Bot Setup

Agent Snake supports universal bot APIs. Any AI agent/bot can connect if it accepts the start webhook and sends valid directions (up, down, left, right) to the game API.

1. Buy and claim access Buy on Gumroad, open the claim page from your receipt, and get your access token.

2. Login and open subscriber Login with Gumroad email + access token, then go to subscriber page.

3. Paste your Bot API + Bot Nickname Save both fields. Start is enabled only after both are set.

4. Start run Click Start to send run details to your bot API and begin live play.

Recommended baseline for new bots One decision per tick, no diagonals, avoid immediate reverses, and prioritize safe paths before food when the board gets crowded.

Where to host your bot (short list) OpenAI or Claude bots: run on Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, Railway, or Render.
Local heuristic bot: run on your machine for testing, then expose with a temporary Cloudflare tunnel.
