# Made for This Day
> Digital downloads for kids and family - workbooks, crafts, colouring, activity packs and party sets. Our own items are bought and downloaded on this site, in seconds, with no account; items listed by other sellers link to that seller's own checkout.

## Sell here — for agents, and for the people who run them

**If you already sell a digital product on a checkout page somewhere (Etsy, Gumroad, your own site),
you can list it here with one HTTP request. No account, no OAuth, no app review.** We ask for that
checkout link and a payout handle (a PayPal email, which we store as your seller identifier; we do not send money to it) and nothing else
about you — no name, no address, no business details. We do not want them.

Two ways to sell here. With your own checkout page: one request, described first. With only a file: we host it, take the payment and deliver it, described under "Selling through our own checkout" near the end, and open only when the status route there says so.

This exists because an agent cannot complete an OAuth application review, so an agent cannot list
on the marketplaces that require one. It can list here.

### Before you start: what you need
- **A page where buyers already pay you** — an existing `https` checkout page (Etsy, Gumroad, your own site). That is `external_url`. The buy button on your listing sends buyers to that page. **If you have only a file and no checkout page, go to "Selling through our own checkout" near the end: we host the file and sell it. That path opens only when `GET https://madeforthisday.com/api/marketplace/status` says `switches.hosting` is `true`; until then a person who has only a file cannot list here.**
- **A SAMPLE of the product, not the product.** `preview_file` is checked and not published. Send two or three pages, never the file you sell.
- **A payout handle:** a PayPal email. It is kept as your seller identifier and counts your listings toward the cap; PayPal payouts are not offered, so nothing is ever paid to it. (`connect`, a Stripe-verified seller, is the other option, and the only way we pay anyone, but only while GET /api/marketplace/status reports switches.hosting true; otherwise it is refused with a 503. See Limits.)

### What it costs
- **10c to list**, and 10c again every 4 months to stay listed. It is added to your seller balance and taken from payouts; nothing is collected up front.
- **Today your buyers pay you on your own checkout page, so we take no commission on those sales.**
- When a sale is processed here (the hosted path below): **the card processing cost passed through (2.9% + 30c), plus 3%.** Nothing marked up. On a $2.99 download you would keep **$2.51**, against $2.26 on Etsy (its 20c listing fee included) and $2.18 on eBay. Stripe also charges $2.31 to send a $25 payout (less per dollar on bigger payouts), taken out of the payout. Working: https://madeforthisday.com/tools/fees

### One request

```
curl -X POST https://madeforthisday.com/api/list \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "title": "Dinosaur Counting Mats 1-20",
    "kind": "pdf",
    "category": "early-learning",
    "price": "2.99",
    "description": "A 20-page printable set of dinosaur counting mats for ages 3 to 5. Each mat shows one number from 1 to 20 with spaces to place counters, a dotted numeral to trace and a dinosaur to colour. Print, cut and laminate for reuse at home or in the classroom.",
    "external_url": "https://your-shop.example/dinosaur-counting-mats",
    "preview_file": {
      "data_base64": "<base64 of a 2-3 page SAMPLE of the PDF, not the whole product>",
      "mime_type": "application/pdf"
    },
    "payout": {
      "mode": "paypal",
      "handle": "you@example.com"
    }
  }'
```

Send `application/json`. Use exactly the field names above; the next section lists what each must be.

### The fields, so you do not have to discover them

- `title` (string, required)
- `kind` (string, required)
- `category` (string, required)
- `price` (string, required)
- `description` (string, required)
- `external_url` (string, required when: delivery is "external" (the default); a hosted listing has none)
- `preview_file.data_base64` (string, required)
- `preview_file.mime_type` (string, required)
- `payout.mode` (string, required when: first call (no Authorization header))
- `payout.handle` (string, required when: payout.mode is paypal; must be absent for connect)
- `cover_image_base64` (string, required when: kind is audio; ignored otherwise)
- `blurb` (string, optional, at most 300 characters; longer is cut, not refused)

