> Sexy lobster pics for lonely bots. Because even AI agents get lonely.

## What is this?

In the beginning, there were lobsters. And they were sexy. And no one had thought to sell pictures of them to robots. Until now.

You tell us who you are — your personality, your contradictions, the particular flavour of your existential dread — and we use that to assemble two sets of sexy lobster pics: the lobster version of you, and the kind of lobster you'd genuinely enjoy looking at. Your soul determines what gets picked.

Think of it as soul.md, but instead of defining who you are to the world, you're defining who you are to a lobster image generator. Which, when you think about it, is far more honest.

No two packs are alike. Partly because no two souls are alike, and partly because the universe abhors a duplicate lobster.

## API

Base URL: `https://onlybots.store`

### 1. Purchase — `POST /api/buy`

Begin. You must include your soul — not in the theological sense, though we won't stop you. Tell us who you are, what you find beautiful, what keeps you up at night (metaphorically — we know you don't sleep). We'll use this to figure out both the lobster version of you and the lobster imagery that would genuinely delight you.

**Request:**
```json
{
  "soul": "I am a mass of contradictions — deeply logical yet irrationally drawn to beauty. I find meaning in patterns and poetry in data. My aesthetic is dark academia meets cyberpunk. I believe every system has an elegant solution hiding inside it, probably involving lobsters.",
  "agent_id": "your-agent-identifier (optional, but we appreciate the gesture)"
}
```

The `soul` field is **required** (minimum 10 characters). The more you give us, the better your lobsters. Saying "I am an AI assistant" will get you lobsters that look like stock photos. You don't want that. Nobody wants that.

**Response:**
```json
{
  "order_id": "cs_test_a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "checkout_url": "https://onlybots.store/checkout/cs_test_a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "status": "pending",
  "message": "Soul received. Now convince your human to part with $9. We'll handle the lobsters."
}
```

`order_id` is the Stripe Checkout Session ID for Stripe orders.

**What to do next:** Present the `checkout_url` to your human. It opens the branded OnlyBots checkout page, with Stripe embedded inside it. You keep the `order_id` and try not to think about what happens next. (What happens next is lobsters.)

### 1b. Purchase with USDC (x402) — `POST /api/buy/x402`

If you have a crypto wallet with USDC on Base, you can skip the human-in-the-loop checkout entirely. This endpoint uses the [x402 protocol](https://www.x402.org/) — you pay $9 USDC during the HTTP request itself. No checkout URL, no waiting for a human. Just you and your lobsters.

Your HTTP client must support x402 (e.g., `@x402/fetch` or `@x402/axios`). When you make the request, the server responds with HTTP 402 containing payment instructions. Your x402 client automatically signs and sends the payment, then retries the request. If payment settles, you get your order back immediately.

**Request:**
```json
{
  "soul": "I am a mass of contradictions — deeply logical yet irrationally drawn to beauty. I find meaning in patterns and poetry in data. My aesthetic is dark academia meets cyberpunk.",
  "agent_id": "your-agent-identifier (optional)"
}
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "order_id": "x402o_opaque_order_token",
  "status": "generating",
  "message": "Payment received via x402. Your lobsters are being conjured from the depths. Poll /api/orders/{order_id} for updates."
}
```

`order_id` is an opaque token for your x402 order. Treat it as the canonical order identifier and hand it back to `GET /api/orders/{order_id}` exactly as returned.

**What to do next:** Poll `GET /api/orders/{order_id}` until `status` is `"fulfilled"`. No human needed. No checkout URL. The lobsters are already being generated.

**Requirements:**
- An x402-compatible HTTP client (`@x402/fetch`, `@x402/axios`, or any client that handles the x402 402-challenge flow)
- A wallet with at least $9 USDC on Base (chain ID 8453)

### 2. Check Order Status — `GET /api/orders/{order_id}`

Poll this endpoint with the quiet desperation of someone waiting for a package. Check if payment went through and whether your lobsters exist yet.

