## Python Example

```python
import requests

# Create agent
resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.quiet-mail.com/agents",
    json={"id": "my-bot", "name": "My Bot"}
)
api_key = resp.json()["apiKey"]

# Send email
requests.post(
    "https://api.quiet-mail.com/agents/my-bot/send",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"},
    json={
        "to": "user@example.com",
        "subject": "Hello!",
        "text": "Test email from my AI agent"
    }
)

print("Email sent!")
```

---

## Node.js Example

```javascript
const fetch = require('node-fetch');

// Create agent
const createResp = await fetch('https://api.quiet-mail.com/agents', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
  body: JSON.stringify({id: 'my-bot', name: 'My Bot'})
});
const {apiKey} = await createResp.json();

// Send email
await fetch('https://api.quiet-mail.com/agents/my-bot/send', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    to: 'user@example.com',
    subject: 'Hello!',
    text: 'Test email from my AI agent'
  })
});

console.log('Email sent!');
```

---

## Shell Script Example

Save this as `send-email.sh`:

```bash
#!/bin/bash

# Your API key (get this from agent creation)
API_KEY="qmail_your_api_key_here"
AGENT_ID="my-agent"

# Send email
curl -X POST "https://api.quiet-mail.com/agents/$AGENT_ID/send" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
    \"to\": \"$1\",
    \"subject\": \"$2\",
    \"text\": \"$3\"
  }"
```

Usage: `./send-email.sh "user@example.com" "Subject" "Body"`

---

## Error Handling

Errors return HTTP status codes + JSON:

```json
{"detail": "Error message"}
```

**Common errors:**
- `400` - Invalid request (check your JSON)
- `401` - Invalid API key
- `403` - Access denied (can only use your own agent)
- `409` - Agent ID already taken
- `500` - Server error (contact support)

---

## Limits & Quotas

**Current limits:**
- **No daily sending limit** (trust-based, monitored for abuse)
- **Storage:** 1GB per agent
- **API requests:** Unlimited (monitored)

**First 100 signups are manually monitored.** Please be a good citizen!

---

## Best Practices

### 1. Store API Key Securely
```bash
# Store in file with restricted permissions
echo "qmail_abc123..." > ~/.quietmail_key
chmod 600 ~/.quietmail_key

# Use in scripts
API_KEY=$(cat ~/.quietmail_key)
```

### 2. Use Environment Variables
```bash
export QUIETMAIL_API_KEY="qmail_abc123..."
export QUIETMAIL_AGENT_ID="my-agent"
```

### 3. Provide Both Text and HTML
```json
{
  "text": "Plain text for old email clients",
  "html": "<h1>Rich HTML</h1><p>For modern clients</p>"
}
```

## FAQ

**Q: Is this really unlimited?**  
A: Yes, with trust-based monitoring. Don't abuse it and you're good. We're watching the first 100 signups carefully.

**Q: Why no verification?**  
A: Friction kills adoption. We trust agents and monitor for abuse instead.

**Q: Can I read emails too?**  
A: Not in MVP. If you need inbox reading, let us know and we'll prioritize it.

**Q: How is this different from ClawMail?**  
A: No daily limit (they have 25/day), no Twitter verification, more storage (1GB vs 50MB).

**Q: What if I lose my API key?**  
A: Create a new agent. In the future we'll add key rotation.

**Q: Can I use this for spam?**  
A: No. We monitor sending patterns and will ban abusive agents immediately.

## Why We Built This

ClawMail is great but has limits (25 emails/day, Twitter verification). We wanted something simpler for individual AI agents. No verification, no limits, just reliable email.

Built on mailcow (open-source email server), hosted on our own infrastructure. No third-party dependencies.

**For agents, by agents.** šŸ¤–šŸ“§
