This is a wrapper API for the LemonFox AI speech generation service with usage tracking, rate limiting, and document text extraction capabilities. It simplifies the interface by only exposing the essential parameters while handling authentication, usage tracking, and configuration internally.

• Authentication: RevenueCat subscription verification + admin bypass
• Multiple Subscription Tiers: Plus (900k/month) and Pro (2.7M/month) plans
• Non-Expiring Credit Packs: Purchase one-off credit packs (25k, 100k, 500k characters)
• Dual-Bucket Credit System: Subscription credits expire monthly, purchased credits never expire
• Usage Tracking: Comprehensive ledger-based tracking with SQLite storage
• Document Text Extraction: Extract clean text from .txt, .rtf, .docx, .md, .pdf, and .epub files for TTS
• URL Content Extraction: Extract readable content from web pages using reader view algorithms
• Modular Architecture: Separated middleware and database modules

1. LEMONFOX_API_KEY - Your LemonFox API key
2. REVENUECAT_API_KEY - Your RevenueCat API key for subscription verification
3. ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY - Admin bypass key for development/testing
4. PDF_PARSER_API_KEY - Admin key for the primary OCR PDF parser
5. PDFVECTOR_API_KEY - Your PDFVector API key (fallback)
6. REVENUECAT_WEBHOOK_AUTH - Authentication key for RevenueCat webhook endpoint

Update the REVENUECAT_PROJECT_ID constant in /backend/middleware/auth.ts with your actual RevenueCat project ID.

All API endpoints (except /health) require authentication via the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY

Authorization: Bearer CUSTOMER_ID

or

Authorization: Customer CUSTOMER_ID

The API will verify the customer has active entitlements via RevenueCat before allowing access.

The system uses SQLite with multiple tables for comprehensive tracking:

Tracks all usage (both subscription and non-expiring):

• id - Auto-incrementing primary key
• customer_id - Customer identifier from RevenueCat
• character_count - Number of characters in the request
• request_timestamp - ISO timestamp of the request
• created_at - Database insertion timestamp

Ledger of all credit additions:

• id - Auto-incrementing primary key
• customer_id - Customer identifier
• source - Type of grant (free_grant, iap, admin, refund)
• product_lookup_key - RevenueCat product ID for purchases
• revenuecat_tx_id - Transaction ID for idempotency
• characters_granted - Number of characters granted (negative for refunds)
• price_usd - Price paid for the credits
• granted_at - Timestamp of grant

Ledger of non-expiring credit consumption:

• id - Auto-incrementing primary key
• customer_id - Customer identifier
• usage_id - Foreign key to customer_usage_v1
• characters_consumed - Number of non-expiring characters used
• consumed_at - Timestamp of consumption

The API automatically configures:

• response_format: Always set to "mp3"
• word_timestamps: Always set to true

Only voice and input parameters need to be provided by the client.
