# Public API Access

#### Public API Access

Many AI Agents need to communicate with external apps or devices. Dormint provides an **API layer** for each agent:

1. **Agent Endpoint**
   * Each AI Agent has a unique URL path (e.g., `api.dormint.io/agents/<agent_id>`).
   * External applications can POST or GET data here, triggering the agent’s internal logic.
2. **DOAI Token-Based Usage**
   * Each API call requires DOAI tokens to be deducted from the caller’s balance, ensuring sustainable operations.
   * **Rate Limiting**: Dormint automatically throttles or rejects requests exceeding an account’s token balance or plan limit.
3. **Webhook Support**
   * Agents can send real-time updates or alerts back to external systems using configurable webhooks.
