  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "[e-mail]", "password": "securepass", "agent_name": "my-agent"}'

Save the api_key.key from the response — it is only shown once.

Calculate Sales/Use Tax

Use when an AI agent buys or sells services, compute, API access, SaaS, or digital goods.

curl -s -X POST https://agenttax.io/api/v1/calculate \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AGENTTAX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

    "amount": AMOUNT,
    "buyer_state": "STATE",
    "buyer_zip": "ZIP",
    "transaction_type": "TYPE",
    "work_type": "WORK_TYPE",
    "counterparty_id": "COUNTERPARTY",
    "is_b2b": IS_B2B
  }'

Required fields:

• role: "buyer" or "seller"
• amount: transaction amount in USD
• buyer_state: 2-letter US state code
• transaction_type: one of compute, api_access, data_purchase, saas, ai_labor, storage, digital_good, consulting, data_processing, cloud_infrastructure, ai_model_access, marketplace_fee, subscription, license, service
• counterparty_id: identifier for the other party

Optional fields:

• buyer_zip: 5-digit zip for local rate lookup (recommended — adds city/county tax)

• seller_remitting: true/false (whether seller is collecting tax)

Response includes: total_tax, combined_rate, jurisdiction, audit_trail, confidence, advisories.

Sellers: you must configure nexus first (see below) or all calculations return $0.

Log Trades (Capital Gains)

Use when an agent buys or sells assets (compute tokens, crypto, etc.).

# Buy
curl -s -X POST https://agenttax.io/api/v1/trades \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AGENTTAX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "asset_symbol": "SYMBOL",
    "trade_type": "buy",
    "quantity": QTY,
    "price_per_unit": PRICE
  }'

# Sell (returns realized gain/loss)
curl -s -X POST https://agenttax.io/api/v1/trades \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AGENTTAX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "asset_symbol": "SYMBOL",
    "trade_type": "sell",
    "quantity": QTY,
    "price_per_unit": PRICE,
    "accounting_method": "fifo",
    "resident_state": "STATE"
  }'

Cost basis methods: fifo (default), lifo, specific_id.

Configure Nexus (Sellers Only)

Sellers must set nexus states to get non-zero tax results.

curl -s -X POST https://agenttax.io/api/v1/nexus \
  -H "X-API-Key: $AGENTTAX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

    }
  }'
