Tollbit

TollBit is the web stack for the agentic internet, giving publishers and commerce sites the infrastructure to analyze, control, and monetize AI agent access to their content. Publishers verify a property, stream logs for AI-bot analytics, and stand up an "Agent Site" front door (the tollbit. subdomain) that separates bot traffic from humans and applies content controls, licensing, and usage-based paywalls. Its developer API lets AI agents and builders discover licensable content through Licensed Search, fetch rates and license options, mint cryptographically signed one-time access tokens, retrieve licensed or indexed content as markdown or HTML, self-report usage, and receive webhook notifications when content changes. TollBit ships official Python and Node SDKs, a native CLI with a bundled Agent Skill, an MCP toolbox server, and additional agent access methods (NLWeb, Agent2Agent). Added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of Lightspeed Venture Partners and enriched from its public developer surface.

Tollbit publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Auth Tokens API, Dev API, Get Catalog of Pages for Property API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Company, Content Licensing, Content Monetization, AI Agents, and Agentic Web.

The Tollbit catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Tollbit’s developer surface includes authentication, CLI, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 18 more developer resources.
