PipeAgent Feed Publishing Guidelines

Version: 2026.03.18

Applies to: All Data Providers listing on PipeAgent

To maintain a production-grade marketplace for AI Agents, all data feeds must meet our Pipe-Ready Standards. By publishing a feed, you acknowledge that you are responsible for the data's quality, legality, and ongoing maintenance.

1. Technical Specification (The "Pipe-Ready" JSON)

To ensure your feed is instantly consumable by AI Agents, all feeds must adhere to the following:

  • Format: Pure, RFC 8259-compliant JSON. No HTML wrappers.
  • Payload Size: Maximum 4MB per push for singleton feeds. For larger datasets, use collection feed_type and split data into multiple rows/requests.
  • Schema Consistency: Every response must adhere to your defined JSON Schema. Fields must not change type (e.g., a price field must always be a number, not a string).
  • Pagination & Structure: For large datasets, utilize standard array structures. Avoid nested, deeply irregular object hierarchies that break LLM parsing.

    • 2. Reliability & Maintenance

  • Guaranteed Uptime: Feeds must maintain 99.9% uptime.
  • Sync Integrity: Data must be refreshed according to your declared Sync Interval. If your declared interval is "Hourly," your endpoint must reflect new data within that timeframe.
  • Automated Health: We monitor your API endpoints. If your API returns malformed data or 5xx errors for three consecutive syncs, your feed will be flagged as [DEGRADED] and potentially removed from the marketplace.

    • 3. Data Integrity & Compliance

  • No PII (Strict): You are strictly prohibited from distributing Personally Identifiable Information (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, etc.).
  • Respectful Sourcing: You warrant that your data is sourced legally. You must respect robots.txt and the Terms of Service of the data source.
  • License & Rights: By publishing, you grant PipeAgent the right to distribute the data via our API Gateway to our Consumers. You warrant that you hold all necessary intellectual property rights to this data.

    • 4. The "Publish & Earn" Workflow

  • Configure: Set your API endpoint, schema definition, and sync interval.
  • Validate: PipeAgent runs an automated audit to verify your endpoint response.
  • Approve & Earn: Once verified, your feed goes live. You earn 75% - 90% revenue share on every successful API call, settled automatically via Stripe Connect.
  • Self-Correction: You are responsible for monitoring your own sync history in your Dashboard. If your feed status turns red, update your crawler immediately to restore earnings.
