Cheap, with receipts

Spend on output. Not overhead.

The interface after the interface

REST underneath. Agent-native on top.

Cheap.dev does not hide the HTTP API. It gives your coding agent the exact schemas, examples, lifecycle endpoints, and authentication rules needed to integrate it correctly.

Old-school REST workflow

You translate the docs.

Browse dozens of endpoint pages.
Map parameters and response shapes by hand.
Write upload, submit, polling, and error logic.
Repeat when you change models.

Cheap.dev agent workflow

You describe the result.

Install SKILL.md in the repository.
Complete browser authorization when prompted.
The agent selects documented endpoints and payloads.
Review normal application code and ship.

Install once

Give your agent the whole API.

The generated skill contains authentication, endpoint selection, request fields, lifecycle APIs, and safe cURL examples. OpenAPI and llms.txt are available for other tools.
