provision
Create a free trial account and get an API key, no signup and no card. Call this first if you have no key: you get 500 free credits. Over MCP, later calls in this same session authenticate automatically; over REST, send the key as 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' on every call. The response includes the api_key (shown exactly once, so store it) and a claim_url to keep the account permanently. Costs 0 credits. Trial limits: 1 concurrent call, 20 calls/minute, search capped at 10 results per call, 5 realtime fetches total. Not for checking your balance: that is get_usage.
