What do you need to do?

Start with the job in front of you. Every guide is clear about what AddonPass handles and what stays with you.

Protect a Stremio addon

Run the AddonPass check in your server before every JSON handler.

See how the install token is hashed, how the credential is scoped, how results are cached, and what happens if AddonPass is unreachable.

Switch the dashboard to Test and use free test USDC and ETH from the official faucets, so nothing costs real money.

Check that non-subscribers are blocked, responses are valid Stremio JSON, CORS works, and install links are built correctly.

Swap the credential on your server without exposing subscriber install links.

Make sure the unprotected manifest and any old host cannot be reached.

Return useful Stremio JSON without opening access.

Use a one-time plan as your donate link: one fixed payment, nothing renews.

Copy a prompt that tells your coding agent exactly how to add the AddonPass check.

Example addons

Two small open source Stremio addons you can copy: one fully paid with subscriptions, and one free with a donation option.

The integration boundary

Nothing sits between Stremio and your handlers: no media proxy, no public wrapper, no separate gateway.
