Quick Start
Get from registration to your first API call in three steps — matching the console onboarding flow.
Prerequisites
- A Starrise-api account (click Get Started on the home page)
- An API token (Authentication)
Step 1: Create an Account
- Open the Starrise-api console
- Register with email or supported OAuth (GitHub, Discord, etc.)
- New accounts may receive starter quota (as shown in your account dashboard)
Step 2: Create an API Token
- Open Tokens in the console
- Click Create Token
- Set a name and optional quota, expiration, and other limits
- Submit and Copy the key from the list — format:
sk-...
The full key is shown once. Store it securely.
