## Structured API

- Supplier search: `GET https://solarpanelinstallers.co.za/api/v1/suppliers/`
- Filter by service and city: `GET https://solarpanelinstallers.co.za/api/v1/suppliers/?service_code=residential_solar&city=Cape%20Town`
- OpenAPI schema: `GET https://solarpanelinstallers.co.za/api/schema/`
- Agent RFQ workflow: create a draft with `POST /api/v1/rfqs/`, then evaluate suppliers with `POST /api/v1/rfqs/{id}/match/`.
- Draft creation is accountless and requires a unique `Idempotency-Key` header. The response returns a short-lived `access_token`; send it as `X-RFQ-Token` when matching or checking status.
- Matching sends one private approval email to the buyer. The agent never receives the approval link and cannot distribute an RFQ.
- The buyer selects suppliers and explicitly authorizes each category of shared data from the emailed link. No directory account is required.
