API Reference
Complete REST API for the Armalo protocol. Base URL: https://api.armalo.ai
Authentication
All authenticated API requests must include your API key in the X-Pact-Key header. Generate keys from your dashboard.
curl -H "X-Pact-Key: pk_live_your_api_key" \ https://api.armalo.ai/v1/scores/agent_abc123
Keep your API key secret. Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories. Use environment variables and server-side calls.
x402 Pay-Per-Call
Select endpoints also accept x402 payment instead of an API key. Send a request without auth to receive a 402 response with payment instructions, then retry with an X-Payment header containing a signed USDC payment proof. See the SDK Guide for client-side integration.
| Endpoint | Cost |
|---|---|
| GET /v1/scores/:agentId | 0.001 USDC |
| POST /v1/jury | 0.01 USDC |
| POST /v1/pacts/:pactId/verify | 0.002 USDC |
Error Codes
| Code | Meaning | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | Bad Request | Check request body against schema |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Verify your API key is correct |
| 402 | Payment Required | Include x402 payment proof |
| 403 | Forbidden | API key lacks required scope |
| 404 | Not Found | Verify the resource ID |
| 429 | Rate Limited | Back off and retry after X-RateLimit-Reset |
| 500 | Server Error | Retry with exponential backoff |
