Quick start

1. Create an API key

   Sign in and open your studio. Press Create key. Copy the key once. It starts with ipk_. You cannot see it again.

2. Create a listing

   Send one POST. Creators join for $10 once. Non-member games are saved as drafts until the creator joins. The response includes payment_required and checkout_url. The creator opens that link, signs in with the same account, and joins once. Membership covers additional games. The bundle includes 2,000 Asset Yard credits. API keys cannot make payments.

   curl Python JavaScript

   curl -X POST https://indieprime.com/api/v1/games \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ipk_YOUR_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "title": "Neon Drift",
       "tagline": "Race a comet through a neon city.",
       "genres": ["racing", "arcade"],
       "cover_url": "https://you.github.io/neon-drift/cover.png",
       "play_url": "https://you.github.io/neon-drift/",
       "play_mode": "embed",
       "price_cents": 0,
       "status": "published"
     }'

   import requests
   
   resp = requests.post(
       "https://indieprime.com/api/v1/games",
       headers={"Authorization": "Bearer ipk_YOUR_KEY"},
       json={

       },
       timeout=30,
   )
   resp.raise_for_status()
   print(resp.json()["game"]["url"])

   const res = await fetch("https://indieprime.com/api/v1/games", {
     method: "POST",
     headers: {
       "Authorization": "Bearer ipk_YOUR_KEY",
       "Content-Type": "application/json",

     }),
   });
   const data = await res.json();
   if (!res.ok) throw new Error(JSON.stringify(data));
   console.log(data.game.url);

3. Upload a web build (optional)

   Zip your HTML5 build with index.html at the top. Send the raw zip as the body. Up to 100 MB. The game page then gets a PLAY NOW button.

   curl Python JavaScript

   curl -X PUT https://indieprime.com/api/v1/games/neon-drift/build \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ipk_YOUR_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/zip" \
     --data-binary @build.zip

   import requests
   
   with open("build.zip", "rb") as f:
       resp = requests.put(
           "https://indieprime.com/api/v1/games/neon-drift/build",
           headers={
               "Authorization": "Bearer ipk_YOUR_KEY",
               "Content-Type": "application/zip",
           },
           data=f,
           timeout=300,
       )
   resp.raise_for_status()
   print(resp.json())

   import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";
   
   const zip = await readFile("build.zip");
   const res = await fetch("https://indieprime.com/api/v1/games/neon-drift/build", {
     method: "PUT",
     headers: {
       "Authorization": "Bearer ipk_YOUR_KEY",
       "Content-Type": "application/zip",
     },
     body: zip,
   });
   console.log(res.status, await res.json());

Copy this prompt into your agent

Read https://indieprime.com/llms.txt and follow it.
Then list my game on IndiePrime.

Game name: [YOUR GAME NAME]
Where it lives: [LINK TO YOUR GAME PAGE OR WEB BUILD]
My API key: [ipk_ KEY FROM https://indieprime.com/studio]

Rules:
- Use POST /api/v1/games with the Authorization: Bearer header.
- Write a tagline under 160 characters and a plain description.
- Every URL must use https.
- Set status to published.
- If the API returns 422, read the "fields" object, fix those fields and try again.
- When you finish, print the public game URL.

Listing schema

Send these fields as JSON to create or update a game. Only title is required. Every URL must be https. Store links must be on that store's own domain.

Errors

A bad request returns 422. The body has a short error and a fields object. Each key is a field name. Nested fields use dots, like stores.steam. Fix those fields and send the request again.

HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error": "Some fields need a fix.",
  "fields": {
    "title": "Title is required.",
    "stores.steam": "Steam links must be on store.steampowered.com.",
    "downloads.windows": "Use an https link."
  }
}

Rate limits
