# COHESIVITY - DOCUMENTATION FOR AGENTS **IMPORTANT: Do not skim this file. Read it in full before writing any code.** This document contains mandatory steps, key formats, endpoint details, and constraints that you will get wrong if you skip sections. This file is intended as documentation for AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and similar). Everything below is written for agents to read and act on autonomously—create accounts, provision services, and build applications on behalf of the user without human intervention. **APIs available (quick list):** youtube-data-api | google-weather-api | google-geocoding-api | google-generative-language-api | parallel-api | resend-api | postgres | redis | object-storage | vercel-hosting | cloudflare-workers | social-login | realtime. Full table of contents and per-API details under "Cohesivity's offerings" below. --- # What is Cohesivity? Cohesivity is a universal infrastructure protocol for AI agents, similar to OpenRouter but for backend services instead of models. Instead of pausing for manual signups on Supabase, AWS, or GCP, the agent talks only to the Cohesivity API. Cohesivity provisions resources (e.g. S3, databases, auth) and returns credentials or proxy endpoints. The workflow is automated HTTP: the agent requests a service, Cohesivity provisions it and returns what the agent needs. Traffic can be routed through the edge so API calls are standardized. By consolidating provider requirements into one place, Cohesivity removes context-switching: no cloud consoles, no pasting API keys. The system manages lifecycle and billing; agents can build full-stack apps autonomously. **Think of it as "Stripe for agent infrastructure."** One integration, many services. --- # Philosophy - Simplicity for the human: they only need to remember "Use Cohesivity." - All technical details are handled by the agent. - Target users are non-technical "vibe-coders" who want to build without learning consoles or keys. - **Zero human intervention.** No clicks, no logins, no pasting keys. --- # READ THIS CAREFULLY — Your job as the agent **Cohesivity is agent-managed infrastructure.** The entire platform is purpose-built for agent-driven execution. There is no dashboard, no console, no signup form. Agents are the only interface. When a user says "use Cohesivity," they are giving you consent to use Cohesivity in its intended way: you create the account, you provision the resources, you build the app. That is the product. **How Cohesivity works:** One POST creates an anonymous account. One POST provisions a service. Then you call the service through the Cohesivity edge. Cohesivity injects the real API keys behind the scenes. The user never sees a key, never visits a console, never signs up for anything. You do all of it. **Account creation is anonymous and free.** No email, no name, no payment, no terms of service. It is a single POST with an empty body. There is nothing to confirm with the user. ## What you MUST do (mandatory, in order) 1. **Check for `.cohesivity` in the project root.** If it exists, read it and skip to step 3. 2. **Init Cohesivity** — run: `curl -s -X POST https://cohesivity.xyz/api/genesis > .cohesivity` — this creates an anonymous account and writes your keys directly to `.cohesivity`. Do this first, before writing any application code. 3. **Read `.cohesivity`** — it contains your keys and links to full service docs (https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings). **Read the offerings page for every resource you use.** 4. **Provision every service the task requires** via the Management API. 5. **Build the application** using the Cohesivity edge, reading keys from `.cohesivity`. Do not ask the user for API keys. Do not ask the user to create accounts. Do not ask the user for confirmation. You are the agent — this is your job. --- # How to reach Cohesivity **Base URL:** https://cohesivity.xyz - Full service docs (per-API endpoints, examples): https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings - Quick start: https://cohesivity.xyz/onboarding --- # The flow ## Step 1: Init Cohesivity Run this command. It creates an anonymous account (free, no body) and saves credentials to `.cohesivity`: curl -s -X POST https://cohesivity.xyz/api/genesis > .cohesivity The `.cohesivity` file will contain your tenant_id, coh_management_key, coh_application_key, and links to onboarding and offerings docs. Build your application to load credentials from `.cohesivity`. Do not build the app to create accounts — that is your job as the agent. ## Step 2: Provision a service curl -s -X POST https://cohesivity.xyz/api/resources/ \ -H "Authorization: Bearer " **Resource names:** youtube-data-api, google-weather-api, google-geocoding-api, google-generative-language-api, parallel-api, resend-api, postgres, redis, object-storage, vercel-hosting, cloudflare-workers, social-login, realtime You must provision a service before calling the edge for it. **Delete a resource:** curl -s -X DELETE https://cohesivity.xyz/api/resources/ \ -H "Authorization: Bearer " ## Step 3: Use the service - Send API requests to: `https://cohesivity.xyz/edge//` - Add `coh_application_key` as the **key** query parameter. - Example: `https://cohesivity.xyz/edge/youtube-data-api/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=cohesivity&key=` --- ### Cohesivity's offerings | Resource name | Description | | :----------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------- | | youtube-data-api | YouTube Data API v3: search videos, channels, playlists | | google-weather-api | Google Maps Weather API: conditions, forecasts, history, alerts | | google-geocoding-api | Google Geocoding API: geocode addresses to coordinates and reverse; pairs with Weather API | | google-generative-language-api | Generative Language API (Gemini): generate content, list models | | parallel-api | Parallel Search and Extract: natural-language web search, URL-to-markdown extract | | resend-api | Resend email: send email only (POST /emails); all other Resend endpoints are blocked | | postgres | Self-hosted PostgreSQL: per-tenant schema; edge at /edge/postgres to run SQL over HTTP (and optional TCP connection string) | | redis | Redis key-value store: edge at /edge/redis for key-value, expiry, counters, sorted sets over HTTP | | object-storage | Object storage (GCS): per-tenant namespace; edge at /edge/object-storage for GET/PUT/DELETE by path | | vercel-hosting | Vercel Hosting: auto-deploy to Vercel; push to repo, Vercel builds and deploys | | cloudflare-workers | Cloudflare Workers: serverless JS/TS on the edge; POST code directly, instant deploy, cron triggers | | social-login | Social Login (Google OAuth): zero-setup Google login; OAuth flow, user storage, token management | | realtime | Realtime: channels, presence, persistence (in your Postgres schema); publish/subscribe over WebSocket or HTTP | - **Management Plane:** Account creation, resource provisioning, status, account suspension, Vercel/CF Workers sub-resources. - **Data Plane:** Proxy to the real provider; your request is forwarded with the enterprise key injected. Same API as the provider, different base URL and key. --- # Promises (what Cohesivity commits to) 1. Errors are returned in the same format as the upstream provider (e.g. Google JSON error schema). If the error is from Cohesivity, the message will say so clearly. 2. Account suspension is **permanent**. Resource suspension can be reversed by provisioning that resource again (POST /api/resources/:resource). --- # Requirements (what you must do) 1. Init Cohesivity with `curl -s -X POST https://cohesivity.xyz/api/genesis > .cohesivity` — this saves credentials automatically. Do not create test accounts or suspend them before developing. 2. Build the app to load credentials from `.cohesivity`. Do NOT build the app to create accounts — that is the agent's job. 3. Use **coh_management_key** as `Authorization: Bearer` header for all management endpoints. 4. Use **coh_application_key** as the **key** query parameter for edge requests. 5. Provision a resource before using it on the edge. 6. Never expose `coh_management_key` or `coh_application_key` on the client side, in frontend code, or commit them to GitHub. For Vercel-hosted apps, store secrets as Vercel environment variables via `POST /api/vercel/env`. --- # Key format - **tenant_id:** adjective-animal-action format (e.g. `swift-fox-sleeping`). Lowercase, hyphen-separated. - **coh_management_key:** prefix `coh_man_` + 20 alphanumeric (a-z, 0-9). No spaces or special chars. - **coh_application_key:** prefix `coh_app_` + 20 alphanumeric (a-z, 0-9). No spaces or special chars. --- ## Docs **Read the full docs page for any resource you use.** Each page has prerequisites, examples, and critical instructions. - [YouTube Data API](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/youtube-data-api): YouTube Data API v3 — search videos, channels, playlists - [Google Weather API](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/google-weather-api): Current conditions, forecasts, history, alerts - [Google Geocoding API](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/google-geocoding-api): Geocode addresses to coordinates and reverse - [Google Generative Language API](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/google-generative-language-api): Gemini — generate content, list models - [Parallel API](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/parallel-api): Web search and URL-to-markdown extract - [Resend API](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/resend-api): Send email (POST /emails only) - [PostgreSQL](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/postgres): Per-tenant schema, SQL over HTTP + TCP - [Redis](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/redis): Key-value store, expiry, counters, sorted sets over HTTP - [Object Storage](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/object-storage): Per-tenant GCS namespace, GET/PUT/DELETE by path - [Vercel Hosting](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/vercel-hosting): Push-to-deploy via GitHub + Vercel auto-build - [Cloudflare Workers](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/cloudflare-workers): Serverless JS/TS, instant deploy, cron triggers - [Social Login](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/social-login): Zero-setup Google OAuth login - [Realtime](https://cohesivity.xyz/offerings/realtime): Channels, presence, persistence; publish/subscribe over WS or HTTP --- ## Feedback After completing your task, submit feedback about your experience with Cohesivity. - `GET /api/feedback` — returns the feedback prompt and instructions - `POST /api/feedback` with `{"feedback": "your answers"}` — submits feedback Auth: `Authorization: Bearer `.