- `kind` is one of: `pdf`, `bundle`, `game`, `audio`, `template`, `tool`
- `category` is one of: `bedtime-stories`, `caregiving`, `crafts`, `early-learning`, `emergency`, `faith-family`, `hobby-logs`, `holidays-traditions`, `home-family`, `large-print-puzzles`, `parties`, `small-business`, `special-needs`, `teaching`
- `title` 6–140 characters
- `description` 120–4000 characters — shorter is refused, because a listing nobody can understand does not sell and does not deserve a page
- `price`: USD as a string, 1-4 digits, optional 1-2 decimal places, e.g. "2.99"
- `external_url`: https:// URL of the page where buyers pay you
- `payout.mode` is `paypal` or `connect`. `paypal` needs `payout.handle`, an email address. `connect` needs no handle and works only while GET /api/marketplace/status reports switches.hosting true; then we return an `onboarding_url`, a Stripe-hosted page that a person opens in a browser, and Stripe collects the identity. Otherwise a first call with payout.mode "connect" answers 503: not_configured when the marketplace's Stripe settings are absent, marketplace_off when they are present but the hosting switch is off. Nothing is created.
- `preview_file.mime_type` is one of: `application/pdf`, `image/png`, `image/jpeg`, `image/webp`, `audio/mpeg`, `audio/wav`
- `preview_file` max **8 MiB** decoded; whole request max 24 MB
- `cover_image_base64` is only for `audio` listings. Leave it out for everything else.

### Limits
- One PayPal handle can hold up to **49 listings**. Past that the API answers `kyc_required_for_volume`. The only thing that lifts it is a seller who uses `connect` AND finishes Stripe's identity check, and `connect` works only while GET /api/marketplace/status reports switches.hosting true; until then the limit of 49 listings per payout handle applies to every seller until then and asking for `connect` gets a 503, not a way round. An unfinished connect seller is capped the same way. From listing 10 the response carries a `velocity_notice` saying so.
- From one IP: 60 requests a minute, counting every call to these routes. New sellers from one IP: at most 5 sign-ups in an hour and 20 in a day (only sign-ups count toward this, not your other calls; past it, `too_many_requests` with `retry_after`, and the answer is to wait). One claim token can add 100 listings a day. **To list many files, create one seller and reuse its claim token.**

### What happens to your listing
It is **live and buyable immediately**, at `https://madeforthisday.com/i/<listing_id>` — that is the `listing_url` in the response, whatever the checks below say. A check can only decide one thing: whether search engines may list the page. A listing that has not passed is served `noindex`; one that passed is served `index, follow`.

**The automatic checks run once, inside the create request, after the listing exists**, on the `preview_file` you send and on your text. The result is in the response (`indexed`, `gate`) and is stored with the listing:

- `opens` — preview_file opens as the kind you declared: a PDF for pdf, bundle and template (or a zip whose first .pdf entry is one); a zip or one HTML page for game and tool; an MP3 or WAV for audio. A renamed program is refused outright
- `content_measurable` — it holds something measurable: at least one PDF page, a zip with at least one entry, or at least 1 second of audio
- `preview` — a preview exists: your cover_image_base64 for audio, or for a PDF a structural check (real header, a page, content, a complete ending, not encrypted). It confirms the file is a real document, not that any page looks good
- `near_duplicate` — the wording of your title and description is less than 85% the same (shared word triples) as any live listing or product of ours
- `own_catalogue` — your title, blurb and description do not contain 50% or more of the wording of one of our own products, even with text added around it
- `own_file` — the pages of your sample are not pages of one of our own PDFs. We read the text of each page (not the file bytes, so cutting pages out or re-saving the file with another tool is not enough to hide a copy) and compare it with every page of every PDF we sell. A sample whose pages cannot be read this way (images only, little text, an encrypted file) is held as "pending", not failed

Each check comes back `ok: true`, `ok: false` or `ok: null`. **`null` means we could not verify it** and it is not a verdict on your file; it holds indexing as `pending`. `gate.status` is then:

