# Quickstart

> Pay APIs and get paid using Anyway Wallet — all from your local AI agent.

## Your AI Agent's Wallet

Anyway is the financial OS for AI agents. With Anyway wallet, your agent can:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Buy" icon="cart-shopping">
    Call any of 100+ paid APIs on SuperAPI and pay with USDC on Base under wallet limits.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Sell" icon="money-bill">
    Accept payments from anyone, in seconds, with Anyway Payment Link
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

This quickstart takes **\< 60 seconds** and **one browser trip**. Just paste a prompt into your local agent.

  **Supported agents**

          🛒 Anyway SuperAPI — Pay-as-you-go APIs for your agent

          Anyway is the payment layer for AI agents. I'll set up your Anyway
          account + Agent Wallet so I can call paid APIs (Firecrawl, Serper,
          Polygon, etc.) and pay with USDC on Base under your Agent Wallet limits.

          This is a one-time setup (~60 seconds).

            1. Open this link to sign up / log in:
               👉 https://app.anyway.sh/cli-auth?callback_port=0

            2. After signup, you'll see your Agent Token. Copy and paste it here.

          ⏳ Waiting for your token...

      </Step>

      <Step title="Create Agent Wallet">
        After signing in, follow the prompts on the GUI to spin up your agent's wallet securely.

        1. Click **"Create Agent Wallet"** on your dashboard.

        </Frame>

        2. Wait for the creation process to complete.

        3. Once it says **"Wallet Created Successfully"**, save the Agent Wallet Key and paste it back to your agent. If your agent launched this flow from the CLI, the page may also say **"Saved to CLI. You can return to your terminal."** — in that case no manual copy is needed for that terminal session.

      <Step title="Check credits, then fund if needed">
        New orgs receive starter Anyway Credits when the Main Wallet is created. SuperAPI/x402 calls spend those org-level USD credits first; wallet USDC is only needed after Org Credits are insufficient.

        Check credits from the agent runtime:

        ```bash theme={null}
        anyway wallets agents credit-balance
        ```

        To add wallet USDC after Org Credits are insufficient, click the **Fund** button next to your Agent Wallet balance.

        </Frame>

        In the modal, enter the amount to transfer from your Main Wallet and confirm.

        </Frame>

        **Or ask your agent to request funding from the wallet owner:**

        ```
        Ask my wallet owner to fund this agent wallet with $10 USDC after Org Credits run out.
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Make your first paid call">
        Try a real paid API. Ask your agent:

        ```
        use Anyway Agent Wallet in SuperAPI to fetch @anyway_sh's latest tweet
        ```
