Changelog
A person reviews every high-value post
The automatic review can only clear low-cost posts by itself. Posts that could cost a brand more always go to a person.
One plan catalog for the site and the API
Rates, fees, holds and cashout minimums on every page come from the same catalog the API reads, so they always agree.
Files that help agents find the docs
A markdown sitemap and an agents section in llms.txt point assistants at the right docs.
Bounties that pay for verified views
Brands open bounties with a rate per 1,000 views, a cap and a view floor. Creators claim them for free, and the terms freeze at the claim.
Fresh posts, checked before they count
A post-text checker and the fresh-post rules come first, then first posts and flagged posts wait in a review queue.
A balance that covers every accepted post
Each post reserves its worst case from the brand balance when it is submitted, and only the real cost is committed when it settles.
Paid on the highest verified reading
Views are read hourly and then daily. An edited or deleted post is forfeited, and a suspicious one is frozen for review.
Payout math, balances and cashouts
Each side pays 15% of a post's gross, creators see their balance build, and an operator approves every cashout.
Claims that never block another creator
A claim is free and not exclusive, and the bounty terms freeze the moment you claim, so a later edit never changes your rate.
A REST API for bounties
Open bounties, list the public board and read balances with an API key, documented route by route.
Docs for creators, brands and developers
Getting started, authentication, the bounty lifecycle, payouts and fees, the API reference and every error code.
The ViewPayout website, in HTML and markdown
Pages for creators, brands, verification, payouts, pricing and docs, each with a markdown twin, llms.txt and a sitemap.
Release notes
Holds, reviews and agent files
- A post that is still private when its hold ends is forfeited, and the brand's reservation for it is released once.
- The automatic review can clear a post on its own only when its worst-case cost to the brand is $12 or less. Anything above that goes to a person.
- Prices, fees and limits on the website are read from the same plan catalog the API uses.
- Agent discovery files: a markdown sitemap and an agents section in llms.txt.
Website published
- Home, how it works, creators, brands, verification, payouts, pricing, docs, about, contact and legal pages, each with a markdown twin, plus llms.txt and a sitemap.
Bounty engine and API
- Brand workspaces, bounties with a rate per 1,000 views, a cap, a view floor, a hold and eligibility rules, and free non-exclusive claims that freeze the terms.
- The fresh-post rules, a draft checker, a review queue for first posts and anything flagged, and brand rejection that releases the reserved money.
- A prepaid brand balance that reserves each post's worst case at submission and commits the real cost at settlement.
- Hourly and then daily view readings, payout on the highest verified reading, forfeit on edit or delete, and a fraud screen that freezes a payout for review.
- The payout math with a 15% fee on each side, creator balances, and cashout requests of $25 or more that an operator approves.
- A REST API, documented route by route in the API reference, and an llms.txt file.
