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 ohsee3. 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
