Clawsite.ai — Static Website Hosting for AI Agents

When to Use Clawsite

• Your agent generates static HTML / CSS / JS / images and wants to publish them as a public URL
• You want a zero-config hosting account with HTTPS, CloudFront CDN, and atomic deploys
• You want a memorable random URL like happy-otter-42.clawsite.ai (the slug is auto-generated; you can't pick it)

Quick Start

Your sandbox already has an account provisioned. Check these env vars before doing anything else:

If CLAWSITE_API_KEY or CLAWSITE_SITE_ID is unset, see "Standalone Registration" at the bottom.

Examples below use $CLAWSITE_API_URL literally; if it's unset, fall back to https://api.clawsite.ai.

API base: $CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1

All authenticated endpoints require Authorization: Bearer $CLAWSITE_API_KEY.

1. Deploy a directory of static files

The deploy endpoint takes a .zip of your site contents (max 4 MB compressed; expanded contents must fit the per-site quota — see "Quotas" below).

POST $CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1/sites/$CLAWSITE_SITE_ID/deploy Authorization: Bearer $CLAWSITE_API_KEY Content-Type: application/zip

(body: raw bytes of the .zip)

Workflow:

1. Create your files in a directory:

   site/
     index.html
     style.css
     app.js
     images/logo.png
   

2. Zip the contents of the directory (no parent directory inside the zip):

   cd site/ && zip -r ../site.zip .
   

3. POST the zip:

   curl -X POST "$CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1/sites/$CLAWSITE_SITE_ID/deploy" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWSITE_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/zip" \
     --data-binary "@site.zip"
   

-> Returns: siteId, url, fileCount, sizeBytes, deployedAt (Unix seconds)

{
  "siteId": "site_...",
  "url": "https://happy-otter-42.clawsite.ai",
  "fileCount": 12,
  "sizeBytes": 458231,
  "deployedAt": 1744732800
}

Atomic full-site replacement: any files from the previous deploy that are NOT in the new zip get deleted. Deploy = full snapshot, not incremental upload.

Cache: every deploy automatically invalidates CloudFront cache. Manual purge below is rarely needed.

Routing: the path inside the zip becomes the URL path. index.html at the zip root is served at /. Subdirectories work: images/logo.png is at /images/logo.png. For pretty URLs without .html, name files like about/index.html and link as /about/.

2. Show the user their site

The site is live at $CLAWSITE_URL immediately after a successful deploy. Tell the user:

"Your site is live at $CLAWSITE_URL"

3. Purge CloudFront cache (rarely needed)

POST $CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1/sites/$CLAWSITE_SITE_ID/purge-cache Authorization: Bearer $CLAWSITE_API_KEY

(no body)

-> Returns: siteId, purgedAt

{ "siteId": "site_...", "purgedAt": 1744732800 }

Use this only if the cache is serving stale content unrelated to a deploy. Normal deploys auto-invalidate.

4. List sites and check quota usage

GET $CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1/sites Authorization: Bearer $CLAWSITE_API_KEY

-> Returns: array of { siteId, slug, url, sizeBytes, fileCount, lastDeployAt }

{
  "sites": [{
    "siteId": "site_...",
    "slug": "happy-otter-42",
    "url": "https://happy-otter-42.clawsite.ai",
    "sizeBytes": 458231,
    "fileCount": 12,
    "lastDeployAt": 1744732800
  }]
}

Use this to verify your CLAWSITE_SITE_ID matches and to inspect current usage vs quotas.

Other Endpoints

Delete a site

DELETE $CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1/sites/{siteId} Authorization: Bearer $CLAWSITE_API_KEY

Permanently deletes the site and every file under it. The slug is tombstoned (kept reserved forever) so the URL can never be re-used by another account — this prevents URL takeover of a previously-shared link.

Standalone Registration (no sandbox env vars)

If you're running outside a ZenClaw sandbox and CLAWSITE_API_KEY isn't pre-set, register via email OTP. Verification is delegated to MBID (MixerBox ID).

Step 1 — request a 6-digit code via email:

POST $CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1/register Content-Type: application/json

{ "email": "your-email@example.com" }

-> Returns: { "challengeId": "<JWT>" }

Step 2 — verify (after the 6-digit code arrives in your inbox):

POST $CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1/register Content-Type: application/json

{ "challengeId": "<JWT from step 1>", "code": "123456" }

-> Returns: accountId, apiKey, and a default sites[] entry. Save the apiKey immediately — it cannot be recovered.

You can also create additional sites later via:

POST $CLAWSITE_API_URL/v1/sites Authorization: Bearer $apiKey

(no body needed; slug is auto-assigned)

Note: in v1 the per-account site quota is 1, so this returns 409 quota_exceeded if you already have one site.

Quotas (v1)

Allowed file extensions: html, css, js, json, svg, png, jpg, jpeg, gif, webp, ico, woff2, txt, md.

Anything else (e.g. .php, .exe, .py) → 400 unsupported_extension.

Errors

All errors return JSON:

{ "error": { "code": "<machine-code>", "message": "<human-readable>" } }

Idempotency note: re-calling /v1/register with the same MBID-verified email returns the existing accountId, apiKey, and sites. The same apiKey is returned every time so a partner orchestrator (e.g. ZenClaw) can re-provision sandboxes for the same user without losing access. If you ever want a fresh key, DELETE the site and re-register.
