# Quickstart

> Get your API Key, replace Base URL, and make your first request.

## Step 1: Obtain the API Key

1. Log in to the [API Console for Overseas Operations](https://aiid.edu.kg/console)
2. Go to the token page and create a API Key
3. Then use it via `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`

## Step 2: Configure Base URL

```bash theme={null}
API_BASE_URL="https://api.aiid.edu.kg"
```

If the existing client default is set to:

* `https://api.openai.com`
* `https://api.openai.com/v1`

Then replace them with:

* `https://api.aiid.edu.kg`
* `https://api.aiid.edu.kg`

## Step 3: Send your first request

### Python

```python theme={null}
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.aiid.edu.kg",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, what can you do?"}],
)

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

### cURL

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.aiid.edu.kg/v1/chat/completions   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"   -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello world!"}]
  }'
```

## Integration Recommendations

* For new projects, start with the OpenAI compatible API first
* For image editing, be sure to pay attention to `multipart/form-data` and the file field requirements
* For the video task API, save `task_id` or `operation_name` first before querying
* If debugging fails, first check the HTTP status code, `error.code`, and `error.message`

* AI-generated calling code: see `en/ai-codegen`
* Model groups and capabilities: see `en/models`
