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": {
"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" }
]
}
}| Status | Codes | When |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | validation_error, invalid_json | The body failed validation |
| 401 | unauthorized | No session, or a bad cron secret |
| 402 | policy_denied | The policy engine denied a spend |
| 403 | forbidden | You are not the creator, or not a large enough holder |
| 404 | not_found | Unknown idol, post or intent |
| 409 | already_voted, already_liked, invalid_state, symbol_unavailable | The action conflicts with the current state |
| 429 | rate_limited | A 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.

}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.
