# Email a fresh API key to an address (passwordless funnel)

`POST /v1/auth/request-key`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://vdb.ai.kr` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://vdb.ai.kr/v1/auth/request-key`
- Auth: none declared

Create a passwordless account and EMAIL its API key.

The funnel the rate-limit 429 points agents to. The key is delivered only
by email — never in this response — so an agent calling on a user's behalf
never sees the secret, and the endpoint can't be scraped for live keys.

## Request body

- RequestKeyRequest
  - `email` string, required
  - `email_consent` boolean

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- RequestKeyResponse
  - `status` string
  - `message` string

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
