# Guides

Each guide walks through one task end to end: the requests to send, what comes back, and the scopes your credential needs. They use `curl` and an API key in `ARBOL_API_KEY`; see [Authentication](/en/developers/authentication/) to get one.

| Guide | What you do |
|---|---|
| [Create an agent](/en/developers/guides/create-an-agent/) | Create a Raíz agent, read it back, change it safely and put it on a channel. |
| [Book an appointment](/en/developers/guides/book-an-appointment/) | Find a patient, check what the appointment requires, find a free slot and book it with Agenda. |
| [Handle errors and retries](/en/developers/guides/handle-errors-and-retries/) | Tell a request to fix from one to repeat, retry safely, and resolve a version conflict. |

For every operation's full request and response, see the API reference: each service has its own, such as [Raíz](/api/raiz/).
