# Quickstart

> Make your first API request in minutes

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need an API key.

1. Log in to your [Apollo AI Dashboard](https://apolloai.lol/dashboard).
2. Navigate to **Settings** > **API Keys**.
3. Click **Create New Key**.
4. Copy your key (it will start with `sk-...`).

## Your First Request

Let's generate a simple text completion using the `gpt-oss-120b` model.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Curl theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://apolloai.lol/v1/generation/prompt" \
    -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "prompt": "Explain quantum computing in one sentence.",
      "model": "gpt-oss-120b"
    }'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  url = "https://apolloai.lol/v1/generation/prompt"
  headers = {
      "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
  }
  data = {
      "prompt": "Explain quantum computing in one sentence.",
      "model": "gpt-oss-120b"
  }

  response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
  print(response.text)
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  const url = "https://apolloai.lol/v1/generation/prompt";
  const headers = {
    "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  };
  const body = JSON.stringify({
    prompt: "Explain quantum computing in one sentence.",
    model: "gpt-oss-120b"
  });

  fetch(url, { method: "POST", headers, body })
    .then(resp => resp.text())
    .then(console.log);
  ```
</CodeGroup>
