Quickstart: Connect to Earbowe API

This guide gets you from zero to a working API call in under 5 minutes.

1. Get an API key

Open the Earbowe Console, sign in, and create an API key. It starts with sk-.

2. Set the base URL

Always include /v1 — it’s required for OpenAI-compatible clients.

3. Test with curl

curl https://api.earbowe.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-YOUR-KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

4. List available models

curl https://api.earbowe.com/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-YOUR-KEY"

5. Use with any OpenAI SDK

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="sk-YOUR-KEY",
    base_url="https://api.earbowe.com/v1",
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
