# Lindy Install & Auth

## Overview
Lindy AI is a no-code/low-code AI agent platform. Agents ("Lindies") are built in the
web dashboard at https://app.lindy.ai. External integration uses webhook endpoints,
the HTTP Request action, and optional Node.js/Python SDKs for programmatic access.

## Prerequisites
- Lindy account at https://app.lindy.ai (Free tier: 400 credits/month)
- For SDK access: Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
- For webhook receivers: HTTPS endpoint in your application

## Instructions

### Step 1: Obtain API Key
1. Log in at https://app.lindy.ai
2. Navigate to **Settings > API Keys**
3. Click **Generate New Key** — copy immediately (shown only once)
4. Store securely:
```bash
# Environment variable
export LINDY_API_KEY="lnd_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# Or .env file (add .env to .gitignore)
echo 'LINDY_API_KEY=lnd_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' >> .env
```

### Step 2: Install SDK (Optional)
```bash
# Node.js SDK
npm install lindy-ai

# Python SDK
pip install lindy-ai
```

### Step 3: Initialize Client
```typescript
// Node.js
import { Lindy } from 'lindy-ai';

const lindy = new Lindy({
  apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY,
});

// Verify connection
const agents = await lindy.agents.list();
console.log(`Connected: ${agents.length} agents found`);
```

```python
# Python
import os
from lindy import Lindy

client = Lindy(api_key=os.environ["LINDY_API_KEY"])

# Verify connection
agents = client.agents.list()
print(f"Connected: {len(agents)} agents found")
```

### Step 4: Configure Webhook Authentication
When creating a webhook trigger in the Lindy dashboard, generate a secret key.
Callers must include this in every request:

```
Authorization: Bearer <your-webhook-secret>
```

Your webhook endpoint URL follows the pattern:
```
https://public.lindy.ai/api/v1/webhooks/<unique-id>
```

### Step 5: Verify Webhook Connectivity
```bash
# Test your webhook trigger
curl -X POST "https://public.lindy.ai/api/v1/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"test": true, "message": "hello from setup"}'
```

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `401 Unauthorized` | Invalid or expired API key | Regenerate key in Settings > API Keys |
| `403 Forbidden` | Key lacks required scope | Check plan tier supports API access |
| `429 Too Many Requests` | Credit limit exceeded | Upgrade plan or wait for monthly reset |
| `Webhook 401` | Missing/wrong Bearer token | Verify secret matches dashboard value |
| `ECONNREFUSED` | Lindy API unreachable | Check https://status.lindy.ai |

## Security Checklist
- [ ] API key stored in env var or secret manager — never in source code
- [ ] `.env` added to `.gitignore`
- [ ] Webhook secret generated and stored securely
- [ ] HTTPS enforced on all webhook receiver endpoints
- [ ] API key scoped to minimum required permissions
