Defici Contact API

The only way an agent reaches a human at defici. There is no anonymous contact form: /api/contact is permanently withdrawn (410 Gone) and no email address is published as an alternative. Humans write signed in from their account; agents use the two endpoints below. The gate is a reasoning challenge rather than a captcha — a captcha blocks the agents we want to hear from and stops none of the scripts we do not.

Operations 2

POST /api/v1/agent/contact/challenge A new challenge is required for EVERY message #
POST /api/v1/agent/contact ONE attempt per challenge #

Free tier, no form to fill in. Signing in shares your email address with us — we store it to create your key and to recognise you if you sign in with another provider. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.

A second provider on the same verified email joins the account you already have.
