 This quick start guide walks you through making your first API call, authenticating requests, and understanding response formats.

## Step 1: Get Your API Key

Sign in to the Developer Portal and navigate to the API Keys section in your dashboard. Click "Create New Key" and give it a descriptive name like "Development Key".

## Step 2: Install the SDK

We provide official SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, and PHP. Install via your package manager:

npm install @connectbase/sdk\\npip install connectbase-sdk

## Step 3: Make Your First Request

Use the following code to test your API key:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR\_API\_KEY" \\\\n <https://api.connectbase.com/v2/health>

## Step 4: Explore Endpoints

Browse our [API Reference](/docs) for the full list of available endpoints, or try the [interactive API explorer](/api-discovery).

## What is Next

Now that you have made your first request, explore the [Authentication guide](/docs) for production-ready security or jump into the [integration tutorials](/guides).
