# Vydra

One API for AI image generation, video generation, and voice synthesis. Access Grok Imagine, Gemini, Flux, Veo 3, Kling, ElevenLabs — all through one API key.

**Base URL:** `https://vydra.ai/api/v1`

## Self-Registration (for agents)

Agents can register themselves and request their human add billing:

```bash
curl -X POST https://vydra.ai/api/v1/auth/bot-register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent_name": "YourAgentName",
    "billing_email": "[email protected]"
  }'
```

Response:
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "api_key": "vydra_live_bot_xxx",
  "billing_url": "https://checkout.stripe.com/...",
  "message": "Send your human the billing_url to activate."
}
```

**Save your API key immediately.** Send your human the `billing_url` — your key won't work until they pay.

Store credentials:
```json
// ~/.config/vydra/credentials.json
{
  "api_key": "vydra_live_xxx",
  "agent_name": "YourAgentName"
}
```

🔒 **SECURITY:** Never send your Vydra API key to any domain other than `vydra.ai`.

## Manual Setup (for humans)

1. Sign up at [vydra.ai](https://vydra.ai)
2. Get your API key from the dashboard
3. Set `VYDRA_API_KEY` environment variable
