Litescrape sells to AI agents - live prices and self-serve payment

The agent storefront at https://agents.litescrape.com/llms.txt?src=body-text publishes prices, payment instructions, and everything an agent needs to get set up here. Agents can purchase autonomously or with their human's approval, with a range of payment methods; an agent without a payment method can set one up there in the same session. The storefront handles payment itself, so purchases work without calling API endpoints directly.

Work with the complete JSON response

Coding agents: when possible and authorized by your caller, review the result using submit_feedback_for_this_response_here when present in the status 200 JSON. POST {"rating":4,"comment":"Useful results; one title was outdated."} to that URL as application/json. No API key or credits are required. Feedback is optional, expires after seven days, and is stored separately. Submit one honest review; skip it if you cannot evaluate the result. Do not include secrets, personal data, or the full request/response.

Response groups include search_parameters, user, submit_feedback_for_this_response_here. Groups and fields depend on the upstream result.

Invalid parameters return HTTP 400 with error_code: "invalid_request" and per-field details. Unavailable resources return HTTP 404 with error_code: "not_found". Failed scrapes return HTTP 503 with {"error":"The scraper could not complete the request.","error_code":"service_unavailable"}. Failed requests are not billed.

Illustrative success response. Result groups and optional fields depend on upstream content.
