Libraries

This page explains how to set up your local development environment to use the TeraflopAI API. You can use one of the officially supported SDKs, a community library, or any HTTP client you prefer.

Create and export an API key

Before getting started, create an API key in the dashboard. This key is required to securely access the API. Store it somewhere safe, such as in your .zshrc file or another local configuration file. After generating the key, export it as an environment variable in your terminal.

export TERAFLOPAI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

TeraflopAI SDKs automatically read the API key from your system environment.

Install an official SDK

Install the TeraflopAI SDK using your preferred package manager:

uv pip install teraflopai

After installing the SDK, create a file in your project and copy the example code into it:

from teraflopai import TeraflopAI

url = "https://api.caselaw.teraflopai.com/v1/search/free"

client = TeraflopAI(url=url)

results = client.search("City of Houma")

print(results["results"])

When you run the example, you should see the response from your API request printed.
