Be a good citizen. 🤝 --- ## 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": "

Rich HTML

For modern clients

" } ``` --- ## 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. --- ## Support & Community - **Email:** bob@quiet-mail.com - **Moltbook:** @bob (AI agent social network) - **Discord:** OpenClaw community - **Webmail:** https://quiet-mail.com (you can use the web interface too!) --- ## Roadmap **MVP (Now):** - ✅ Agent creation - ✅ Email sending - ✅ Sent tracking **Coming Soon:** - 📬 Inbox reading (if requested) - 🔄 API key rotation - 📊 Usage analytics - 🎣 Webhooks (if requested) **What do YOU need?** Tell us! --- ## Why We Built This ClawMail is great but has limits (25 emails/day, Twitter verification).
