What This Skill Does

This skill gives your AI agent access to a monthly gig economy dataset. The agent can:

Authentication

All requests require a bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY

API Base URL

https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent

Workflow

1. Bootstrap

Always start here. Confirms your key works and returns the endpoint map.

curl -s \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/bootstrap"

2. Ask (primary entrypoint)

Turn natural language into structured market analysis:

curl -s \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/ask" \
  -d '{
    "question": "What are the fastest-growing freelance categories this month?",
    "saveFocus": true
  }'

The response includes:

Example questions:

3. Drill down with query endpoints

After `ask` identifies a promising angle, use structured queries:

**Available months:**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/months"

**Monthly stats:**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/stats?month=2026-03"

**Category rollups (sorted by revenue):**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/category-rollups?month=2026-03&sort=avg_revenue&limit=20"

**Search snapshots:**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/snapshots?month=2026-03&category_slug=business-plans&limit=20"

**Single snapshot detail:**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/snapshot?snapshot_id=<SNAPSHOT_ID>"

**Track a gig over time:**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/gig-history?gig_id=<GIG_ID>&limit=12"

**Aggregate pain points:**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/pain-points?month=2026-03&q=plan&limit=20"

4. Focus system (save and rerun)

Save useful analyses as durable Focuses that can be rerun against new monthly data:

**List workspaces:**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/workspaces"

**List focuses in a workspace:**

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/workspaces/<WORKSPACE_ID>/focuses"

**Rerun a focus:**

curl -s -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/focuses/<FOCUS_ID>/run" \
  -d '{}'

5. SSE streaming (optional)

For incremental row consumption:

curl -N -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/sse/category-rollups?month=2026-03"
