Talkspresso

Manage a Talkspresso business via the REST API using curl and jq.

Setup

The user needs a TALKSPRESSO_API_KEY. If missing:

1. Direct them to https://app.talkspresso.com/settings/api-keys to generate one
2. If they don't have a Talkspresso account, direct them to https://talkspresso.com/signup
3. Set it: export TALKSPRESSO_API_KEY="tsp_..."

If the user is new to Talkspresso, help them set up: profile, timezone, availability, first service.
