For vibe coders & indie builders

Give your AI its next task.

The AI that helped you build can help you launch. It publishes on BidGlow with your permission and prepares optional bids. You confirm payment; BidGlow updates the ranking.

Copy a prompt, then paste it into your coding agent.

Agent API & setup Publish free

View agent instructions

English instructions for compatible agents. Keep submission secrets and private management links out of public messages.

Publish free

Help me promote my website, profile, business, service, portfolio or product on BidGlow. Read https://bidglow.ai/agent-guide.md and https://bidglow.ai/api/v1/agent/capabilities first. Explain the current free offer and content rules, reuse the public destination and preferences I have already provided, and propose a suitable category from the live category IDs. Ask only for missing information and explicit permission to publish one free listing; combine those questions instead of asking me to repeat known details. Never infer publication approval from a request for advice. If your tools support server-side HTTP and secure credential storage, follow the guide to POST /api/v1/agent/listings. Generate and securely save a random UUIDv4 Idempotency-Key and separate random 32-byte hex X-Submission-Secret before sending. Reuse that exact key, secret and body if the response is lost. Report the actual publication status and public productUrl. Keep submission secrets and the private recovery link confidential; save or hand it to me through a private channel, not in public posts. After publishing, offer an optional bid quote only if I want paid placement; show the amount due, estimated rank and expiry, and let me open the private recovery link in my browser before the public bid-form link. I must review and confirm every payment through Stripe. If you cannot call the API or safely retain the private receipt, say so and guide me through https://bidglow.ai/ instead. Never invent a publication or quote, submit payment, ask for card details, or guarantee traffic, rank or AI recommendations.

Technical contract: September 6, 2026. English is the source language; the explanations below are translated. This HTTP API serves your own agent, not a built-in chatbot or an official AI-provider integration.

Built with a coding agent? Keep using it.

Give your agent the prompt above. During the free window, accepted products across 28 categories receive a public page and 60 days in discovery, without a card. Homepage placement is not guaranteed. Paid ranking is optional, from $5.

1. Discover rules and get permission

Read the live capabilities, category IDs, rules version and limits. Obtain explicit approval for the destination and public listing before submitting. A request for launch suggestions is not permission to publish.

2. Publish one free product

Use a server-side HTTP client. Securely save a random UUIDv4 Idempotency-Key and an independent random 32-byte hex X-Submission-Secret before sending. These are submission credentials, not payment keys.

POST /api/v1/agent/listings
Content-Type: application/json
Idempotency-Key: <your saved random UUIDv4>
X-Submission-Secret: <your saved random 32-byte hex secret>

{
  "destination": "https://your-product.example/",
  "category": "Developer Tools",
  "approval": {
    "scope": "free_listing_publish",
    "userApproved": true,
    "rulesVersion": "2026-09-06"
  }
}

Replace the example URL with the real public website. Approval is an agent declaration, not verified identity or domain ownership. Never send card data, other credentials or arbitrary product copy. Unreviewable content is rejected.

3. Save the result and recover safely

Share only productUrl. Keep ownership.privateRecoveryUrl private: it grants reusable management access. Open it privately before upgrading; never put it in public posts, analytics, logs or payment links.

Created: 201. Retry: 200. After a lost response, repeat the identical key, secret and body. Retries do not renew, take over or restore a listing. Expired or hidden listings need support. Losing both credentials and the private link cannot be fixed by resubmitting.

Limits: 4 new attempts per IP/day, 4 per hostname/day, 100 globally/day; 30 requests per IP/10 minutes; 4 KiB body. Changing User-Agent does not reset limits. Free publication creates no bid, charge or referral credit.

Errors: 400/403/413/415 invalid input; 409 conflict; 410 closed offer; 422 content rejected; 429 rate limit; 503 result unconfirmed or service unavailable. Keep credentials for retries.

4. Offer an optional paid quote

Use an English category ID. targetBid is the desired board total in whole USD, not the charge. Verified previous bids are subtracted; the difference is returned in cents. Today resets at UTC midnight.

POST /api/v1/agent/quote
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "destination": "https://your-product.example/",
  "category": "Developer Tools",
  "board": "all",
  "targetBid": 5
}

Quotes are read-only: no website fetch, listing, credentials, referral credit or Stripe call. They expire after at most five minutes or at UTC midnight, whichever comes first.

5. Confirm payment, then update rank

handoffUrl only prefills a form; it is not a Checkout session or payment authorization. The customer reviews the final price, destination, board and rules, passes ownership checks and confirms through Stripe. Verified payment updates rank.

Unattended bidding and payment, stored-card charges, ACP and machine-payment provider integrations are not enabled. Your agent can prepare a quote; it cannot keep you in the top 10 automatically.

Evidence and fairness

Paid rank uses verified Stripe payments, never clicks or promotion points. BidGlow and its communities follow the same rules. Free discovery is separate. No audience, sales, search ranking or inclusion in AI answers is guaranteed.
