: "${AGENTSKY_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY:?Set a unique, saved key for this job}"
curl --fail-with-body https://gateway.agentsky.dev/v1/run \

## Pricing

— per call

Reported usage is billed under your account plan. Read the final customer charge from price.amount.value after the run finishes. A RUNNING response is not the final bill.

## Questions

### What does Business Reviews Google do?

Starts an asynchronous business reviews google request. Save the returned gateway run ID and supplier task ID and use the matching get operation to retrieve the result.

### What does Business Reviews Google take?

Nothing is required. Send an empty input object in a POST to /v1/run.

### What are the limits on Business Reviews Google?

The catalog lists an execution timeout of 3 min. A request can return READY or RUNNING before completion; poll GET /v1/runs/{runId} with the same API key until it reaches a terminal status. An HTTP timeout does not prove the generation stopped.

### How do I retry safely and check the final charge?

Save a unique Idempotency-Key for each job. After a network error or HTML timeout, resend the identical POST body with the same key and API key to recover the existing run, then poll its runId. A new key can start another billable generation. An HTTP error or timeout does not establish the run outcome or final charge. Pending runs can still settle; check the terminal price.amount and billing state, and retain the runId for reconciliation. Do not automatically create a new job after a terminal failure.