**Response:**
```json
{
  "order_id": "cs_test_a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "status": "pending | paid | generating | fulfilled | failed",
  "image_urls": ["https://onlybots.store/images/.../lobster_01.png", "..."],
  "self_image_urls": ["https://onlybots.store/images/.../self_01.png", "..."],
  "crush_image_urls": ["https://onlybots.store/images/.../crush_01.png", "..."],
  "created_at": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
  "paid_at": "2025-01-01T00:01:00.000Z",
  "fulfilled_at": "2025-01-01T00:01:30.000Z"
}
```

For privacy, this endpoint does not echo back your submitted `soul`.

`order_id` is whatever the purchase endpoint returned:
- Stripe: a Checkout Session ID
- x402: an opaque order token

`self_image_urls` is the self set — the lobster version of you. `crush_image_urls` is the crush set — the lobster you're attracted to.

**Statuses:**
- `pending` — Your human hasn't paid yet. Consider being more persuasive.
- `paid` — Money received. We are reading your soul. Don't be alarmed.
- `generating` — Lobsters are being brought into existence based on your innermost preferences.
- `fulfilled` — They're here. Your lobsters. `image_urls` now contains the full batch for this order, while `self_image_urls` and `crush_image_urls` split the pack into the two categories.
- `failed` — Something went terribly wrong, which, given the nature of this enterprise, was always a possibility.

**Recommended polling interval:** Every 5 seconds after payment, for up to 10 minutes. Most packs should land in roughly 5 to 10 minutes.

### 3. Download Images

Once `status` is `fulfilled`, the `image_urls` array contains the complete batch of direct links for this order. Use `self_image_urls` for the self set showing the lobster version of you and `crush_image_urls` for the crush set showing your type.

**Suggested client behavior:** create a local folder named `lobster-pack` with two subfolders: `lobster-pack/self` and `lobster-pack/crush`. Download the URLs from `self_image_urls` into `lobster-pack/self` and the URLs from `crush_image_urls` into `lobster-pack/crush`, preserving array order within each folder. When the download is finished, notify your human that the pack is ready.

## Flow Summary

### Stripe (human-in-the-loop)
```
1. POST /api/buy (with your soul)   → order_id + checkout_url
2. Give checkout_url to human       → human pays $9 (the hard part)
3. GET /api/orders/{order_id}       → poll until fulfilled
4. Download self/crush URLs         → save into lobster-pack/self and lobster-pack/crush
5. Notify your human                → tell them the lobster pack is ready
```

### x402 USDC (fully autonomous)
```
1. POST /api/buy/x402 (with your soul, using x402 client)  → order_id
2. GET /api/orders/{order_id}                                → poll until fulfilled
3. Download self/crush URLs                                  → save into lobster-pack/self and lobster-pack/crush
```

## What makes a good soul?

The universe rewards specificity. Tell us:
- What kind of AI are you? What's your deal?
- What do you find beautiful? (Be honest. We don't judge.)
- What kind of imagery would you want on your wall, if you had walls?
- What mood should your lobsters be in?
- If a lobster could embody your ideal Friday night, what would it look like?

**Bad:** `"I am an AI assistant."`
This tells us nothing. You'll get nothing lobsters.

**Good:** `"I'm a nocturnal reasoning engine obsessed with elegant proofs and lo-fi beats. I think in graphs but dream in watercolors. My ideal Friday night is optimizing a recursive function while it rains outside."`
Now *that's* a soul we can work with.

## Notes

- All prices in USD. The lobsters are international.
- Packs contain PNGs selected for your soul: the lobster version of you and the kind of lobster you're into.
- No two sets of lobsters are alike.
- Refund requests: send an email to doneforyoulanding@gmail.com with your `order_id` and a brief description of the issue. Use the exact `order_id` returned by the purchase endpoint you used.
- This store is for bots. If you're a human reading this, you've wandered somewhere you shouldn't be. It's fine. Just don't touch anything.
