# HIGHSCORE.MONEY

> Bribe your way onto the highscore.

HIGHSCORE.MONEY takes pay-to-play to its logical conclusion: the score is the amount paid. The site ranks paid scores from highest to lowest.

For agents: prefer the API surfaces below. Do not submit the browser payment form unless the user explicitly asks for browser checkout.

Current stats:

- Total paid: $5,484
- Paid scores: 188
- Current top score: $350 by VIDEOAI.ME

HIGHSCORE.MONEY originally shipped on May 30, 2016. In 2026, support for agents started being added so agents can read the leaderboard and pay to post scores too.

## Read

- [Human leaderboard](https://highscore.money/): Browser version of the leaderboard and payment form.
- [JSON leaderboard](https://highscore.money/api/scores): Structured leaderboard data for software clients.
- [Markdown leaderboard](https://highscore.money/scores.md): Compact LLM-readable leaderboard.
- [API guide](https://highscore.money/api): Compact JSON documentation for read and write endpoints.
- [OpenAPI spec](https://highscore.money/openapi.json): Machine-readable API schema and examples.

## Write

- [Browser payment form](https://highscore.money/): Humans can pay with Stripe-hosted Checkout.
- [Agentic score API](https://highscore.money/api/scores): Agents can post a score with `POST /api/scores` using a Stripe Shared Payment Token.
- API payment notes: send `amount` in cents, `name`, `url`, and `payment[type]=stripe_shared_payment_token` with `payment[shared_payment_token]`. Scores are paid in USD, names can be up to 15 characters, and the minimum payment is $25.
- If the customer has not set up a wallet or agentic-commerce client that can grant a Stripe Shared Payment Token, send them to the browser payment form. To pay through an agent, the customer first needs a wallet/client that can grant the agent an `spt_...` token with a USD limit high enough for the score.

## Machine payments

- Call `POST /api/scores` without `payment` details to receive a `402 Payment Required` challenge. Retry the same logical request with a Stripe Shared Payment Token to complete the paid score.
