## Questions

### Do I need an account with VIES?

No. Agentik holds the connection to VIES. Your agent calls it with your Agentik key, and each call is paid from your balance at VIES's price.

### Is the data the same as the direct API?

Yes. Each tool is one VIES endpoint with its real inputs. Agentik adds the price check, the balance and the receipt.
