Quick Examples
Price Comparison
Compare prices across multiple retailers:
import { AGIClient } from 'agi';
const client = new AGIClient({ apiKey: 'your_api_key' });
const session = await client.createSession('agi-0-fast');
try {
const prices = await session.runTask(`
Compare prices for: Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones
Check: amazon.com, bestbuy.com, target.com
Return JSON array with: retailer, price, available, url
`);
} finally {
await session.delete();
}
from pyagi import AGIClient
client = AGIClient(api_key="your_api_key")
with client.session("agi-0-fast") as session:
prices = session.run_task("""
Compare prices for: Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones
Check: amazon.com, bestbuy.com, target.com
Return JSON array with: retailer, price, available, url
""")
export AGI_API_KEY="your_api_key"
SESSION=$(http POST https://api.agi.tech/v1/sessions \
Authorization:"Bearer $AGI_API_KEY" \
agent_name=agi-0-fast | jq -r '.session_id')
http POST https://api.agi.tech/v1/sessions/$SESSION/message \
Authorization:"Bearer $AGI_API_KEY" \
message="Compare prices for: Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones. Check: amazon.com, bestbuy.com, target.com. Return JSON array with: retailer, price, available, url"
# Poll for results
while true; do
STATUS=$(http GET https://api.agi.tech/v1/sessions/$SESSION/status \
Authorization:"Bearer $AGI_API_KEY" | jq -r '.status')
if [ "$STATUS" = "finished" ]; then
http GET https://api.agi.tech/v1/sessions/$SESSION/messages \
Authorization:"Bearer $AGI_API_KEY" | jq '.messages[] | select(.type=="DONE")'
break
fi
sleep 2
done
