Talkspresso

Manage a Talkspresso business (services, appointments, products, clients, earnings, calendar) using the Talkspresso REST API. Use when the user wants to check bookings, create services, manage digital products, view earnings, update their profile, schedule sessions, or do anything related to their Talkspresso account. Requires TALKSPRESSO_API_KEY environment variable.

Manage a Talkspresso business via the REST API using curl and jq.

Setup

The user needs a TALKSPRESSO_API_KEY. If missing:

1. Direct them to https://app.talkspresso.com/settings/api-keys to generate one
2. If they don't have a Talkspresso account, direct them to https://talkspresso.com/signup
3. Set it: export TALKSPRESSO_API_KEY="tsp_..."

If the user is new to Talkspresso, help them set up: profile, timezone, availability, first service.
