## Launch

- [Submit a product](https://tailkits.com/submit/): list a product, reviewed by an editor
- [Submit API for agents](https://tailkits.com/submit/api/): submit a product with one HTTP call and get a Stripe Checkout link back for the person who pays
- [Weekly digest](https://tailkits.com/digest/): the products launched each week

## Submit a product (for agents)

Agents can submit a product on a user's behalf. Nothing is charged by the call: it returns a Stripe Checkout link, and the user pays the one-time $29 listing there. An editor reviews the product within two business days of payment; the maker gets an email at each step and a full refund if it is not accepted.

1. `GET https://tailkits.com/api/submit`: the request format, the 17 allowed categories, tags, the price and an example.
2. `POST https://tailkits.com/api/checkout` with `{"product": {"name", "url", "tagline", "categories": [1-2 slugs], "email", "description"?, "tags"?, "pricing"?, "logoUrl"?}}`.
3. The answer has `checkoutUrl` (give it to the user; valid 30 minutes), `amountCents`, `expiresAt` and `statusUrl` (pending, paid, published).
4. Errors are `422` with `fields`, naming the allowed values; fix and retry. Limits: 5 per email and 20 per IP per hour.

```
curl -X POST https://tailkits.com/api/checkout -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"product":{"name":"Acme UI","url":"https://acme.dev","tagline":"Tailwind CSS components for SaaS dashboards","categories":["components"],"email":"maker@acme.dev"}}'
```

- With MCP: the `launch_submit` tool on https://tailkits.com/mcp does the same and returns the link.
- Sponsorships are booked by request: `POST https://tailkits.com/api/sponsor-inquiry` with `scope`, `term`, `name`, `url`, `email` (see `GET /api/submit`).
- [OpenAPI](https://tailkits.com/openapi.json): the submit, status and sponsor request endpoints
