API keys carry no scopes and can delete the account, rental creation has no idempotency key, and renting needs a browser signup and a $5 deposit.\n\n**Northflank.** OpenAPI 3.0 with over 100 paths, enums and `per_page`, `page` and `cursor` on every list. No scale to zero for services; minimum instances must be at least 1.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Hyperbolic\n\n1. Read `GET /v2/on-demand/rental-options` first. It needs no key and lists what can be rented now, with `costPerHourCents` per GPU configuration.\n2. Send `rentalType` and `gpuCount` to `POST /v2/on-demand/rentals`. Region defaults to `us-central-1` and GPU type to `h100`, so set both from the options list.\n3. List active rentals before retrying a failed create call. There is no idempotency key and every ready rental bills hourly.\n4. Save an SSH public key with `POST /v2/ssh-keys` before renting. Without `sshPublicKeyIds` the newest saved key is attached.\n5. Do not create reserved rentals unless asked. They are paid in full up front and cannot be terminated early.\n\n### Northflank\n\n1. Issue the agent a team token under an API role limited to one project, not a personal token\n2. Read `x-ratelimit-remaining` and wait `x-ratelimit-reset` seconds on a 429; the default is 1,000 calls an hour\n3. Page lists with `per_page` up to 100 and the returned `cursor` instead of numbered pages\n4. Use a job, not a service, for anything that finishes; services bill until paused or deleted\n5. Fetch any docs page with .md appended to get Markdown\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Hyperbolic or Northflank?\n\nNorthflank scores 61.3 (C) on agent readiness against Hyperbolic's 48 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
