Library Public Domain Check

by public-domain-check in Other

x402 APIPassing, checked 5 h ago

Is a work in the public domain? Applies the standard rules for the US (published before the current year minus 95, plus the 1929-1963 renewal note), Canada (life + 70 since 2022-12-30, life + 50 for authors who died before 1972), the UK and EU (life + 70) and Australia, from the publication year and author death year you give, then checks whether the work is already in the free catalogue. Returns a verdict per jurisdiction with reasoning; not legal advice. $0.01 per check.

Call it from code

The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.01.

curl: see the payment challenge
# bash or zsh: see the payment challenge. Nothing is charged.
curl -sS -g -i 'https://intel.rallylive.ca/library/public-domain-check?query=The+Great+Gatsby+%7C+F.+Scott+Fitzgerald+%7C+1925'

# x402 v2 sends the challenge base64-encoded in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header (v1 sends it in the body).
# To read the header:
curl -sS -g -o /dev/null -D - 'https://intel.rallylive.ca/library/public-domain-check?query=The+Great+Gatsby+%7C+F.+Scott+Fitzgerald+%7C+1925' \
  | grep -i '^payment-required:' | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r' | base64 --decode
