Quickstart

Get started#

1. 1

   Create an account and grab an API key

   Sign up at tapotik.ai/signup — the Starter plan includes 1,000 free credits, no card required. Then create a key in Dashboard → API keys. Keys look like tp_live_a1b2c3… and are shown once, so store yours in a secret manager.

   TAPOTIK_API_KEY=tp_live_a1b2c3d4e5f6...

2. 2

   Install the SDK

   Typed SDKs are available for TypeScript, Python and Go. The raw REST API works with any HTTP client if you prefer.

   npm install @tapotik/sdk
   # or: pip install tapotik / go get github.com/tapotik/tapotik-go

3. 3

   Make your first request

   Send a chat completion. The same request shape works for every model on the platform.

   curl https://api.tapotik.ai/v1/chat/completions \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TAPOTIK_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "model": "tapotik-2-pro",
       "messages": [
         { "role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about latency." }
       ]
     }'

   import Tapotik from "@tapotik/sdk";
   
   const client = new Tapotik({ apiKey: process.env.TAPOTIK_API_KEY });
   
   const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
     model: "tapotik-2-pro",
     messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a haiku about latency." }],
   });
   
   console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);

4. 4

   Stream the response

   Pass stream: true to receive server-sent events as tokens are generated — first tokens typically arrive in under 100ms.

   const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
     model: "tapotik-2-pro",
     messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Explain vector search simply." }],
     stream: true,
   });
   
   for await (const chunk of stream) {
     process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content ?? "");
   }

Where to go next#

Explore the Chat API for tools and structured output, generate visuals with the Image API, or wire up webhooksto react to async jobs. When you're ready for production, review rate limits and error handling.
