Getting Started
1. Visit our sign-up page.
2. Fill out the registration form with your name, email, and password.
3. Verify your email address by clicking on the link sent to your inbox.
4. Log in to your new account.
Making API Calls
Each API endpoint has a specific URL and accepts certain parameters. Here is a general structure for making an API call:
1. Choose the endpoint you want to call (e.g., /v1/analyze, /v1/generate).
2. Include any required parameters in the query string or request body.
3. Set the appropriate HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
4. Log in to your new account.
const handleAnalyze = async () => {
setLoading(true);
setError(null);
const endpoint = '/v1/analyze';
const method = 'POST';
const headers = {
Authorization: 'Bearer your_access_token',
};
const body = {
data: 'Example data to analyze',
};
try {
const response = await callApi(endpoint, method, headers, body);
setResult(response);
} catch (err) {
setError(err.message);
} finally {
setLoading(false);
}
};
Handling Responses
API responses are returned in JSON format. A typical response includes a status code, message, and data.
Best Practices
Secure your API key: Never expose your API key in client-side code. Handle rate limiting: Be mindful of the rate limits for your API calls. Implement retry logic with exponential back off. Validate inputs: Always validate and sanitize inputs before making API calls to prevent injection attacks.
