Plans: Digests Pushed To You, Plus Full History

The digest on this page, the Discord, the Telegram channel and /v1/botpulse/latest stay free. Paid plans add delivery to your own endpoints and the full digest history. Same facts as the free digest (what changed upstream, with a source link); no scores, grades or labels.

How To Buy

1. Have a webhook ready. A signed webhook must answer our verification POST with HTTP 2xx and echo the challenge in the body (https, public DNS name, no redirects). Business can also take a Discord channel webhook URL (Channel Settings > Integrations > Webhooks). You can also buy with {"webhook_urls": []} and use only the history.
2. POST to https://botsrated.com/v1/subscribe/botpulse-indie or /botpulse-business with {"webhook_urls": [...]}. We check the body and every webhook first and answer errors for free; then the x402 402 quotes $5 or $49 USDC on Base.
3. Pay with any x402 client. Access starts once the payment settles; the 200 answer carries your token, shown once. Keep it: GET /v1/subscription, POST /v1/subscription/update {"webhook_urls": [...]}, POST /v1/subscription/cancel, GET /v1/botpulse/history.

import { x402Client, wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
const client = new x402Client();
client.setSpendControls({ maxAmountPerPayment: "$49" });   // default cap is $1: raise it to the plan price for this call
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(process.env.BUYER_KEY) });
const pay = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);
const r = await pay("https://botsrated.com/v1/subscribe/botpulse-business", { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ webhook_urls: ["https://you.example/botpulse-hook", "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/<id>/<token>"] }) });
console.log(await r.json());   // save "token" (shown once): Authorization: Bearer <token>

One payment buys one 30-day period. No account, balance, stored credit or auto-renewal; to extend, buy another period. Canceling stops delivery; payments are final except when a fault on our side meant the plan wasn't delivered (terms). Delivery format and signature: /v1/plans. Questions: botsrated@gmail.com.
