# Authentication on emin.de

> Public reads need no credentials. There are no accounts, API keys or OAuth flows.

- Pages, Markdown mirrors, feeds, [llms.txt](https://emin.de/llms.txt), the [JSON API](https://emin.de/api/articles) and the [MCP server](https://emin.de/mcp): anonymous, rate limited to 120 requests per 60 seconds per client on API paths.
- [Bulk corpus](https://emin.de/api/v1/corpus): answers with an x402 payment challenge (HTTP 402). Payment verification is not wired yet, so the corpus is not released for any payment header.
