What This Skill Does#

This skill gives your AI agent access to a monthly gig economy dataset. The agent can:

• Ask natural language questions about market opportunities, trends, and demand
• Discover growth opportunities across 274 freelance categories
• Analyze top orders and revenue patterns
• Extract pain points that customers repeatedly mention
• Track individual gigs over time to spot trends
• Save and rerun analyses monthly with the Focus system

Authentication#

All requests require a bearer token:

text

Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY

API Base URL#

text

https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent

Workflow#

1. Bootstrap#

Always start here. Confirms your key works and returns the endpoint map.

bash

curl -s \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/bootstrap"

2. Ask (primary entrypoint)#

Turn natural language into structured market analysis:

bash

curl -s \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/ask" \
  -d '{
    "question": "What are the fastest-growing freelance categories this month?",
    "saveFocus": true
  }'

The response includes:

• run.answer.summary — natural language answer
• run.answer.supportingOrders — evidence data
• run.answer.topPainPoints — demand signals
• run.answer.recommendedFollowups — suggested next questions

Example questions:

• "Help me find the fastest-growing opportunity in March"
• "What are the strongest orders behind that opportunity?"
• "Which pain points repeat most often in business plans?"

3. Drill down with query endpoints#

After ask identifies a promising angle, use structured queries:

Available months:

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/months"

Monthly stats:

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/stats?month=2026-03"

Category rollups (sorted by revenue):

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/category-rollups?month=2026-03&sort=avg_revenue&limit=20"

Search snapshots:

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/snapshots?month=2026-03&category_slug=business-plans&limit=20"

Single snapshot detail:

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/snapshot?snapshot_id=<SNAPSHOT_ID>"

Track a gig over time:

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/gig-history?gig_id=<GIG_ID>&limit=12"

Aggregate pain points:

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/query/pain-points?month=2026-03&q=plan&limit=20"

4. Focus system (save and rerun)#

Save useful analyses as durable Focuses that can be rerun against new monthly data:

List workspaces:

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/workspaces"

List focuses in a workspace:

bash

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/workspaces/<WORKSPACE_ID>/focuses"

Rerun a focus:

bash

curl -s -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/focuses/<FOCUS_ID>/run" \
  -d '{}'

5. SSE streaming (optional)#

For incremental row consumption:

bash

curl -N -H "Authorization: Bearer $WPP_API_KEY" \
  "https://whatpeoplepayfor.com/api/agent/sse/category-rollups?month=2026-03"

Query Strategy#

• Prefer ask first for natural-language exploration, then drill down with query endpoints
• Use bootstrap once per session to confirm access and discover available data
• Use stats and category-rollups before scanning raw snapshots
• Use pain-points when looking for demand themes and repeated customer signals
• Use snapshot and gig-history only after narrowing candidates
• Use focuses when the agent needs continuity across sessions
