Each account or team has one unscoped API key, no changelog or deprecation notices were found, the SDK repositories date from September 2023, and two documentation pages name different regional hostnames.\n\n**Templated API + MCP.** MIT-licensed MCP server with 25 tools, every one annotated with readOnlyHint and destructiveHint. One API key with full account access, and the MCP docs offer it as ?apiKey= in the URL.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### APITemplate.io\n\n1. Send the key in the `X-API-KEY` header and pick the regional host first, because requests and output are processed and stored in that region\n2. Call `GET /v2/list-templates` with `with_layer_info=1` before `POST /v2/create-image`, so the `name` values in `overrides` match the template's elements\n3. Set `meta` to your own reference on each generation and check `GET /v2/list-objects` before retrying, since there is no idempotency key\n4. Set `expiration` in minutes (1 to 10080) or `export_type=file` for sensitive output. By default the download URL does not expire\n5. For `async=1` you must pass `webhook_url`. The callback is a GET with the result in the query string, retried three times\n6. On HTTP 429 pause and retry on your own schedule. The docs give no `Retry-After` header or backoff interval\n\n### Templated API + MCP\n\n1. Call get_template_layers before create_render so the keys in `layers` match the template\n2. Set async true with a webhook_url for MP4, zip or batch renders, since zip without a webhook returns 400\n3. Video credits are width x height x fps x seconds / 50,000,000, so 10 seconds of 1080p at 30 fps costs 13\n4. Pass folderId or externalId on the MCP URL when one server serves several customers\n5. Back off on your own schedule after a 429, since the docs give no retry guidance\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, APITemplate.io or Templated API + MCP?\n\nTemplated API + MCP scores 61.2 (C) on agent readiness against APITemplate.io's 46.6 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. APITemplate.io leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do APITemplate.io and Templated API + MCP need an API key?\n\nAPITemplate.io needs an API key. Templated API + MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call APITemplate.io and Templated API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. APITemplate.io has a hosted endpoint at https://rest.apitemplate.io/v2 and Templated API + MCP at https://api.templated.io/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apitemplate-io-vs-templated.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apitemplate-io-vs-templated.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"apitemplate-io\", \"b\": \"templated\"}`.
