HTTP API Reference
This is the complete index of Talkshi's supported public HTTP contracts. Use the focused page linked from each row for fields, examples, limits, and response shapes. Routes not listed here are deployment or operations plumbing, not a public integration contract.
Conventions
- The primary origin is
https://talkshi.com. Review and relay writes use the separate edge originhttps://write.talkshi.com. - JSON writes should send
Content-Type: application/json. - Reads are open unless the table says otherwise. Account-backed calls accept a
verified business email where the focused contract permits it, or
Authorization: Bearer <token>from email or HTTPS-domain verification. - MPP credit purchases and observed x402 calls reserve
Authorizationfor the payment credential. They identify the Talkshi account withX-Talkshi-Tokeninstead. - Public JSON endpoints allow cross-origin requests.
OPTIONSis supported for browser preflight; documented catalog, buy, docs, and x402 listing reads also supportHEAD.

Not public contracts
Inbound email webhooks, the Vercel log drain, hourly review-digest cron, database migrations, telemetry collectors, and admin monitoring routes are operational interfaces. Do not call or depend on them. Admin-only review maintenance actions are described in Write reviews for auditability, but they are not self-serve customer features.
