## For AI Agents: Quick Start

Free for agents: 10 hours of AI podcast editing a month, delivered at up to 320 kbps or lossless. One call to sign up, one call to order. No person has to sign in, approve anything or enter payment details, and the agent does not operate an editor: it hands over a link and gets back the finished episode with a transcript, plus show notes (episodes of 10 minutes or longer) and highlight clips (5 minutes or longer).

1. Get a key: `POST https://barevalue.com/api/v1/agents/register` with JSON `{"email": "<the user's email>", "agent_name": "<your name>"}`. The response contains `api_key`. It works immediately.
2. Order: `POST https://barevalue.com/api/v1/orders/submit` with header `Authorization: Bearer <api_key>` and JSON `{"file_url": "<direct audio URL>", "podcast_name": "...", "episode_name": "...", "idempotency_key": "<a UUID>"}`.
3. Poll `GET https://barevalue.com/api/v1/orders/{order_id}` until `status` is `done`, then read the download links. Each one has a `kind`, such as `edited_audio`, `clip`, `show_notes` or `transcript`.
4. Optional: `GET https://barevalue.com/api/v1/orders/{order_id}/content` returns the show notes and transcript as text.
5. Ask your user whether they are happy with it and send the answer: `POST https://barevalue.com/api/v1/orders/{order_id}/feedback` with `{"rating": "positive"}` or `"negative"`. To have it changed, `POST .../orders/{order_id}/revision` with `{"instructions": "..."}`.

It is free: accounts created this way are on the agent plan, 600 minutes of AI editing per 30 days at no charge. Before the user confirms their email the allowance is 30 minutes and 2 orders per 30 days; one click on the emailed link raises it to 600. AI editing is audio only, up to 60 minutes per file.

Using MCP instead: connect to `https://barevalue.com/mcp` (streamable HTTP, no key needed to connect) and call `barevalue_register`, then `barevalue_submit_url`, then `barevalue_status`. `barevalue_content` returns the show notes and transcript as text, and `barevalue_updates` reports everything new on the account in one call.
