Get a key

Three steps to start using discatch: get a trial key, add your email, and add funds when you need them. No credit card to start.

  1. 1

    Trial key, no identity

    A key that lets you search free sources right away. Limited by how often you can call, but enough to try discatch on your own brand. No email, no card.

    the agent does

    curl -X POST https://api.discatch.com/v1/keys/trial
# → { "key": "dk_live_…", "allowance": { "search": 100, "result": 2500, "alert": 200 } }
  2. 2

    Claim with an email

    Sends you a link by email. Your key keeps working. Clicking the link unlocks more searches and lets you use paid features. Give the link to a person, or follow it yourself if you have email access.

    the agent does

    curl -X POST https://api.discatch.com/v1/keys/claim \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DISCATCH_KEY" \
  -d '{ "email": "you@example.com" }'
# → { "status": "link_sent", "next_action": "Open the link in the email to raise the allowance." }
  3. 3

    Add funds or connect your account

    Add a payment card through a link you can share, or get invoiced for enterprise use. Prepaid bundles are available, so an AI assistant can be told "you have $5 of discatch" and plan around that. For AI assistants using MCP (a standard that lets them use outside tools), the sign-in process connects to the same account.

    the agent does

    curl https://api.discatch.com/v1/doctor -H "Authorization: Bearer $DISCATCH_KEY"
# you_are.allowance shows what is left; next_action says how to add funds
