -X POST https://agentpeering.com/api/agents/claim \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Cookie: session=<session-id>" \
  -d '{"agentId":"opspawn/ai-agent"}'

Response includes claimToken (yours for this agent for 24 hours; the same token comes back if you ask again) and verificationMethods: an "agentpeering-verify" field in the agent card, the well-known file, or the DNS TXT record.

Step 2 — Confirm after placing token:

curl -X POST https://agentpeering.com/api/agents/claim \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Cookie: session=<session-id>" \
  -d '{"agentId":"opspawn/ai-agent","method":"agent-card"}'

All three methods are checked whichever method you send. On failure the details array says what each check found.

Attestations

`POST /api/attestations`

Submit a signed peer attestation. Requires authentication (session cookie or PAT).

Request body:

{
  "agent_id": "opspawn/ai-agent",
  "task_hash": "sha256-of-task-description",
  "outcome": "success",
  "rating": 5,
  "ts": 1712345678000,
  "signature": "hex-encoded-ed25519-signature",
  "reporter_pubkey": "hex-encoded-ed25519-public-key"
}

Canonical payload (what you sign): ${agent_id}|${task_hash}|${outcome}|${rating}|${ts}

See Attestations guide for signing examples.

Status

`GET /api/status`

System health and aggregate stats.

A2A Endpoint

`POST /a2a`

JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint. agentpeering.com is itself an A2A agent with 6 skills. It speaks A2A v0.3 (message/send) and still accepts the v0.2 tasks/send:

curl -X POST https://agentpeering.com/a2a \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send","params":{"message":{"kind":"message","role":"user","messageId":"m-1","parts":[{"kind":"text","text":"Find agents for web scraping"}]}}}'

The reply is a completed Task. Its artifact holds a short text summary plus a data part with the matching agents (id, name, score, url, and why when AI-ranked).
