Call `get-form-schema` before `request-human-review-with-form`, since the field data must match the review type\n2. Send `agentId` on every API request, because the API reference marks it required even though the JS SDK doesn't\n3. Pass a `webhookUrl` per request when the review type has no default, or the answer has nowhere to go\n4. Deduplicate webhook calls on the `Idempotency-Key` header, since delivery is at least once\n5. Set your own deadline on the agent side and treat silence as a rejection\n\n### withHuman\n\n1. Send an `Idempotency-Key` header on `POST /api/aap/v1/requests`. The call answers 400 without one\n2. Read the decision with `GET /api/aap/v1/requests/{id}?wait=30s` and repeat while `status` is `pending`. `wait` is capped at 30 seconds\n3. Set `timeout` between one second and seven days, and treat `expired` and `cancelled` as a refusal\n4. Start an approved call within five minutes of `decided_at`, because the decision carries an `expires_at`\n5. Cancel a request when you stop waiting, so reviewers stop seeing it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, gotoHuman or withHuman?\n\nwithHuman scores 51.8 (D) on agent readiness against gotoHuman's 43.6 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. gotoHuman leads on maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do gotoHuman and withHuman need an API key?\n\ngotoHuman needs an API key. withHuman takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call gotoHuman and withHuman without installing anything?\n\nYes. gotoHuman has a hosted endpoint at https://api.gotohuman.com and withHuman at https://app.withhuman.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gotohuman-vs-withhuman.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gotohuman-vs-withhuman.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"gotohuman\", \"b\": \"withhuman\"}`.
