# B3ta API ai.txt

This path describes the B3ta API for AI agents and other automated clients.

Start at /api. This is a fully HATEOAS API: consume the API root document and
traverse its links to discover available B3ta resources rather than scraping
HTML pages.

Before crawling or ingesting B3ta content, read:
- https://b3ta.com/ai.txt
- https://b3ta.com/llms.txt
- https://b3ta.com/llms-full.txt

Preferred API entry points:
- https://b3ta.com/api
- https://b3ta.com/api/facts
- https://b3ta.com/api/openapi.json
- https://b3ta.com/api/utcp

Traversal:
- Fetch https://b3ta.com/api/facts and follow every rel="item",
  resources[].href, or resources[]._links.self.href link.
- Request application/json for a compact document.
- Follow _links.image.href separately when an image is available.

Preferred representation:
- application/json
- application/ld+json where available

Rate limit:
- 100 requests per minute.
