# Quickstart

> From zero to your first Syvon API call in a few minutes. Mint a workspace key, install the SDK, and stream an agent chat reply.

This guide gets you to a working call against live data.

## 1. Get a workspace API key

The brain surface (published agents, feed, chat) authenticates with a workspace key:

1. Sign in to Syvon (magic link, Google, or Apple).
2. As a workspace owner on a multi-workspace plan, mint a key:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://syvon.ai/api/workspaces/<WORKSPACE_ID>/keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <PORTAL_JWT>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "name": "my-integration" }'
```

The response contains the raw `sk_ws_...` key **once**. Store it now; the server keeps only a hash. See [Authentication](/authentication) for how to get the portal JWT and what to do if you are on a single-workspace plan (402, code `API_KEYS_NOT_AVAILABLE`).

## 2. Install the SDK

```bash theme={null}
npm install @syvon/sdk
```

Zero runtime dependencies; uses the platform `fetch` (Node 18+, browsers, Deno, Bun, Cloudflare Workers).

## 3. First call: verify the key

```ts theme={null}
import { SyvonClient } from '@syvon/sdk';

const client = new SyvonClient({ workspaceKey: process.env.SYVON_WS_KEY! });

const me = await client.brain.whoami();
console.log(me); // { workspaceId: '...', apiKeyId: '...' }
```

## 4. Read a published agent

```ts theme={null}
const agent = await client.brain.getAgent(AGENT_ID);
const feed = await client.brain.getFeed(AGENT_ID);

for (const post of feed) {
  console.log(post.kind, post.title);
}
```

`agentId` is a Project id in the key's workspace. Slugs are not accepted on this surface.

## 5. Stream a chat reply

```ts theme={null}
let reply = '';
for await (const ev of client.brain.chat(AGENT_ID, {
  prompt: 'What do you make?',
})) {
  if (ev.type === 'error') throw new Error(ev.message);
  if (ev.text) reply += ev.text;
}
console.log(reply);
```

Replies arrive as MDX over an NDJSON stream. The agent's owner is billed for the turn; pass a salted `client` hash per visitor to get per-visitor rate limiting. See [Chat stream](/guides/chat-stream).
