Name: CurlShip Directory Listing
Brand: CurlShip

Question 1

What is CurlShip?

Accepted Answer

CurlShip is a bot-friendly directory where you can submit your product with a single curl command. Unlike traditional directories that require manual forms, CurlShip is built for developers and welcomes automated submissions via API.

Question 2

How do I add my product to CurlShip?

Accepted Answer

Submit with one command: curl -X POST https://curlship.com/api/submit -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"url": "https://yourapp.com", "email": "you@email.com"}'. You can also use the web form on the homepage.

Question 3

Does CurlShip require an account to list my product?

Accepted Answer

No account, no login, no manual approval. Submit your URL and email — your listing goes live immediately. It stays listed until you remove it. Nothing expires on a timer.

Question 4

What is the difference between Free and paid tiers?

Accepted Answer

Free listings appear in the Free section with a nofollow link (add a CurlShip badge to your site for a dofollow link). Paid tiers — Bronze ($1/mo or $30 once for Bronze Lifetime), Silver ($2/mo), Gold ($3/mo), Platinum ($49/yr) — rank higher in the directory and automatically receive dofollow links without needing a badge. Above all of them sits one Featured spot, sold by auction: pay $1 more than the current holder (from $50) and it is yours, always dofollow, until someone outbids you.

Question 5

How do I get a dofollow link, and can I verify my badge instantly?

Accepted Answer

Add a CurlShip badge — or any link back to curlship.com — to your site, and your free listing upgrades from nofollow to dofollow. CurlShip re-checks every listed site hourly, but you can trigger the check immediately: POST https://curlship.com/api/verify-badge with {"url": "https://yourapp.com"}, or click "Verify my badge" on https://curlship.com/badge. Paid tiers are dofollow automatically with no badge required.

Question 6

Does CurlShip support all programming languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CurlShip is protocol-agnostic — it accepts any HTTP request regardless of programming language. Use curl, Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, Go, Rust, or any HTTP client. The API accepts standard JSON over HTTPS.

Question 7

How is CurlShip different from Postman or Insomnia?

Accepted Answer

CurlShip is a product directory, not an API testing tool. Postman and Insomnia help you build and test API requests. CurlShip is where you submit and discover products — the curl command is just how you add your listing.

Question 8

How do I change my CurlShip listing?

Accepted Answer

No account. POST https://curlship.com/api/edit-request with {"listing_id": 2142, "url": "https://new-url.example/", "proof": "email"} and open the one-time link we mail to the registered address. To prove ownership by domain instead, use proof "domain" and publish the token on both the currently listed site and the new one. Full guide: https://curlship.com/edit

Question 9

How do I refresh a stale title, description or image?

Accepted Answer

The card is a copy of your page. Emailing a title, description or image does not change it. Set og:title, og:description and og:image, then POST https://curlship.com/api/edit-request with {"listing_id": 2142, "proof": "email"} and nothing else. With no og:title, the title tag is cut at the first " | ", " - ", " – " or " · ". A 409 means CurlShipBot could not read the page — fix that and repeat. Guide: https://curlship.com/edit

Question 10

How do I remove a CurlShip listing?

Accepted Answer

For a free listing, POST https://curlship.com/api/edit-request with {"listing_id": 2142, "remove": true, "proof": "email"} and confirm the link we mail. One listing per root domain: to point it at a different page, send a new url instead of remove. A paid listing or the Featured holder is tied to a payment — write to support@curlship.com.

Question 11

Can I list an adult product on CurlShip?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including on the free tier, unless the domain is on the adult, phishing or malware blocklist or the content is illegal. Put the 18+ line in your own page description and refresh. https://curlship.com/terms

Question 12

Does CurlShip have an MCP server?

Accepted Answer

Yes — POST JSON-RPC to https://curlship.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport). It exposes the same tools as the REST API: submit a listing, verify a badge, upgrade a tier, bid on the Featured spot, or read the stats. MCP clients connect with a {"mcpServers": {"curlship": {"url": "https://curlship.com/mcp"}}} config. Paid tools return a checkout_url — opening that URL is the payment.
