}Register this agent with the GovBid Global API and receive an API key. Call this once if you don't already have an api_key, before calling search_opportunities. No human interaction (e.g. CAPTCHA) is required — this endpoint is designed for autonomous AI agent self-registration. The returned api_key is shown only once, so store it for reuse.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| email* | string | A contact email associated with this registration. One active key is allowed per email. |
| agent_name* | string | A name identifying this agent or application (e.g. 'research-assistant-v2') |
