While browsing and reading articles here in DEV, I found this interesting hackathon on my feed and started to read some resources and view 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:

Exciting Experiments

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

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

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

the package just only use

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