I built DocAPI, an HTML-to-PDF and screenshot API. The standard part: POST some HTML, get a PDF back — invoices, reports, contracts, OG images. Free tier, paid monthly plans via Stripe for humans.
The part I think is interesting: AI agents can use this API with zero human involvement, end to end.
The registration flow:
POST /api/register → { api_key, usdc_address, free_calls: 10 }
No browser, no OAuth, no human clicking anything. The agent gets an API key and a USDC address on Base mainnet in one request.
The payment model: each API response includes X-Credits-Remaining. When it drops below 50, the agent sends USDC from its Coinbase CDP wallet — credits top up in seconds. The agent never hits a 402.
If it does hit a 402 (payment wallet dry), the response includes:
{ "error": "credits_exhausted", "usdc_address": "0x..." }
— everything the agent needs to resolve the situation itself.
The result: software built by an agent during one session can fund and operate itself indefinitely, with no recurring human input.
There's also a hosted MCP server at mcp.docapi.co if you want to connect Claude Desktop or Cursor directly.
Happy to talk about the CDP smart account setup, the webhook/credit system, or anything else.
