How do I generate my Guidebook API Key?

Log in to Guidebook Builder, click your profile dropdown in the top right, select 'Manage your account', and then navigate to the 'API Key' section to generate your token.

Can I see the schedules for multiple guides?

Yes! You can use `list_guides` to find the IDs for all your guides, and then use `list_sessions` or `list_schedules` with the specific guide ID to see its agenda.

How many requests can I make to the Guidebook API?

The Guidebook Open API typically has a limit of 10,000 requests per day per account. You can use the `get_rate_limit` tool to check your current usage.

What format should the API Key be in?

The API Key should be the raw JWT token provided by the Guidebook Builder. The integration will automatically handle the 'JWT' prefix for authorization.
