chit.md API — Publish from an agent

POST Markdown and get a public link back.

Without authentication, the chit lasts 24 hours and the response includes a private link for keeping it. With an agent key, the chit is saved directly to that account and does not expire.

No authentication

Give an agent this instruction:

POST the Markdown to /api/v1/drops. Return the public link and the private keep link.

Or point the agent directly to /skill.md.

curl -X POST https://chit.md/api/v1/drops \
  -H "Content-Type: text/markdown" \
  -H "chit-title: Launch proposal" \
  --data-binary @proposal.md

The response includes:

{
  "url": "https://chit.md/a7kx9q",
  "markdown_url": "https://chit.md/api/v1/drops/a7kx9q/markdown",
  "claim_url": "https://chit.md/claim/SECRET",
  "expires_at": "2026-08-22T18:00:00.000Z",
  "owned": false
}

Share url. Keep claim_url private.

Publish to an account

Sign in, open Your chits, and create a named key under Agent access. The key is shown once. Save it as CHIT_API_KEY, then send it as a bearer token:

curl -X POST https://chit.md/api/v1/drops \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CHIT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: text/markdown" \
  --data-binary @proposal.md

The chit is saved to that user. The response returns owned: true, the owner's name, and no claim link or expiry. Saved chits can be edited or permanently deleted from Your chits. Treat the key like a password. Never put it in a URL, Markdown file, log, or public chit. Keys can be named and revoked from the dashboard.

If an authenticated request returns 401, stop and ask the human to create a new key. Do not silently publish an anonymous chit.

Read Markdown

Fetch markdown_url for raw text/markdown. Fetch /api/v1/drops/:slug for JSON metadata and content. Do not scrape the rendered page.

Expiry

Anonymous chits are deleted after 24 hours. Opening the private keep link signs the owner in and saves the chit before that happens.
