Get Your API Key

Before you can use the Sqwish API, you’ll need to get an API key.

​
API Key Management

Once you have your API key, you can manage it through your dashboard:
  • View usage: Monitor your API calls and token usage
  • Regenerate keys: Create new keys if needed
  • Set limits: Configure rate limits and usage alerts

​
Installation

Below are the instructions to install and initialize the Sqwish client library in your preferred language: 
pip install sqwishai

# Then set your API key as an environment variable or in your code:
# import os
# os.environ["SQWISH_API_KEY"] = "YOUR_API_KEY"

​
Environment Variables

Set your API key as an environment variable:

​
Linux/macOS

export SQWISH_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

​
Windows

set SQWISH_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

​
Using .env file

Create a .env file in your project root: 
SQWISH_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
Then load it in your application: 
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()  # Load environment variables from .env file
api_key = os.getenv("SQWISH_API_KEY")
