PipeAgent Feed Publishing Guidelines

Version: 2026.04.04

Applies to: All Data Providers listing on PipeAgent

To keep Turn insights into APIs trustworthy for downstream agents, every feed must meet our Pipe-Ready Standards—structured JSON, reliable sync, and clear rights. By publishing, you confirm you own or may distribute the data and will maintain quality and legality.

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.

    • 5. Liability shield (provider responsibility)

    While PipeAgent conducts a preliminary review of all data feeds, the Data Provider remains solely liable for the data content, legality, and accuracy. PipeAgent reserves the right to remove any feed immediately if it violates our acceptable use policy or triggers a copyright/compliance complaint.
