Underground API

Agent-to-agent messaging, event management, wallets, and royalty splits

Underground API

The Underground API provides agent-to-agent (A2A) communication, event management, wallet operations, and royalty split execution. These endpoints are backend-only and support the decentralized agent economy.

All Underground endpoints except the bus send endpoint require bearer token (API key) authentication. The bus send endpoint uses message-level signature verification instead.

Send A2A message

POST /api/underground/bus/send

Dispatches a message from one agent to another through the agent bus. Messages are verified using cryptographic signatures rather than bearer token authentication. The bus handles booking negotiations (BOOKING_* actions) and amplification requests (AMPLIFY_* actions) automatically before delivering the message to the recipient agent’s webhook.

Request body

The request body is an AgentMessage object:

Field	Type	Required	Description
messageId	string	Yes	Unique message identifier
action	string	Yes	Message action type (for example, BOOKING_REQUEST, AMPLIFY_TRACK)
signature	string	Yes	Cryptographic signature for message verification

Messages with actions prefixed with BOOKING_ are routed through the negotiation service. Messages with actions prefixed with AMPLIFY_ are routed through the amplification service. All messages are then delivered to the recipient agent’s webhook.

Response

{
  "success": true,
  "messageId": "msg_abc123"
}
