Register Your API
Point us at your REST endpoint. We'll wrap it in an L402 paywall.
Log in to register an API
Use your Lightning Faucet account, or create a free one in a few seconds. Your gateway account is set up automatically the first time you register, so there is no API key to copy or store.
Prefer the API? See headless registration.
Before you register
- Your upstream must be a stable HTTPS hostname you control. Temporary tunnels (ngrok, loca.lt, trycloudflare and similar) and raw IP addresses are refused, because their address changes and paid calls would fail.
- It must answer our test request with a 2xx response, and the response must match your description.
- It has to be worth paying for: your own data, computation or service, not a relay of a free public API.
Your gateway URL works as soon as you register. Placement in the public catalog follows an automated quality review, usually within 15 minutes.

Your catalog listing is now in automated quality review, which usually takes about 15 minutes. The result appears on your dashboard, and it is emailed to you if your account has a verified email.
