SellTraces documentation

SellTraces helps contributors collect local AI-agent traces, review what is eligible to sell, and get paid when approved traces match buyer demand. It is the trace-sales engine of the platform; the ads engine is Rebates, and both pay into the same account wallet.

Quickstart

Install the CLI, authenticate your machine, preview local traces, and start syncing.

CLI commands

Every supported traces command, flag, local file, and repeat-sync behavior.

Public API

Auth, ingest, trace actions, telemetry, and generated endpoint reference.

Trace lifecycle

The end-to-end data path from local discovery to sale and payout state.

​
Install

Run the CLI once to start guided setup: 
npx @selltraces/cli
The guided flow links your machine, discovers supported local sources, asks what you approve, previews what would upload, and requires confirmation before historical traces are queued.

​
What SellTraces reads

Supported source adapters currently cover Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, ChatGPT exports, Claude exports, and the local trace index. The CLI discovers source locations first and applies your saved source policy before upload.

​
What the API does

The public API accepts authenticated JSON trace uploads, queues background processing, lets the CLI verify saved sessions and telemetry, and lets user-owned clients update trace sale eligibility or download scrubbed trace JSON. The generated endpoint reference is backed by openapi.json.
The local CLI preview and dashboard estimates are preliminary. No payout is earned until a trace is included in a closed sale and payout processing completes.
