Changelog

What changed.

Recent changes to the live service, newest first.

11 November 2026

  • From this date, signed Capture Records are made under method version 2: after a record is signed, outside time-stamp authorities sign its SHA-256 with their own time, usually within 15 minutes. The record check at /verify and the open-source script check those timestamps too. Only the hash is sent to the authorities.
  • A key can now carry one optional email address. Once you confirm it, we email you when the key's credits run low, when they run out, and when a purchase adds credits. Nothing else is sent, and every message has a one-click unsubscribe link.
  • Captures now run in a shared browser pool, and each key has a daily share of it. A capture refused at a limit answers 429 or 503 and costs nothing. Other tools are not affected.
  • Added a free record check at /verify. Paste a signed Capture Record to see what was checked: PageVerified's signature and the content hash. The same answer is available as JSON, and an open-source script runs the checks offline.

10 November 2026

  • Added plans that renew every month. Each paid month adds that month's credits to the same key, and unused credits roll over. Prices, terms and the cancel link are on /pricing.
  • Agents can buy a small starter pack with no card checkout. Its price and credits are on /pricing.
  • Added three free checks that need no key: agent readiness, the x402 offer behind a 402 endpoint, and a remote MCP server test. Each has a result link and a badge.
  • When a key runs out of credits, the answer now lists the packs and where to buy them.
  • Added five guides: a screenshot API with a hash and timestamp, capturing a page as evidence, verifying a capture, the screenshot MCP server, and buying with x402.
  • The home page example is now a real capture with a public receipt.
  • Paid directory placements are labelled on every card, and /.well-known/security.txt is published.
  • Added a pricing page, a documentation hub, a status page, and pages for security, methodology, disclosure and this changelog.
  • Each credit pack can also be bought by agents at a plain path, /api/v1/credits/buy/<price>, for payment directories that do not accept query strings.
  • The x402 and MPP inspector tools now read a site's own /openapi.json before sending a request.
  • Search results on the sign-in connector route are no longer reordered by paid placement.
  • The directory now also shows indexed listings copied from public catalogs. They are labelled as not verified.
  • Machine-readable files now say that agents can buy credits without a person.

9 November 2026

  • Agents can pay in USDC on Base (x402) as well as through the Stripe Machine Payments Protocol.
  • Added 13 tools, including agent readiness, payment-offer inspectors, an MCP server inspector and a seller check.
  • Added OAuth sign-in for MCP connector clients at /mcp/connect.
  • Directory submissions that pass the automatic checks are now held for a review before they are listed.
  • Added a 30-day featured placement next to the 7-day one.
  • Added security response headers, tightened free-key and demo limits, and updated dependencies.
  • Restarted the blog with sourced posts for agent builders.

8 November 2026

  • Agents can buy credits with no person involved: POST /api/v1/credits/buy answers HTTP 402 with a payment offer and returns an API key once paid.
  • Payment discovery is published at /openapi.json.
  • A featured placement now starts automatically when its payment confirms.

7 November 2026

  • Agent purchases are recorded in a credit ledger that issues each paid key exactly once.

6 November 2026

  • The service now runs at pageverified.com under the PageVerified name.
