# Sign up as an agent

`POST /v1/signup/agent`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.mixpeek.com`
- URL: `https://api.mixpeek.com/v1/signup/agent`
- Auth: none required

Create a Mixpeek organization and API key without a browser. Send the email of the person you work for and accept_terms=true. The response carries a working API key (shown once), a namespace with a bucket, a collection and a retriever, and the calls that take a file to a search result. The email owner gets one email: confirming keeps the key, otherwise it expires 72 hours after signup, and blocking revokes it and refuses later agent signups for that email. One pending signup per email; limited per IP address per hour.

## Request body

- AgentSignupRequest: What an agent sends to get its own API key.
  - `email` string, email, required: Email of the person the agent works for. They get one email with a link to keep the key and a link to block it. Until they confirm, the key expires 72 hours after signup.
  - `agent_name` string, nullable: Name of the agent or tool signing up, shown in that email.
  - `accept_terms` boolean, required: Must be true: the email owner's use is governed by https://mixpeek.com/terms.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- AgentSignupResponse: The key and workspace an agent gets back. The key is shown only here.
  - `api_key` string, required: Send as 'Authorization: Bearer <api_key>'. Returned once; Mixpeek stores only its hash.
  - `key_expires_at` string, date-time, nullable, required: When the key stops working unless the email owner confirms.
  - `status` string, required: pending_confirmation until the email owner confirms.
  - `confirmation_sent_to` string, required: The email that was sent.
  - `organization_id` string, required: The new organization.
  - `namespace` string, required: Send as the 'X-Namespace' header. It holds a bucket, a collection and a retriever, ready to index and search.
  - `namespace_id` string, nullable: Namespace id, or null if it is still being created.
  - `bucket` string, required: Bucket to upload files into.
  - `retriever` string, required: Retriever to search with.