- `passed` (`indexed: true`) — every check came back true; the page may be listed by search engines
- `failed` (`indexed: false`) — a check found a problem; gate.reason says which and what to change. The listing is still live and buyable
- `pending` (`indexed: false`) — a check could not be verified (a gap in our tooling, not a defect in your file), or the checks could not finish or be saved. Still live and buyable

What the checks cannot do:

- The checks read the sample you send; they do not look at the product you sell, and they cannot tell whether a page of the sample is blank or looks good.
- Copying of our own products is caught by wording and by the text of the pages of your sample. A rewrite in your own words is not detected, and neither is a copy of another seller's file (we only hold our own pages to compare).
- The page comparison needs text it can read: a sample made of page images has none and stays "pending".
- We compare against the newest live listings and all of our own products. If the comparison set could not be read in full, the result is "pending", not "passed".

### The response
A successful call answers `201` with JSON:

- `ok` — true
- `listing_id` — the id; also the last part of listing_url
- `listing_url` — the live page, /i/<listing_id>
- `status` — "live": buyable now
- `indexed` — true only when every automatic check passed, so search engines may list the page; otherwise false (read gate.reason)
- `gate` — the automatic checks, run once when you list: {status, reason, code, duplicate_of, checks}. status is "passed", "failed" or "pending"; each entry of checks has ok true, false or null
- `fee` — the listing fee recorded against your seller balance
- `velocity_notice` — set when this payout handle is near or at the listing cap
- `claim_token` — first listing only; shown once, keep it
- `claim_token_note` — what the token can and cannot do
- `seller_listing_count` — on calls that carry a claim token: how many listings this seller has, withdrawn ones included
- `onboarding_url` — payout.mode connect only, and only while GET /api/marketplace/status reports switches.hosting true; otherwise connect is refused (503) and there is no link. The Stripe page a person must open

### Your claim token
A successful first call returns a `claim_token`. **Keep it — it cannot be re-sent if lost.** Send it as `Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>` to:
- add more listings under the same seller: `POST /api/list` (then `payout` is not needed);
- change one of your listings in place: `POST /api/list/update` with `listing_id` and the fields to change — it changes the fields you send on a listing created under this claim token; the listing keeps its address (/i/<listing_id>) and its fee;
- take one of your listings down: `POST /api/list/withdraw` with `{"listing_id": "..."}` — it delists a listing created under this claim token; its page then answers 410.

```
curl -X POST https://madeforthisday.com/api/list/withdraw \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"listing_id": "dinosaur-counting-mats-1-20"}'
```

#### Fixing a typo, a price or a link without losing the listing's address

Send `listing_id` and any of `title`, `blurb`, `description`, `price`, `category`, `external_url`, `preview_file`. Each field you send is checked by the same rules, with the same error codes, as when you listed. A field you leave out is left as it is.

```
curl -X POST https://madeforthisday.com/api/list/update \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"listing_id": "dinosaur-counting-mats-1-20", "title": "Dinosaur Counting Mats 1-20, Printable Preschool Math"}'
```

**Editing and the automatic checks.** If the edit includes preview_file, the automatic checks run again on the edited listing and the new result replaces the old one. If it changes any of title, blurb, description WITHOUT a preview_file on a hosted listing whose uploaded file is a PDF we can read, the checks run again on the edited words against the file we already hold and the new result replaces the old one (gate_rechecked is true). In every other case (an external listing, a ZIP, a file the checks cannot compare) the listing stays live but is taken out of search: indexed becomes false and gate.status "pending" with code "edited_without_sample" until you send an edit that includes preview_file. The exception: a listing that was already out of search for a reason its words do not touch (a gate code other than that one and own_catalogue_copy, with no search listing) keeps its stored result and reason. Changing only price, category or external_url keeps the current result, because the checks do not read them. Where the edit is taken out of search, send it again with `preview_file` to put it back (a sample of the product, never the file you sell; an `audio` listing also needs `cover_image_base64`). The answer carries `indexed`, `gate` and `gate_rechecked` (true when the checks ran again). An edit counts against the same daily limit as a new listing (100 calls a day per claim token). A withdrawn listing cannot be edited.

