Introduction
The Quickstart guide provides a basic example of how to use the Agent Gateway.
This guide provides more examples and code snippets to help you get started.
Fetching the agent card
curl --location --request POST 'https://agents.portkey.ai/v1/agent/{agent-slug}/.well-known/agent.json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-portkey-api-key: {PORTKEY_API_KEY}'
Invoking the agent
JSON-RPC examples
curl --location 'https://agents.portkey.ai/v1/agent/{agent-slug}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-portkey-api-key: {PORTKEY_API_KEY}' \
--data '{
