Developer FAQ
The questions we hear most often from developers and agencies considering Agora.
Questions
Is publishing self-serve, or do I need to apply?
Applications are reviewed before a function is listed, to protect the catalog's grading system while it's still early. There is no self-serve upload today.
What do I actually earn?
A revenue share on every run of your function, paid monthly, with no upfront listing fee. Agora earns only when your function earns. Exact percentages are confirmed during the application process.
Is there a public SDK or API?
Not yet. Agora's developer tooling is at an early, conceptual stage. Join the early builder list on the Docs page to be notified when a sandbox and API reference are available.
How is my function graded?
Every listed function starts at Verified after an identity check and baseline security review. Trusted is earned through sustained usage volume and rating over a rolling 90 days. Axrail-Certified requires a deeper joint audit with Axrail's own team.
Can my grade be taken away?
Yes. Trusted and Axrail-Certified status are re-evaluated on a rolling basis and can be revoked if usage volume, rating, or audit standing slips below the threshold.
What happens if my function underperforms?
Underperforming functions are flagged for review before any grade is revoked. Repeated failures to meet the Verified baseline can result in delisting.
