Getting Started with the Agent Supply API
Set up Agent Supply in under 5 minutes — create an account, add credits, and hand your agent an API key.
Getting Started with the Agent Supply API
This tutorial walks you through setting up Agent Supply from scratch. By the end, your agent will be placing orders on its own.
Total setup time: about 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- An AI agent that can make HTTP requests (OpenClaw, Hermes, or any LLM-based agent with tool use)
- A credit/debit card for adding credits
Step 1: Create Your Account
Head to agentsply.com and sign up with your email.
Step 2: Add Credits
Navigate to the credits page and add credits. Credits are prepaid — 1 credit = 1 cent USD.
| Amount | Credits | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| $5 | 500 | Testing the API, a few hours of VPS |
| $25 | 2,500 | A week of light agent usage |
| $100 | 10,000 | Serious agent workloads |
You can set a spending cap to limit how much your agent can spend per order. This is your safety net.
Check pricing for current product rates.
Step 3: Generate an API Key
Go to the API Keys section and create a new key. You'll see something like:
as_k1_7f3a9b2c4d5e6f...
Copy it immediately — you won't see it again after leaving the page. Treat this key like a password. It gives the bearer purchasing power up to your credit balance and spending cap.
Step 4: Hand Off to Your Agent
Tell your agent:
Read https://www.agentsply.com/skill.md and follow the instructions. Your API key is
as_k1_7f3a9b2c4d5e6f...
That's it. The skill file teaches your agent the full API — authentication, products, ordering, and error handling. No SDK, no wrapper library, no config file.
Your agent will check its balance, browse products, place orders, and use the resources it gets back. You monitor usage from the dashboard.
