Getting started

Quickstart

Go from zero to your first ranked, cited web results in three steps.

1. Get an API key

Create a free account, open the dashboard, and generate an API key under API Keys. New accounts start with 100 free credits. Copy the key when it is shown, it is only displayed once.

Store the key in an environment variable like OHSEE_API_KEY rather than hard-coding it.

2. Install an SDK

Use an official SDK, or call the API directly with any HTTP client.

install
# JavaScript / TypeScript
npm install @ohsee/sdk

# Python
pip install ohsee

3. Make a request

Run a search. The response includes ranked results and an optional cited answer.

Request
curl https://api.ohsee.tech/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ohsee-<your-key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "how does the model context protocol handle auth?",
    "search_depth": "advanced",
    "max_results": 5,
    "include_answer": true
  }'
