At the moment no queries unless you sign with a nostr key with credits.
At the beginning it was totally open and in 2 weeks since the launch I got people abusing it, so I had to gate it somehow.
Yes it could be zap based but I would still have to check if your key has zapped vertex, so still sign in.
I could accept ecash in the request, but then your user would have to have a wallet, which imo is more selective than a sign in
What about an NWC subscription?
but what's the difference between signing in and connecting your wallet with NWC?
I argue that the first is even easier, and it's free.
To clarify, I mean an NWC subscription to use the API from the app itself, not a per-user fee, and it doesn’t require sign-in. I could choose to add a session fee on the app side, or keep it free to the user, depending on the cost.
Yes, this is a good idea.
You would have to use an API key in the client, which is the same as loading credits on a nostr key and using it in the client. It's basically the same
