Getting Started with AI Payment Proxy

Welcome to AI Payment Proxy

AI Payment Proxy lets you give your AI agent a single-use virtual Visa card with a hard spending limit. This guide gets you from zero to your first card in under 5 minutes.

Step 1 — Get your API key

Sign up at aipaymentproxy.com/signup. After onboarding, your API key will be shown once. Copy it and store it securely.

Your API key looks like: aipp_live_...

Step 2 — Create your first card

curl -X POST https://aipaymentproxy.com/api/v1/cards \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d {"label":"My first card","limit_usd":10}

Step 3 — Reveal the card credentials

curl https://aipaymentproxy.com/api/v1/cards/CARD_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

This returns the card number, CVV, and expiry date. Use these at any online checkout.

Step 4 — Cancel the card

curl -X DELETE https://aipaymentproxy.com/api/v1/cards/CARD_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Always cancel cards after use. A $0.50 fee is charged when you reveal card credentials.
