Ping
Basic no-charge liveness check.

Controlled Test Website
riskapi test surface
This site tests one boundary: free API calls should work without Stripe, while paid API calls should only work after a sandbox purchase has provisioned an API key.
The website is static. The live backend is controlled separately, and some routes stay IP-restricted during testing.
Free checks
These are the baseline checks. If they work from an approved operator IP and fail from elsewhere, the access boundary is behaving as intended.
Current UTC Time
Return current UTC time and a Unix epoch value.
GET https://alpha-swan.duckdns.org/v1/free/time/utc
Paid checks
These exist only to validate key provisioning. They stay simple so billing behavior remains the thing under test.
Text Cleanup
Normalize whitespace and trim edges in a string.
POST https://alpha-swan.duckdns.org/v1/tools/text/cleanup
Time Shift
Move a timestamp by a chosen number of minutes.
POST https://alpha-swan.duckdns.org/v1/tools/time/shift
Quickstart
Start with the free routes. Use the paid routes only when you want to verify the Stripe sandbox purchase and key-provisioning path.

Test paid flow
Use this only for Stripe sandbox testing. It creates a Checkout Session for the test product and returns you here with a provisioned API key if payment succeeds.
This page uses Stripe sandbox only. No real payment should occur here.
