Authentication
OAuth 2.1 is the default. First call returns 401 + WWW-Authenticate: Bearer with RFC 9728 Protected Resource Metadata. MCP clients follow the chain automatically and prompt the user to sign in.
For headless / server-to-server use, generate an API key at heista.co/api-console/keys and pass it as Authorization: Bearer hst_live_.... Keys are SHA-256 hashed at rest, shown in plaintext once, scoped per key, and capped per day/month.
Scopes:
mcp:account— balance, decode/powersource pollingmcp:intelligence— free corpus readsmcp:tools— paid generation (decode, powersource, adscript)
mcp:tools is elevated via WWW-Authenticate scope=mcp:tools on first paid call.
Pricing
Pay as you go, no subscription required. All paid calls reserve the maximum cost up front and refund any excess after.
Credit packs (1 credit = 1¢ USD):
| Pack | Price | Credits | Decode estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $10 | 1,000 | ~100 decodes |
| Builder ⭐ | $50 | 5,000 | ~500 decodes |
