# Infercom Quickstart Guide for Developers
> Make your first Infercom API call in minutes. Get an API key, pick a model, and run inference with Python, JavaScript, or cURL.
Get started using the Infercom API in just a few minutes.
To generate an API key, go to the [API keys and URLs](/en/get-started/api-keys-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.
View the available models and details on the [Infercom Inference Service models](/en/models/infercomcloud-models) page.
We’ll use `MiniMax-M2.7` as an example for the remainder of this guide.
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.
```javascript Javascript theme={null}
//ensure you have Node.js installed.
npm install sambanova
```
```python Python theme={null}
# make sure you have Python3 and pip installed
pip install sambanova
```
Next, copy the following code into a new file.
```javascript hello-world.js theme={null}
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-M2.7",
});
console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
```
```python hello_world.py theme={null}
from sambanova import SambaNova
client = SambaNova(
base_url="https://api.infercom.ai/v1",
api_key="your-infercom-api-key"
)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model="MiniMax-M2.7",
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "Answer the question in a couple sentences."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Share a happy story with me"}
]
)
print(completion.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.
```javascript Javascript theme={null}
node hello-world.js
```
```python Python theme={null}
python hello_world.py
```
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.
```javascript Javascript theme={null}
//ensure you have Node.js installed.
npm install openai
```
```python Python theme={null}
# make sure you have Python3 and pip installed
pip install openai
```
Next, copy the following code into a new file.
```javascript hello-world.js theme={null}
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-M2.7",
});
console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
```
```python hello_world.py theme={null}
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.infercom.ai/v1",
api_key="your-infercom-api-key"
)
completion = client.chat.completions.create(
model="MiniMax-M2.7",
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "Answer the question in a couple sentences."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Share a happy story with me"}
]
)
print(completion.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.
```javascript Javascript theme={null}
node hello-world.js
```
```python Python theme={null}
python hello_world.py
```
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.
```sh theme={null}
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-M2.7",
"stream": true, "stream_options": {"include_usage": true}
}' \
-X POST $URL
```
## Next Steps
Now that you can make requests to a model, great potential of building AI-powered applications await. Get inspired of what to build by exploring our [AI Starter Kits](/en/build/ai-starter-kits), a collection of open-source Python projects.
