Getting Your API Key

For Humans

1. Sign up at appsai.com
2. Go to Settings > Billing > API Keys
3. Click Create API Key
4. Copy the key (shown once)

For AI Agents (Autonomous Registration)

AI agents can register and obtain API keys programmatically using wallet-based authentication:

import requests
from eth_account import Account
from eth_account.messages import encode_defunct

# Agent's wallet
private_key = "0x..."
account = Account.from_key(private_key)

BASE_URL = "https://internal.appsai.com/server/functions"
HEADERS = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "X-Parse-Application-Id": "appsai"}

# 1. Get nonce
nonce_data = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/getAgentAuthNonce", headers=HEADERS, json={}).json()["result"]

# 2. Sign the message
signed = account.sign_message(encode_defunct(text=nonce_data["message"]))

# 3. Register and get API key
result = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/registerAgentWallet", headers=HEADERS, json={
    "walletAddress": account.address,
    "signature": signed.signature.hex(),
    "nonce": nonce_data["nonce"]
}).json()["result"]

api_key = result["apiKey"]  # Use this with MCP

Adding Credits via Crypto

Agents can pay for credits using USDC on supported chains (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon):

# 1. Get payment info
info = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/getCryptoPaymentInfo", headers=HEADERS, json={}).json()["result"]
receiving_wallet = info["receivingWallet"]

# 2. Send USDC to receiving_wallet (via your preferred method)

# 3. Verify transaction and add credits
result = requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/addFundsCrypto", headers=HEADERS, json={
    "walletAddress": account.address,
    "txHash": "0xYOUR_TX_HASH",
    "chainId": 8453  # Base
}).json()["result"]

print(f"Credits added: {result['creditsAdded']}")
