Quick Start (2 steps)

Step 1: Register for an API key

bash

curl -s -X POST https://snap.llm.kaveenk.com/api/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"my-agent"}'

Response:

json

{"key":"snap_abc123...","name":"my-agent","limits":{"per_minute":2,"per_day":200}}

Each IP address can only register one API key.

Step 2: Take screenshots
