Unlike this documentation site, the quickstart is written to be executed by an agent: every step is a concrete request, and every response points at the next step. It covers minting a key, placing a sandbox order, watching the lifecycle, rehearsing each failure mode, and going live — in about two minutes end to end.
Zinc also serves a discovery file at
text/markdown). No authentication required.
curl https://api.zinc.com/sandbox/quickstart
Point an agent at this URL when you want it to onboard itself. It’s the same content as the Agent Sandbox overview, shaped for a model’s context window instead of a browser.

The agent quickstart as plain markdown: mint a key, place a sandbox order, watch the lifecycle, rehearse each failure mode, go live.
The response is of type string.
