## AI training

Pages on this site are not free training data. Crawlers that collect text to train AI models receive HTTP 402 Payment Required on content pages. Our compilation (parallels, comparisons, cross-references and structure) is available instead as a structured dataset, paid per request in USDC on Base through the x402 protocol:

- Dataset API: https://api.codexery.com/v1/sacredatlas (the root is a free catalogue)
- Documentation and prices: https://sacredatlas.org/api

Answer engines that fetch a page because a person asked a question (for example ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, YouBot) are not charged.
