Quick Start Guide

This guide will help you get up and running with our AI API in just a few minutes. Follow these simple steps to make your first API call.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, you'll need:

  • An account on our platform
  • Developer mode activated
  • API key (found in your account dashboard)
  • API credits (purchased through your account)

Step 1: Authentication​

All API requests require authentication using your API key. Include it in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Step 2: Make Your First API Call​

Let's make a simple text completion request:

curl -X POST https://api.graphine.ai/api/v1/completions/text \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Write a hello world message."
  }'

Step 3: Understand the Response​

You'll receive a JSON response like this:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "text": "Hello, world! Welcome to our AI API. This is a simple demonstration of the text completion capability. You can use this API to generate various types of content based on your prompts.",
    "metadata": {
      "conversation_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
      "model": "default-model",
      "prompt_tokens": 5,
      "completion_tokens": 32,
      "total_tokens": 37,
      "completion_time": 0.75
    }
  }
}

Step 4: Try a Chat Completion​

Chat completions are perfect for conversational applications:

curl -X POST https://api.graphine.ai/api/v1/completions/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
      },
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What can I do with this API?"
      }
    ]
  }'
