A proposed JSON format lets publishers expose content access terms, pricing, and payment details at a standard well-known URL.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-27 issue.

For: Publishers making content terms legible to automated agents
Worth noticing: The required fields are version, publisher, pricing, and auth; endpoints, terms of use, quality signals, and attestation are optional.

Field notes

The format separates required identity, pricing, and authentication fields from optional endpoints, terms, quality signals, and attestation. The page places it between protocol layers such as MCP, REST, and OpenAPI and marketplaces. It also describes a WordPress service for writing the file and handling premium posts, but the supplied page does not verify adoption or those service capabilities.
