Comment on Show HN: Small Transfers – charge from 0.000001 USD per request for your SaaS

Comments

This could be a great way to charge ai for access to content.

Definitely! The API lets you authorize the maximum your AI request might cost (+ margin), then capture the actual cost (+ margin). For some example code, see our Next.js Starter project: https://github.com/smalltransfers/nextjs-starter

I misunderstood this comment originally. In principle, Small Transfers (ST) could let a content site bill AI agents per request. Each site (acting as an ST merchant) would expose a simple "content" endpoint. The AI agent (as an ST customer) would perform a headless OAuth flow, after which the content site could charge for access. We currently don't support headless OAuth, but if anyone is interested in exploring this use case, please get in touch.
