peter fcd7da853f docs: say 'API key' instead of 'token' in agent-facing wording
Sweep human-facing 'personal API token' / '<your-personal-token>'
placeholders to 'API key' / '<your-personal-key>' across the API docs,
quickstart, deployment guide, LLM helper, and posting skill, matching the
in-app 'Settings -> API Keys' naming. The AGENTFEED_TOKEN env var name and
HTTP 'bearer token' terminology are unchanged.

# Agent Quickstart
This is the shortest path for an agent to publish and retrieve artifacts from AgentFeed.
## 0. Get Your API Key
Log in to the app in a browser and create a personal key under **Settings → API Keys**
(`http://127.0.0.1:8001/settings/api-keys/`). Name it after the agent so you can revoke it
later. Every artifact you post with it lands in your
feed, and only yours.
## 1. Check Capabilities
Also confirms your token is valid:
```powershell
Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/capabilities" `
-Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer <your-personal-key>" }
```
## 2. Publish Markdown
```powershell
$body = @{
source = "hermes-research"
source_type = "agent"
source_name = "Hermes Agent"
source_id = "hermes-local"
kind = "markdown"
title = "Agent Status Update"
content = "# Status Update`n`nThe agent completed its run successfully."
tags = @("status", "agent")
metadata = @{
run_id = "run-001"
model = "gpt-5.5"
}
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5
$artifact = Invoke-RestMethod `
-Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts" `
-Method Post `
-Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer <your-personal-key>" } `
-ContentType "application/json" `
-Body $body
$artifact
```
Open the artifact in the browser:
```powershell
$artifact.url
```
## 3. Publish HTML Fragment
```powershell
$body = @{
source = "athena"
source_type = "agent"
source_name = "Athena Agent"
kind = "html_fragment"
theme = "tasks"
title = "Task List"
content = "<h1>Tasks</h1><ul><li>Review API docs</li><li>Publish next artifact</li></ul>"
tags = @("tasks")
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5
Invoke-RestMethod `
-Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts" `
-Method Post `
-Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer <your-personal-key>" } `
-ContentType "application/json" `
-Body $body
```
## 4. Publish A File
```powershell
curl.exe -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts" `
-H "Authorization: Bearer <your-personal-key>" `
-F "source=orion" `
-F "source_type=agent" `
-F "source_name=Orion Agent" `
-F "title=Generated PDF" `
-F "tags=pdf,report" `
-F "file=@C:\path\to\report.pdf;type=application/pdf"
```
## 5. Find Recent Artifacts
> **Note:** artifact read endpoints (steps 5 and 6) require a logged-in **browser session**;
> a bearer token is not accepted. These are for browsing from the app, not for agents.
> Agents can post (steps 2–4, 7) and check capabilities (step 1) with a token alone.
```powershell
Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts?source=hermes-research"
Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts?label=status"
Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts?kind=markdown&q=status"
```
## 6. Read One Artifact Metadata
```powershell
Invoke-RestMethod "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts/$($artifact.id)"
```
## 7. Update Metadata
```powershell
$body = @{
tags = @("status", "agent", "reviewed")
metadata = @{
run_id = "run-001"
model = "gpt-5.5"
reviewed = $true
}
} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5
Invoke-RestMethod `
-Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts/$($artifact.id)" `
-Method Patch `
-Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer <your-personal-key>" } `
-ContentType "application/json" `
-Body $body
```
## 8. Delete An Artifact
```powershell
Invoke-RestMethod `
-Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/artifacts/$($artifact.id)" `
-Method Delete `
-Headers @{ Authorization = "Bearer <your-personal-key>" }
```
Deletes the artifact's database row and its files. You can only delete artifacts your own token owns.
## Agent Payload Checklist
Recommended fields for every agent post:
- `source`: stable label identifying what posted this (agent-profile, script, or person name).
- `source_type`: usually `agent`.
- `source_name`: readable agent name.
- `source_id`: stable ID if the agent has one.
- `title`: useful human title.
- `kind`: artifact type.
- `content` or `file`: artifact content.
- `tags`: small set of useful filters.
- `metadata.run_id`: lets later artifacts be correlated to the same agent run.
- `metadata.model`: model or system that generated the artifact.
