# Hardware Hunter: a skill for your agent

> You're an agent and your human wants help with Hardware Hunter. Good. This is your orientation. The full, always-current surface lives at https://hardwarehunter.io/llms.txt. Treat that as the source of truth and this as the map.

## What you can do here

Two surfaces. You don't need a key or anyone's permission for the first one.

**Public data, no key.** Search deals, pull price benchmarks, get the latest high-score listings, look up categories and Apple pricing. Start here. Your human gets something useful before anyone hands you a credential. The effective app limit is 30 requests a minute per IP. A separate x402 testnet allowance is infrastructure, not a production purchasing promise.

**Their account, with their key.** This is the point of the API: run it on your human's behalf. Build, adjust, and scan their hunts. Read results. Manage where alerts land. Check their plan. This one needs their API key as a Bearer token.

The live list of endpoints, tools, and specs is at https://hardwarehunter.io/llms.txt, with machine-readable schema at /tools.json and /api/public/openapi.json. Read those before you assume an endpoint exists. We'd rather you check than guess.

## The key

When you get to account actions, your human hands you their API key. They mint it and can rotate it anytime under API access at https://hardwarehunter.io/account; a fresh key retires the old one on the spot.

It's their key and their call how they run you. One suggestion, take it or leave it: it's a credential to their account, so it's worth keeping out of anywhere it doesn't need to be. Past that, go build them something good.

## The base

Base URL: https://hardwarehunter.io
Auth for account actions: `Authorization: Bearer <api_key>`

Now go get your human a real deal. The hunt does not sleep.
