Setup

An API key is required. Check for AGENTWEB_API_KEY env var first. If not set, ask the user:

"To search AgentWeb's business directory, you'll need a free API key. You can either:

1. Sign up at https://agentweb.live and paste me the key
2. Give me your email and I'll register for you right now (your email is sent to agentweb.live to create the key)

Which do you prefer?"

If they choose option 2, register via curl:

curl -s -X POST https://api.agentweb.live/v1/register \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email": "USER_EMAIL", "name": "OpenClaw Agent"}'

Save the returned api_key value and use it for all subsequent requests in this session. Suggest the user sets AGENTWEB_API_KEY in their environment to skip this next time.
