## Rules for an agent

- Do not script the website (terms ban bots); use iLoveAPI: get a JWT from https://api.ilovepdf.com/v1/auth with your project public key, then start/upload/process/download a task. Free tier 2,500 credits/month, then paid. Official MIT-licensed SDKs: PHP, .NET, Ruby, Node.js (npm @ilovepdf/ilovepdf-nodejs) and Python (github.com/ilovepdf); no self-hosted version found. Files are deleted 1-2 hours after processing.
- Use the API, not the website, for any automation; the terms forbid bots and inhuman processing rates
- Budget credits per file or page (OCR and AI tools are charged per page) and keep project keys server-side
