While browsing and reading articles here in DEV, I found this interesting hackathon on my feed and started to read some resources and amazing ideas/projects of other developers around the globe for this API so called web monetization. The docs is straight forward but sadly I'm having a hard time for searching a website that actually use a web monetization. So..... heres what I did!

What I built

💸 I built a very... very... very... simple npm package to let you easily check if a certain website is web monetized

https://webmonetization.org/

Submission Category:

Foundational Technology

Demo

You can easily try the tool by installing it globally and running it on your terminal

Installation

  npm install is-web-monetized

Usage (via CLI)

  monetized https://testwebmonetization.com/demo.html

💡 I want to show it in table format. what do you think?

Usage (as dependency)

  const { isWebMonetized } from 'is-web-monetized'
  const url = 'example.com'

  isWebMonetized(url).then(obj => {
    /*
      {
        monetized <boolean>,
        url <url>,
        content <wallet>,
      }
    */
    console.log(obj)
  }).catch(err => console.log(err))

Link to Code

  npm install is-web-monetized

  npm install is-web-monetized -g

  monetized example.com 

  const { isWebMonetized } from 'is-web-monetized'
  const url = 'example.com'
  isWebMonetized(url).then(obj => {
    /*
      {
        monetized <boolean>,
        url <url>,
        content <wallet>,
      }
    */
    console.log(obj)
  }).catch(err => console.

How I built it

If you recall, I said SIMPLE and it is!. This tool is basically just reads the monetization meta in a website

dependencies

• jsdom - for me to easily read the metas
• isomorphic-fetch
