Quickstart

Make your first API call to confirm that authentication works. It takes about a minute.

Issue an API key

Issue an organization API key in the Chainshift console.

Send your first request

Retrieve the list of AI models you can collect answers from.

curl -H "API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://platform-api.trychainshift.ai/api/v1/platform/models"

Check the response

If you get a list of supported models like the one below, the connection succeeded. These model values are used as-is in run requests. The list depends on your organization’s grants. PERPLEXITY and CLAUDE appear only for organizations with a separate agreement.

{
  "models": [
    { "code": "CHATGPT", "name": "ChatGPT" },
    { "code": "GOOGLE_OVERVIEW", "name": "Google Overview" },
    { "code": "GOOGLE_AI", "name": "Google AI Mode" },
    { "code": "PERPLEXITY", "name": "Perplexity" },
    { "code": "GEMINI", "name": "Gemini" },
    { "code": "CLAUDE", "name": "Claude" },
    { "code": "NAVER_AI_BRIEFING", "name": "Naver AI Briefing" },
    { "code": "NAVER_AI_TAB", "name": "Naver AI Tab" }
  ]
}

If you get a 401 response, check the key value in the API-Key header. For key management, see API key.
