# First Request

> Step-by-step guide to making your first API request.

## Step 1: Get your API key

1. Go to [platform.atlasflux.my](https://platform.atlasflux.my)
2. Sign in with your developer account
3. Navigate to **API Keys**
4. Click **Create API key**
5. Choose **Development** environment
6. Copy the key and save it securely

## Step 2: Set up your environment

```bash theme={null}
export ATLASFLUX_API_KEY="af_test_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
```

## Step 3: Send a request

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST https://api.atlasflux.my/v1/responses \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASFLUX_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"input": "Hello, what can you do?"}'
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  const res = await fetch("https://api.atlasflux.my/v1/responses", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ATLASFLUX_API_KEY}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ input: "Hello, what can you do?" }),
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  console.log(data.output_text);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests, os
  r = requests.post(
      "https://api.atlasflux.my/v1/responses",
      headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['ATLASFLUX_API_KEY']}"},
      json={"input": "Hello, what can you do?"},
  )
  print(r.json()["output_text"])
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Step 4: Check the response

```json theme={null}
{
  "output_text": "I'm AtlasFlux Nenas Flash, an AI assistant...",
  "usage": {
    "input_tokens": 8,
    "output_tokens": 24,
    "cost_myr": "0.00"
  }
