Per-client snippets: clients/.

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 polling
mcp:intelligence — free corpus reads
mcp: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
Scale	$100	10,000	~1,000 decodes
Enterprise	$250	25,000	~2,500 decodes

Buy at heista.co/api-console/billing.

Spending caps: set hourly / daily / monthly caps per organization and per key from heista.co/api-console/limits. The server enforces the cap before any compute runs.

Account

A Heista account is required for paid tools. The free intelligence reads work after OAuth sign-in.
