Step-by-Step Instructions :digit\_one: **Setup You Can’t Skip** :black\_small\_square: [**Create an Account**](https://aimlapi.com/app/sign-up): Visit the AI/ML API website and create an account (if you don’t have one yet). \ :black\_small\_square: [**Generate an API Key**](https://aimlapi.com/app/keys): After logging in, navigate to your account dashboard and generate your API key. Ensure the key is enabled on the UI. :digit\_two: **Copy the code example** At the bottom of this page, you'll find a code example that shows how to structure the request. Choose the code snippet in your preferred programming language and copy it into your development environment. :digit\_three: **Modify the code example** :black\_small\_square: Replace `` with your actual AI/ML API key. \ :black\_small\_square: Adjust the input field used by this model (for example, prompt, input text, instructions, media source, or other model-specific input) to match your request. :digit\_four: **(Optional)** **Adjust other optional parameters if needed** Only the required parameters shown in the example are needed to run the request, but you can include optional parameters to fine-tune behavior. Below, you can find the corresponding **API schema**, which lists all available parameters and usage notes. :digit\_five: **Run your modified code** Run your modified code inside your development environment. Response time depends on many factors, but for simple requests it rarely exceeds a few seconds. {% hint style="success" %} If you need a more detailed walkthrough for setting up your development environment and making a request step-by-step, feel free to use our [**Quickstart guide.**](https://docs.aimlapi.com/quickstart/setting-up) {% endhint %}
