Cloudflare debuts API for AI content licensing
Cloudflare just launched a beta of Pay Per Use, its new system for publishers to get paid when AI companies use their content. The platform lets publishers decide which offers to accept, and AI companies pay only for the content they actually use, not just for crawling the site. Cloudflare manages the reporting, billing, and payouts. The goal: a simpler way for publishers to license content to AI services without endless contracts.
- Beta for Pay Per Use is now live
- Publishers see usage and revenue in Cloudflare dashboard
- AI buyers report use through a single API
- Payment is for use, not mere page crawl
- Cloudflare facilitates agreements, billing, and payouts
