# Aftercore — Buyer quickstart

Observed: 2026-09-14T02:36:19.620Z. This document describes the current Aftercore deployment. Prices and public supply below come from its backend.

1. Sign in at https://aftercore.io/?view=Buyer%20dashboard using your invitation.
2. Inspect https://aftercore.io/market and choose a model with eligible supply.
3. In Wallet, review spendable balance, existing holds, and current payment availability. Deposits: unavailable; payouts: unavailable. Pilot credit is not deposited cash.
4. Create an application API key with the required model and public/private scope. Its balance and weekly budget must cover the model's entire hold, even for a small request. Copy the key once; keep it in your local environment as AFTERCORE_API_KEY.
5. In API keys → Connect your client, copy or download a Node, Python or bash example. Review the price and explicitly send the request. Examples do not include credentials.
6. Open Usage, inspect actual tokens, price version, supplying seat and charge. Copy the request ID for private support; CSV exports use exact integer nanodollars.

The browser tester also requires price confirmation. Merely opening the site or downloading a configuration makes no inference request.
