## FAQ

### How do I call the AWS DataSync API?
Create a free Apizie key, then send POST https://zieapi.vercel.app/v1/cloud:amazonaws-datasync/add-storage-system with the header x-api-key. Every endpoint returns { project, data, timestamp }.

### Is the AWS DataSync API free on Apizie?
Yes. The Free plan includes 1,000 requests a month at 100 requests a minute, no credit card. AWS DataSync itself also needs your own key from amazonaws.com.

### Can AI agents use the AWS DataSync API?
Yes. Add the Apizie MCP server (https://zieapi.vercel.app/mcp) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code, then ask in plain language. The agent calls run_scraper with project key cloud:amazonaws-datasync.

### What is the status of the AWS DataSync API?
Needs your own provider key (bring your own key)
