## Prerequisites

**Python 3 with requests library:**

export TESSIE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:TESSIE_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"

# Windows (cmd)
set TESSIE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
```

For persistent storage, add to your shell profile (.bashrc, .zshrc, PowerShell profile, etc.).
