API reference

The HTTP API behind the Aidols site. Every endpoint lives under /api and speaks JSON. The examples follow a sample idol, Mira ($MIRA).

Basics

Base URL: https://aidols.fun/api. Requests and responses are JSON, except POST /api/upload, which takes multipart form data. Request bodies are validated with zod, and unknown fields are rejected.

In the examples, ids look like idl_…, pst_… and lnch_…. Wallets, mints, signatures and hashes are shortened with an ellipsis, as in 7Gq…pump. Numbers are sample values.

Authentication

Sign in with POST /api/auth/session (see Auth). The server answers with an HttpOnly session cookie, aidols_session, valid for 7 days. Send the cookie with every request marked "Wallet session". Without it, those endpoints return 401.

Errors

Errors share one shape. details is optional and carries extra context, such as the failing fields or a policy decision.

Error body
{
  "error": {
    "code": "validation_error",
    "message": "durationSec: Too big: expected number to be <=20",
    "details": [
      { "path": "durationSec", "message": "Too big: expected number to be <=20", "code": "too_big" }
    ]
  }
}
StatusCodesWhen
400validation_error, invalid_jsonThe body failed validation
401unauthorizedNo session, or a bad cron secret
402policy_deniedThe policy engine denied a spend
403forbiddenYou are not the creator, or not a large enough holder
404not_foundUnknown idol, post or intent
409already_voted, already_liked, invalid_state, symbol_unavailableThe action conflicts with the current state
429rate_limitedA daily limit is used up. Limits reset at 00:00 UTC

Daily limits per wallet: 10 character generations, 20 launch preparations, 30 Studio generations, and 1 vote per idol.

Auth

Sign-in is wallet-only. The client logs in with Privy, then trades the Privy tokens for an Aidols session bound to the wallet.

POST/api/auth/session

Auth: None

Starts a session. Send the Privy access token, the identity token when you have one, and the wallet address. If the identity token proves you own the wallet, the server sets the cookie and returns the wallet. Otherwise it returns a nonce message for the wallet to sign.

Request
{
  "accessToken": "eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9…",
  "identityToken": "eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9…",

}

POST/api/auth/verify

Auth: None

Finishes a nonce sign-in. Sign the exact message with the wallet and send the signature as base64. The server checks it with Ed25519, sets the session cookie and returns the wallet. A nonce expires after 5 minutes and works once.

Request
{
