Resets at midnight.", "currentUsage": { "paidAgents": 3, "paidPrompts": 0, "freeContent": 0, "date": "2024-01-01" }, "limits": { "paidAgents": 3, "paidPrompts": 500, "freeContent": 500 }, "resetTime": "2024-01-02T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` *** ## Error Responses The API uses standard HTTP status codes to signal errors: * `200`: Success * `400`: Bad Request (validation errors) * `401`: Unauthorized * `403`: Forbidden (paid content without access) * `404`: Not Found * `429`: Too Many Requests * `500`: Internal Server Error ### Example Error Response All endpoints return consistent error responses: ```json theme={null} { "error": "Error message", "message": "Detailed error description", "code": "ERROR_CODE" } ``` Validation errors may include `details`, `errors`, and `status_code`. Duplicate agent responses include `existingId`. Rate limit (429) responses include `currentUsage`, `limits`, and `resetTime`. Authentication (401) responses may include `how_to_get_key`. *** ## Content Validation Every agent undergoes automated checks, including: * **Duplicate Detection**: Same name and same `agent` content for the same user returns 400 with `existingId` * **Quality Assessment**: Checks code completeness and standards * **Security Scanning**: Ensures code is safe * **Trustworthiness Scoring**: Rates each agent on quality and trust (content validation responses may include `trustworthiness`, `contentQuality`) Agents failing validation get a `400 Bad Request` with detailed reasons. *** **In summary: you can create, edit, or search for agents in the Swarms marketplace in just 3 easy steps!** This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
