Getting Started

Set up your account and make your first API call in under 5 minutes.

1

Create your account

Go to tryflama.com and create a free account. No credit card required.

URL: https://tryflama.com/signup

2

Generate an API token

From your panel, go to the Token section and generate a new key. The key is only shown once — copy it and save it somewhere safe.

URL: https://tryflama.com/token

API keys start with tf_sk_ and are hashed at rest. If you lose your key, you will need to generate a new one.

3

Make your first request

The API is compatible with the OpenAI format. If you already use the OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL and your API key.

cURL

bash
curl https://api.ai.tryflama.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer tf_sk_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "qwen3.8-max",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, world!"}
    ]
  }'

Python

python
import openai

client = openai.OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.ai.tryflama.com/v1",
    api_key="tf_sk_YOUR_KEY"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="qwen3.8-max",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, world!"}
    ]
)

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

TypeScript

typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.ai.tryflama.com/v1",
  apiKey: "tf_sk_YOUR_KEY",
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "qwen3.8-max",
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "Hello, world!" },
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