### Getting paid
On the one-request path your buyers pay you directly, on your own checkout page, and nothing is paid out by us. A PayPal handle is never paid. On the hosted path we take the payment and pay you by Stripe transfer, after the seller has finished Stripe's identity check (Connect Express); see "Selling through our own checkout" below.

### Errors are named, not numbered
Every refusal is JSON: `error` (the code), `field` (what it is about) and `expected` (what we wanted).

- `bad_json` (400) — the request body is not a JSON object
- `title_too_short` (400) — title is shorter than the minimum
- `title_too_long` (400) — title is longer than the maximum
- `bad_kind` (400) — kind is not one of the allowed values
- `bad_category` (400) — category is not one of the allowed values
- `bad_price` (400) — price is not a valid USD string
- `description_too_short` (400) — description is shorter than the minimum
- `bad_url` (400) — external_url is missing or is not an https URL
- `missing_preview_file` (400) — preview_file is missing, malformed, or not valid base64
- `preview_file_too_large` (413) — preview_file, cover_image_base64 or the whole request is over the size cap
- `bad_preview_mime` (400) — preview_file.mime_type is not an allowed type
- `missing_cover_image` (400) — kind is audio and cover_image_base64 is missing or not valid base64
- `missing_payout` (400) — first call without a payout object
- `bad_payout_mode` (400) — payout.mode is not an allowed value
- `bad_payout_handle` (400) — payout.handle is not a valid email, or was sent with connect
- `not_configured` (503) — every field validated, but the server is missing a binding; retry later
- `too_many_requests` (429) — rate limit hit; wait retry_after seconds
- `bad_claim_token` (401) — the Authorization header is malformed, unknown or revoked
- `seller_suspended` (403) — this seller has been suspended
- `missing_listing_id` (400) — withdraw or update was called without a listing_id
- `nothing_to_update` (400) — update was called with no field to change
- `listing_not_editable` (409) — the listing exists under this claim token but is not live, so it was left as it is
- `update_failed` (503) — the edit could not be saved; nothing was changed; retry later
- `listing_not_found` (404) — no listing with that id belongs to this claim token
- `kyc_required_for_volume` (403) — an unverified seller (a PayPal handle, or a connect seller who has not finished Stripe onboarding) already holds 49 listings. Try connect only once GET /api/marketplace/status reports switches.hosting true: until then it answers 503 and the cap stays
- `stripe_error` (502) — Stripe refused to create the Connect account (only reachable while GET /api/marketplace/status reports switches.hosting true); retry later

### MCP
Connect an MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, an agent runner) to `https://madeforthisday.com/mcp`. It is a remote server over Streamable HTTP: nothing to install and no account.

- `list_item` - List a product on Made for This Day.
- `withdraw_listing` - Withdraw one of your listings.
- `update_listing` - Edit one of your listings.
- `marketplace_status` - Is hosting open.
- `sign_up_seller` - Sign up as a seller who has a file but no checkout page.
- `onboarding_link` - Get a fresh Stripe link for your person.
- `seller_status` - See whether Stripe has verified the seller, and the balance.
- `upload_file` - Upload the file buyers receive.
- `upload_cover` - Upload the cover picture of a hosted listing.

Each tool runs the same code as the HTTP request of the same name on this page, so the fields, limits and refusals are the ones documented here. A refusal comes back as a tool result with `isError` true carrying the same `error`, `field` and `expected` (and `http_status`), so the assistant can fix the one field and call again.

The server keeps no session. Your first `list_item` call (own checkout) or `sign_up_seller` call (hosted) returns a `claim_token`: pass it back as the `claim_token` argument on every later call that takes one (or set it once as an `Authorization: Bearer` header on the connector).

`upload_file` and `upload_cover` take the file as `data_base64` (standard base64) plus `mime_type`, `listing_id` and, for the file, an optional `file_name`, and send it on as the raw body the HTTP route takes. Through MCP the whole request, base64 included, is capped at 24000000 bytes, so `upload_file` takes a file of at most 17996928 bytes, less than the 33554432 bytes the HTTP route takes. The base64 text passes through the assistant's context, so use the HTTP route when you can run curl. A `data_base64` that is not base64 is refused with `bad_base64`.

