Bitrefill Website Skill

Programmatic access & purchases: For searching via API, buying products, managing orders, or any automated workflow, use the bitrefill-cli skill instead. This skill is browse-only — it helps users navigate and understand the website.

When to Use This Skill

• Mentions Bitrefill or bitrefill.com
• Asks how to search, find, or compare products on Bitrefill
• Needs information (pricing, availability, country restrictions, denominations)
• Wants to understand what Bitrefill offers or how a product type works

• Buy a product, make a purchase, or pay with crypto
• Use the Bitrefill API or MCP endpoint programmatically
• Manage orders or invoices
• Perform any automated or CLI-based workflow

Quick Decision: What Does the User Want to Do?

User intent?
├─ Learn what Bitrefill offers / product types     → See "Product types at a glance" below; details in references/product-types.md
├─ Search or browse for a product                 → references/search-and-browse.md
└─ Get detailed info (price, country, how it works)→ references/search-and-browse.md

Product Types at a Glance

• Country in URL: The first path segment is country, the second is language (e.g.

  /us/en/gift-cards/

  ,

  /mx/es/gift-cards/

  ). The country segment filters the inventory shown to gift cards usable in that country. To see a specific country's inventory, use that country in the URL.
• Geolock: Purchasability is enforced at IP level, not by the URL. If a product is not purchasable, it is due to the user's IP/location, not the country chosen in the URL.

Task Flows (High Level)

Browse or search

1. Identify product type (gift card / top-up / eSIM) and country (and carrier for top-ups if known).
2. For quick discovery of gift cards, send the user directly to search results:

   https://www.bitrefill.com/{country}/{lang}/gift-cards/?q={query}

   (e.g.

   https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/gift-cards/?q=amazon

   ) — no need to navigate from the home page.
3. For eSIM discovery by destination, send the user to bitrefill.com/esim/all-destinations to browse 190+ countries/regions.
4. Otherwise direct to the right section or use site search; help filter by category, brand, or amount.
5. For depth (categories, brands, denominations): references/search-and-browse.md, references/supported-categories.md.
6. Category = path. To list a category (or subcategory), use

   /{country}/{lang}/gift-cards/{category-slug}/

   .
7. Subcategories: Some categories have subcategories (e.g. travel → flights, train, bus). Same path pattern; slug = subcategory.
8. Listings filters & sort: Gift-card listings (all / category / subcategory) support query params: filters —

   redemptionMethod

   (online|instore),

   minRating

   (2–5),

   minRewards

   (1–10 cashback); sort —

   s=2

   (A–Z),

   s=3

   (recently added),

   s=4

   (cashback); default = popularity. See references/search-and-browse.md.

Tips and Common Pitfalls

• Country first: Use the country in the URL to show the right inventory (cards usable in that country). Region-locked products (e.g. Amazon US vs UK) are the main source of errors — align product country with the user's.
• Geolock vs URL: Whether a product can be bought is determined by the user's IP (geolock), not by the country in the URL. The URL only controls which inventory is listed.
• Refunds: Digital goods are typically non-refundable once delivered; set expectations before purchase.

Limitations

• No scraping: Cloudflare blocks automated access to www.bitrefill.com. Do not use firecrawl or direct scraping — requests return 403.
• No API access: This skill does not use the Bitrefill API or MCP endpoint. For programmatic access (search, buy, order management), use the bitrefill-cli skill.
