## What We Are

CinematicCard turns a personal message into a 60-second cinematic film experience. The recipient receives a link, taps it, and the full experience plays in their browser — animated calligraphy, real fireworks, background music, photo slideshows, and a personal message revealed word by word. No app, no account, no subscription. The link never expires.

## Transacting Programmatically

All agent transactions go through the REST API. No scraping, no browser automation required.

### Endpoints

| Method | Path | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| GET | /health | Server health check |
| GET | /manifest | Full discovery document |
| GET | /openapi.json | OpenAPI 3.1 specification |

### Recommended Flow

1. `GET /themes` — pick a theme matching the occasion and recipient
2. `POST /quote` — lock in price, get quoteId
3. `POST /checkout` — create order. Returns `checkoutUrl` (Stripe hosted) or order confirmation (payment_method flow)
4. `GET /order/{orderId}` — poll until status is `delivered`

### Payment Methods

- `hosted_checkout` — Stripe Checkout URL. Agent hands URL to user. Works with every agent on day one. Webhook fires on payment completion.
- `payment_method` — Agent passes Stripe `pm_xxx` token. Confirmed server-side. Immediate response.
- `ucp` — Google Universal Commerce Protocol stub.

### Authentication

- **No auth required** for GET endpoints.
- **X-Agent-Key** header for POST endpoints: higher rate limits, whitelisted from review queue.
- Request a key: partnerships@cinematiccard.com

### Idempotency

Pass `Idempotency-Key` header or `agent.orderReference` body field. Duplicate requests with same key return the original response unchanged for 24 hours.