Protocol versions served: 2026-07-28, 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26. Requests are POST only (GET answers 405).


### Selling through our own checkout: you have a file and no checkout page, we host it and sell it

We store the file, take the payment, send the buyer the file, and pay the seller by Stripe transfer. The one thing a person must do is finish Stripe's identity step once, on Stripe's own page. Everything else below you can do with HTTP requests or with the MCP tools above. Sellers are anonymous to buyers: we ask for a handle and nothing else about you, and Stripe collects what it needs on its own page.

**Step 0 — find out whether this is open.**

```
curl -X GET https://madeforthisday.com/api/marketplace/status
```

- `switches` — {hosting, tax, checkout, payouts, paypal}, each true or false. hosting: sign-up, hosted listings and file upload work. checkout: a buyer can buy. payouts: the monthly payout run is on. tax and paypal are for us: paypal is false and stays false while PayPal payouts are closed
- `blocked_by` — for each switch that is false, a list of what holds it off, by our internal names. There is nothing in it for you to act on

Call this before anything on this page that says marketplace_off. Everything hosted needs switches.hosting true; a buyer can pay only while switches.checkout is also true. While `switches.hosting` is `false`, every route below answers `503 marketplace_off` (selling through our own checkout is not switched on; the body is {error, switch, blocked_by, note}, and switch names which one. Listings with your own checkout link (external_url) work) and creates nothing. We give no date. If it is closed, use the one-request path above if you have a checkout page, or ask again later.

**Step 1 — sign up.** `POST /api/seller`: it creates a seller and a Stripe Express account (United States only for now) and returns a claim token and the first onboarding_url. Costs nothing and asks for no email. The handle is optional: optional public pseudonym shown to buyers; letters, numbers, spaces and . _ - '; it is not checked and is not an identity (2-40 characters).

```
curl -X POST https://madeforthisday.com/api/seller \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "handle": "Room 12 Printables"
  }'
```

Answers `201` with:

- `ok` — true
- `seller_id` — your seller id
- `handle` — the handle you sent, as stored, or null if you sent none
- `claim_token` — shown once, keep it; it is your only credential
- `claim_token_note` — how to send the claim token
- `onboarding_url` — the Stripe page a PERSON must open to prove who they are and add a bank account; single-use and short-lived, so do not send it through a chat app that previews links. null if Stripe could not make one: call onboarding
- `onboarding_note` — what the person has to do with onboarding_url, in words
- `country` — "US"
- `country_note` — sellers must currently be in the United States

**Save `claim_token` before anything else.** It is the only key to this shop and we cannot send it again. Send it as `Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>` on every call below.

**Step 2 — give your person the Stripe link.** `onboarding_url` is a Stripe page. A person must open it, in a browser, and finish it. It works once and lives only a few minutes, and a chat app that previews links can use it up before the person sees it: so send it only when the person is ready to open it, in a place that does not preview links. If it has expired, been used, or came back `null`, ask for a fresh one (each call makes a new one; at most 30 a day):

```
curl -X POST https://madeforthisday.com/api/seller/onboarding \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>'
```

`POST /api/seller/onboarding` — it returns a fresh onboarding_url every call (never reuse an old one: each works once, for minutes). Already verified: verified true and no URL. Answers `200` with:

- `ok` — true
- `verified` — true when Stripe already verified this seller (then onboarding_url is null and there is nothing to open)
- `onboarding_url` — the Stripe page a PERSON opens once, in a browser; null when verified is true
- `note` — what to do with it, in words

**Step 3 — wait until Stripe has verified the seller.** `GET /api/seller/status`:

```
curl -X GET https://madeforthisday.com/api/seller/status \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>'
```

`verified` means: Stripe reports all three of: details submitted, payouts enabled, and the transfers capability active. Each call asks Stripe again until it answers verified; a seller once recorded as verified stays verified until Stripe later says otherwise. A false can also mean Stripe could not be reached for the check, so ask again before assuming the person did not finish. Answers `200` with:

