🚀 Getting Started with RequestTap-Router

Follow these simple steps to start controlling your API with pay-per-request payments.

1. Connect Your API

Inside the app, you will find a straightforward form. Enter:

• The URL of your API.
• The API key or credentials if needed.

This allows RequestTap-Router to access your API securely.

2. Set Up USDC Payments

RequestTap-Router works with USDC payments on networks like Ethereum or Skale. You will need:

• A digital wallet that supports USDC (e.g., Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask).
• Some USDC tokens in your wallet.

Connect your wallet through the app. This step lets you manage receiving payments from API users.

3. Define Pricing

Set how much each API request costs. You can pick prices based on:

• Number of requests.
• Data size or type.
• Fixed cost per call.

This pricing helps control who can use your API and how much they pay.

4. Start the Router

After setup, turn on your router in the app. It will listen for API calls and handle payments automatically.

🔧 How RequestTap-Router Works

RequestTap-Router sits between your API and the users (usually AI agents). It checks each API call for payment before letting the request go through.

• When a request comes in, it asks for payment.
• The user pays with USDC.
• Once payment clears, the call goes to your original API.
• The response is sent back to the user.

This process happens instantly and securely, using blockchain technology on the backend but without exposing you to the technical parts.

🛠 Features

• Pay-per-request model: Only pay when a request happens.
• Supports major blockchain networks: Ethereum, Skale, and others.
• Friendly UI: Set up quickly without coding.
• Open source: Review and change the code if needed.

• Flexible pricing: You control cost models.
• Real-time monitoring: See payments and API usage reports.
