Quickstart

This quickstart takes you from zero to your first response from the Kyara Intelligence API. By the end you’ll have a working API key, a model, and a successful chat completions call, all in under a minute.

Create an API key

Open the Kyara dashboard and create a new API key. The key is shown only once, so copy it immediately and store it somewhere safe.Set it as an environment variable so you never have to hard-code it:

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

Choose a model

Browse the model catalog and copy the ID of the model you want to use. This guide uses deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash as a fast, low-cost default. Swap in any other model ID whenever you like.

Send a request

Point your client at the Kyara base URL (https://api.kyara-intelligence.com/v1) and call the chat completions endpoint. If you’re using the JavaScript or Python OpenAI SDK, install it first:

JavaScript: npm install openai
Python: pip install openai

Then send your first request:

curl https://api.kyara-intelligence.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KYARA_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Hello!" }
    ]
  }'

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.kyara-intelligence.com/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.KYARA_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY,
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello!" }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.kyara-intelligence.com/v1",
    api_key=os.environ.get("KYARA_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY"),
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Any OpenAI-compatible SDK works with the same base URL, not just the official openai package. If your tool lets you set a base URL, Kyara works with it.
