Quick Setup - Tav-AI Documentation

Step 1: Create Your Account

First, you'll need to create a Tav-AI account to access the API and manage your usage.

Visit the Tav-AI Dashboard
Login with your Discord Account
Authorize Discord Login

Step 2: Generate Your API Key

Once you have an account, you'll need to generate an API key to authenticate your requests.

Log in to your dashboard
Navigate to the "API Keys" section
Click "Create New Key"
Customize your key as you see fit
Copy and securely store your API key

⚠️ Important Security Note

Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. Treat it like a password. If you suspect your key has been compromised, revoke it immediately and generate a new one.

Step 3: Make Your First Request

Now you're ready to make your first API call. Here are examples in different programming languages:

cURL Example

curl -X POST "https://api.tav-ai.com/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello, how are you?"
      }
    ],
    "max_tokens": 100
  }'

Python Example

import requests
import json

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
url = "https://api.tav-ai.com/v1/chat/completions"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

data = {
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
    "messages": [
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hello, how are you?"
        }
    ],
    "max_tokens": 100
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
result = response.json()
print(result["choices"][0]["message"]["content"])

JavaScript (Node.js) Example

const axios = require('axios');

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const url = 'https://api.tav-ai.com/v1/chat/completions';

const headers = {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};

const data = {
    model: 'gpt-4o-mini',
    messages: [
        {
            role: 'user',
            content: 'Hello, how are you?'
        }
    ],
    max_tokens: 100
};

axios.post(url, data, { headers })
    .then(response => {
        console.log(response.data.choices[0].message.content);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        console.error('Error:', error.response.data);
    });

Step 4: Using OpenAI SDK

Tav-AI is compatible with the OpenAI SDK. Simply change the base URL to use our API:

Python with OpenAI SDK

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.tav-ai.com/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hello, how are you?"
        }
    ],
    max_tokens=100
)

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

JavaScript with OpenAI SDK

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
    apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    baseURL: 'https://api.tav-ai.com/v1'
});

const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'gpt-4o-mini',
    messages: [
        {
            role: 'user',
            content: 'Hello, how are you?'
        }
    ],
    max_tokens: 100
});

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

Environment Variables

For security best practices, store your API key as an environment variable:

.env file

TAV_AI_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here

Python with environment variable

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.getenv("TAV_AI_API_KEY"),
    base_url="https://api.tav-ai.com/v1"
)
