Get started using the Infercom API in just a few minutes.
1

Get your API key.

To generate an API key, go to the API keys and URLs page. When generating API keys, be sure to save them securely, as they can’t be viewed again.
You can generate and use up to 25 API keys.
2

Pick a model.

View the available models and details on the Infercom Inference Service models page.
We’ll use MiniMax-M2.5 as an example for the remainder of this guide.
3

Make an API request.

You can make an inference request in multiple ways. See two examples below:
  • SambaNova SDK - Use Javascript or Python for a more flexible integration.
  • OpenAI client library – Use Javascript or Python for a more flexible integration.
  • CURL command – Send a request directly from the command line.

​
SambaNova SDK

To get started, choose your preferred programming language. Next, open a terminal and run the command to install the SambaNova SDK. 
//ensure you have Node.js installed.
npm install sambanova
Next, copy the following code into a new file. 
import SambaNova from "sambanova";

const client = new SambaNova({
  baseURL: "https://api.infercom.ai/v1",
  apiKey: "your-infercom-api-key",
});

const chatCompletion = await client.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [
    { role: "system", content: "Answer the question in a couple sentences." },
    { role: "user", content: "Share a happy story with me" },
  ],
  model: "MiniMax-M2.5",
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
After copying the code into the file, replace the placeholder "your-infercom-api-key" with your actual API key. Then, run the file in a terminal using the command shown below. 
node hello-world.js
After running the program, you should see output similar to the example shown below. 
Here’s a happy story: One day, a little girl named Sophie found a lost puppy in her neighborhood and decided to take it home to care for it. As she nursed the puppy back to health, she named it Max and the two became inseparable best friends, going on adventures and playing together every day.

​
OpenAI client library

To get started, select your preferred programming language. Then, open a terminal window and run the command to install the OpenAI library. 
//ensure you have Node.js installed.
npm install openai
Next, copy the following code into a new file. 
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.infercom.ai/v1",
  apiKey: "your-infercom-api-key",
});

const chatCompletion = await client.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [
    { role: "system", content: "Answer the question in a couple sentences." },
    { role: "user", content: "Share a happy story with me" },
  ],
  model: "MiniMax-M2.5",
});

console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
Once copied into the file, replace the placeholder "your-infercom-api-key" with your API key. Then run the file with the command below in a terminal window. 
node hello-world.js
After you run the program, you should now see an output like similar to the one below. 
Here’s a happy story: One day, a little girl named Sophie found a lost puppy in her neighborhood and decided to take it home to care for it. As she nursed the puppy back to health, she named it Max and the two became inseparable best friends, going on adventures and playing together every day.

​
CURL command

In a terminal window, run the CURL command to make your first request to the API. 
export API_KEY="your-infercom-api-key"
export URL="https://api.infercom.ai/v1/chat/completions"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": "Answer the question in a couple sentences."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Share a happy story with me"}
],
"stop": ["<|eot_id|>"],
"model": "MiniMax-M2.5",
"stream": true, "stream_options": {"include_usage": true}
}' \
-X POST $URL