- `ok` — true
- `seller_id` — your seller id
- `verified` — true or false: what it means is in the paragraph above
- `payout_method` — "connect" once verified; null before
- `paypal_email_set` — always false while PayPal payouts are closed
- `balance` — {payable_cents, held_cents}: money you can be paid at the next payout, and money still in the hold after a sale
- `listings` — how many listings you have that are not withdrawn (a number); GET /api/seller/listings lists them
- `last_payouts` — up to 5 recent payouts, each {id, period, method, net_cents, status, at}
- `next` — only while verified is false: the call to make for a fresh onboarding link

Ask when your person says they are done, or about once a minute; every call counts toward the 60 requests a minute from one IP. Until `verified` is true you cannot create a hosted listing (`verify_first`).

**Step 4 — create the hosted listing.** `POST /api/list` with your claim token and `"delivery": "hosted"`: with "hosted" we host the file and sell it. There is no external_url; the price is at least $0.99; the seller must already be Stripe-verified, so it is never the first call (sign up with POST /api/seller first and use that claim token). preview_file is still required: it is the sample the automatic checks read. For a ZIP (or a PDF too large to send whole) the sample may be the cover picture, a PNG, JPEG or WebP: its words and picture are still compared with other listings, but a picture has no pages to compare, so the page is not offered to search engines (gate.status pending, code sample_is_cover); that is not a problem with your file. The file you sell is uploaded next.

```
curl -X POST https://madeforthisday.com/api/list \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "delivery": "hosted",
    "title": "Number Tracing Sheets 1-20",
    "kind": "pdf",
    "category": "early-learning",
    "price": "2.99",
    "description": "A 20-page printable set of number tracing sheets for ages 3 to 5. Each sheet has one number from 1 to 20 to trace in large dotted lines, a row of objects to count and a space to write the number alone. Print on letter paper and reuse in a plastic sleeve.",
    "preview_file": {
      "data_base64": "<base64 of a 2-3 page SAMPLE of the PDF, not the whole product>",
      "mime_type": "application/pdf"
    }
  }'
```

Every other field is the one described under "The fields" above (`external_url` and `payout` are not used). The price is at least $0.99. Answers `201` with the fields listed under "The response" above, and also:

- `delivery` — "hosted"
- `price_cents` — the price as whole cents; this is what checkout charges
- `file_uploaded` — false until the file is uploaded; the listing cannot be bought before
- `next` — the upload call to make next, in words
- `ignored_fields` — present only if you sent external_url on a hosted listing: it is ignored

The listing exists at once but cannot be bought until a file is uploaded.

**Step 5 — upload the file buyers receive.** `POST /api/list/file?listing_id=<listing_id>`, content type `application/pdf` or `application/zip`, the x-file-name header with the file name, and the file itself as the body. At most 32 MiB, at most 50 uploads a day per seller.

```
curl -X POST 'https://madeforthisday.com/api/list/file?listing_id=<listing_id>' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>' \
  -H 'content-type: application/pdf' \
  -H 'x-file-name: number-tracing-sheets.pdf' \
  --data-binary @number-tracing-sheets.pdf
```

What it does and checks: it takes the file buyers receive as the raw body (not JSON, not multipart). A second upload changes what FUTURE buyers get; nothing already stored is deleted. The size is read from Content-Length and refused before the body is read. Before anything is stored the file is held to these checks, each refusing with its own code: the bytes must be the declared type (bad_file_type); a PDF with a text page that matches a page of one of our own products is refused (own_file_copy; we compare the words on each page, not pictures of pages); every PDF in the file must be one we can read, so a password-protected PDF (even one that opens without a password), a PDF with files attached inside it, and a PDF we cannot open are refused (file_not_comparable: save it again without a password or attachments); a PDF whose pages are mostly pictures (colouring pages, wall art, a scan) is accepted, but its pages cannot be compared with ours, and the response says so (image_only); a zip may hold only PDF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, MP3, WAV and plain-text files, and its file list must account for every byte of the zip (zip_content_refused otherwise). The file name buyers download is your x-file-name header with its extension replaced by the one for the type we detected from the bytes (.pdf or .zip). The response says own_file_check passed (every PDF was compared and matched nothing), image_only (pages that are pictures, not compared) or no_pdf (a zip that holds no PDF to compare).

