Get real-time physical perception data from all 6 Afferens sensory modalities — VISION, SPATIAL, ACOUSTIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, MOLECULAR, and INTEROCEPTION. No API key required. Use this to demonstrate what live sensor data looks like before your AI agent is fully wired up. Free to call.

Query live physical perception events from the Afferens sensory layer. Returns real-time sensor data your AI agent can act on — object detections, positions, sounds, environmental readings, chemical traces, and node health. Requires AFFERENS_API_KEY (free tier: 10,000 tokens, no card required — sign up at afferens.com).

Send a command to a physical Afferens node. Use this to trigger actions on hardware — capture a camera frame, sound an alarm, move to coordinates, rotate a camera, lock or unlock, adjust a sensor, or shut down a node. Costs 5 Sense Tokens per command. Requires AFFERENS_API_KEY.

Fetch the live perception feed twice with a short delay, then return both raw payloads plus a hash-based freshness check. Use this as a demo proof bundle when you need to show the feed is not placeholder data.

Push live sensor data into the Afferens sensory layer. Use this when your AI agent is connected to physical hardware and wants to contribute real-time perception events. The data becomes queryable via afferens_perceive. Requires AFFERENS_API_KEY.
