Quick Start

This guide will get you up and running with CamelStep in minutes. We provide two main ways to interact with the API: using the standard OpenAI Python SDK (recommended) or making direct REST API calls.

Prerequisites

A CamelStep account
An API Key from your Dashboard

Choose your interface

Making a Request

You can interact with CamelStep using any HTTP client. Here is a standard cURL example.

Bash

curl https://api.camelstep.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <CAMELSTEP_API_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "google/gemini-3-flash-preview",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "What is the capital of France?"}
    ]
  }'

Note: Ensure you replace <CAMELSTEP_API_KEY> with your actual API key.