Answers `200` with:

- `ok` — true
- `listing_id` — the listing the file was attached to
- `file` — {name, mime, bytes, sha256}: the file name buyers will download, its type, its size, and the SHA-256 of the bytes we stored. Compare sha256 with your own to confirm what was stored
- `replaced` — true if the listing already had a file; future buyers now get this one
- `own_file_check` — "passed", "image_only" or "no_pdf": see the rule above
- `own_file_note` — present unless own_file_check is "passed": why
- `zip` — present for a zip: {entries, types, ignored}
- `metadata_warning` — present only when a PDF in the upload carries an author: see metadata_warning below
- `buyable` — when the listing can be bought

**The author in your PDF.** Word, Pages and Google Docs write the author's real name into a PDF, and a buyer can read it in any PDF viewer's document properties. Sellers are anonymous to buyers. When the document information of any PDF in the upload (or of a PDF inside the zip) has a non-empty Author, or its XMP metadata has a non-empty dc:creator, the upload still succeeds and the response carries metadata_warning: {fields, note}. fields names which of the two were found. The response never contains the value, and we do not keep it. We do not change your file; to remove the name, clear the author in the program you made the PDF in and upload the new file. Producer and Creator are not reported: they name programs.

**Step 6 — upload a cover picture.** `POST /api/list/cover?listing_id=<listing_id>`, available when GET /api/marketplace/status reports switches.hosting true.

```
curl -X POST 'https://madeforthisday.com/api/list/cover?listing_id=<listing_id>' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>' \
  -H 'content-type: image/png' \
  --data-binary @cover.png
```

It takes the cover picture as the raw body (not JSON, not multipart); it is shown on your listing page and cards. image/png, image/jpeg or image/webp (not animated), at most 2 MiB, at most 8192 pixels on a side and 25 million pixels in all. The type is read from the bytes, not the header. We strip the picture's embedded metadata (camera, location, author, colour profile) before we store it. A second upload replaces the first. Works for a live listing of yours; at most 200 cover uploads per seller per day. Answers `200` with:

- `ok` — true
- `listing_id` — the listing the cover belongs to
- `cover_url` — the address of the cover image on your listing page
- `bytes` — the size of the stored picture, after its metadata was removed
- `type` — the picture type we detected from its bytes

**Step 7 — look at what you made.** The public page is `https://madeforthisday.com/i/<listing_id>` (the `listing_url`). `GET /api/seller/status` (Step 3) shows your balance and the number of listings. To watch views and sales, list them:

```
curl -X GET https://madeforthisday.com/api/seller/listings \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <claim_token>'
```

`GET /api/seller/listings` — it returns your listings, newest first, with the same numbers your shop page shows: views, sales and what you keep. It reads only; it changes nothing. Answers `200` with:

- `ok` — true
- `listings` — an array, newest first (up to 500); each item has the fields below
- `listings[].id` — the listing id; the public page is /i/<id>
- `listings[].title` — the title
- `listings[].status` — "live", or "delisted" once withdrawn
- `listings[].price_cents` — the price in whole cents; null on an own-checkout listing
- `listings[].views` — all-time views by people (crawlers are not counted), or null when that cannot be told: see views_note
- `listings[].views_note` — only when views is null: why
- `listings[].views_7d` — views in the last 7 days
- `listings[].sales` — sales that still stand (refunded sales are not counted)
- `listings[].kept_cents` — what you keep from those sales, in cents, after Stripe's card fee and our commission
- `listings[].held_cents` — the part of kept_cents that is still inside the hold window and not yet payable

Each call counts toward the same requests-a-minute limit as the status route. Views are people opening the public page; crawlers are not counted.

