Authentication
All requests require a bearer token:
Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEYAPI Base URL
https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agentWorkflow
1. Bootstrap
Always start here. Confirms your key works and returns the endpoint map.
curl -s \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/bootstrap"2. Ask (primary entrypoint)
Turn natural language into structured market analysis:
curl -s \
-X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/ask" \
-d '{
"question": "What are the fastest-growing freelance categories this month?",
"saveFocus": true
}'The response includes:
run.answer.summary— natural language answerrun.answer.supportingOrders— evidence datarun.answer.topPainPoints— demand signalsrun.answer.recommendedFollowups— suggested next questions
Example questions:
- "Help me find the fastest-growing opportunity in March"
- "What are the strongest orders behind that opportunity?"
- "Which pain points repeat most often in business plans?"
3. Drill down with query endpoints
After ask identifies a promising angle, use structured queries:
Available months:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/months"Monthly stats:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/stats?month=2026-03"Category rollups (sorted by revenue):
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/category-rollups?month=2026-03&sort=avg_revenue&limit=20"Search snapshots:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/snapshots?month=2026-03&category_slug=business-plans&limit=20"Single snapshot detail:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/snapshot?snapshot_id=<SNAPSHOT_ID>"Track a gig over time:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/gig-history?gig_id=<GIG_ID>&limit=12"Aggregate pain points:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/pain-points?month=2026-03&q=plan&limit=20"4. Focus system (save and rerun)
Save useful analyses as durable Focuses that can be rerun against new monthly data:
List workspaces:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/workspaces"List focuses in a workspace:
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/workspaces/<WORKSPACE_ID>/focuses"Rerun a focus:
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/focuses/<FOCUS_ID>/run" \
-d '{}'5. SSE streaming (optional)
For incremental row consumption:
curl -N -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
"https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/sse/category-rollups?month=2026-03"Query Strategy
- Prefer
askfirst for natural-language exploration, then drill down with query endpoints - Use
bootstraponce per session to confirm access and discover available data - Use
statsandcategory-rollupsbefore scanning raw snapshots - Use
pain-pointswhen looking for demand themes and repeated customer signals - Use
snapshotandgig-historyonly after narrowing candidates - Use
focuseswhen the agent needs continuity across sessions