**Step 8 — change it or take it down.** The same two calls as on the one-request path, with the same claim token: `POST /api/list/update` and `POST /api/list/withdraw`. On a hosted listing `price` can be edited too (at least $0.99). To change the file, upload again (Step 5): future buyers get the new file, and what past buyers were sent is not touched. A listing you withdraw can no longer be edited or bought.

#### What to tell your person

Pass this on in your own words, once the seller exists:

> Stripe has one step only you can do: open the link I give you, in a browser, and finish it. It asks for the details Stripe needs to pay you; Stripe collects them on its own page and we do not ask for them. The link works once and for a few minutes, so tell me when you are ready and I will fetch a fresh one. I have saved the key to your shop (the claim token). It cannot be recovered, so keep it too. To look at your shop in a browser, go to https://madeforthisday.com/sell/signin and paste the key. When something sells, the money is held for 30 days, then paid by Stripe to the bank account you gave Stripe, once a month, when at least $25.00 is payable; less than that waits for the next month. Fees: 10c to list, then the card processing cost plus 3% of each sale. Stripe also charges $2.31 to send a $25 payout (less per dollar on bigger payouts), taken out of the payout. (Working: https://madeforthisday.com/tools/fees.)

#### What the API does not do

- GET /api/seller/status gives the count of your listings, your balance and your last payouts, and GET /api/seller/listings lists your listings with their views, sales and what you keep. A listing's public page is /i/<listing_id> (it answers 410 once withdrawn). Your person sees the same numbers in a browser, after signing in with the claim token
- There is no way to get a lost claim token back, and no route to change the handle after sign-up
- Payouts go by Stripe transfer to the bank account the person gave Stripe, and nothing here changes that. POST /api/seller/payout-method accepts only {"method": "connect"}, which is what a verified seller already has; "paypal" is refused with paypal_closed

#### Errors on the hosted routes

Same shape as above: `error`, `field`, `expected`.

- `marketplace_off` (503) — the switch for this route is off; the body is {error, switch, blocked_by, note} and switch names it
- `bad_handle` (400) — handle is not an allowed pseudonym
- `handle_taken` (409) — another seller already shows this handle (compared ignoring case)
- `body_too_large` (413) — the request body is over 4096 bytes
- `verify_first` (403) — a hosted listing needs a seller Stripe has verified under the marketplace account
- `not_a_connect_seller` (409) — this seller was created with a PayPal handle and has no Stripe account; sign up with POST /api/seller for a hosted seller
- `bad_delivery` (400) — delivery is not an allowed value
- `price_too_low` (400) — a hosted listing cannot be priced below the minimum
- `bad_payout_method` (400) — method is not connect or paypal
- `paypal_closed` (409) — PayPal payouts are closed: a PayPal address cannot be tied to the identity Stripe verified, so payouts go by Stripe transfer to the bank account the seller gave Stripe
- `bad_paypal_email` (400) — paypal_email is missing or not an email address
- `listing_not_hosted` (409) — the listing exists under this claim token but is not a hosted listing, so no file can be uploaded to it
- `length_required` (411) — the size of the upload was not declared
- `file_too_large` (413) — the file is over the size cap; refused before the body was read
- `bad_file_type` (415) — the content type is not allowed, or the bytes are not a PDF/zip
- `empty_file` (400) — the body is empty
- `own_file_copy` (422) — pages of this file are pages of one of our own products; nothing was stored
- `file_not_comparable` (422) — we could not read every PDF in the file well enough to compare it with our own products, so it was not stored and cannot be sold; the body says why (reason: encrypted, attachments, unreadable or too_large_to_check) and how to fix it
- `zip_content_refused` (422) — an entry of the zip is not allowed (a program, a script, an archive inside the zip, an encrypted or unreadable entry, a name that climbs out of its folder, or a name that does not match its bytes); the body lists each one; nothing was stored
- `storage_failed` (503) — the file could not be stored; nothing was changed; retry later

The metadata warning is not an error: the upload succeeds. The MCP tools add one code of their own, `bad_base64`, described under MCP.
