# Quick Start
This guide will help you get started with the FastGPT Python SDK in just a few minutes.
## 1. Get Your API Key
You'll need a FastGPT API key to use the SDK. You can obtain one from your FastGPT instance:
1. Log in to your FastGPT instance
2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
3. Create a new API key
4. Copy the key (it will start with `fastgpt-`)
## 2. Basic Chat Completion
The simplest way to use the SDK is with a basic chat completion:
```python
from fastgpt_client import ChatClient
# Initialize the client
with ChatClient(
api_key="fastgpt-xxxxx",
base_url="http://localhost:3000"
) as client:
# Send a message
response = client.create_chat_completion(
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello! What's AI?"}],
stream=False
)
response.raise_for_status()
result = response.json()
# Print the response
print(result['choices'][0]['message']['content'])
```
## 3. Streaming Responses
For real-time responses, use streaming:
```python
import json
with ChatClient(api_key="fastgpt-xxxxx") as client:
response = client.create_chat_completion(
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a short story"}],
stream=True
)
for line in response.iter_lines():
if line.startswith("data:"):
data = line[5:].strip()
if data and data != "[DONE]":
chunk = json.loads(data)
if "choices" in chunk and chunk["choices"]:
delta = chunk["choices"][0].get("delta", {})
content = delta.get("content", "")
if content:
print(content, end="", flush=True)
```
## 4. Using Context (chatId)
To maintain a conversation across multiple requests, use `chatId`:
```python
with ChatClient(api_key="fastgpt-xxxxx") as client:
chat_id = "my_conversation_123"
# First message
response = client.create_chat_completion(
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "What's AI?"}],
chatId=chat_id,
stream=False
)
# Second message (continues the conversation)
response = client.create_chat_completion(
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me more"}],
chatId=chat_id, # Same chatId maintains context
stream=False
)
```
## 5. Using Variables
You can use template variables in your FastGPT workflows:
```python
with ChatClient(api_key="fastgpt-xxxxx") as client:
response = client.create_chat_completion(
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello [name]!"}],
variables={"name": "Alice"}, # Replaces [name] placeholder
stream=False
)
```
## 6. Get Chat Histories
Retrieve your chat histories:
```python
with ChatClient(api_key="fastgpt-xxxxx") as client:
histories = client.get_chat_histories(
appId="your-app-id",
offset=0,
pageSize=20,
source="api"
)
histories.raise_for_status()
data = histories.json()
for chat in data['data']['list']:
print(f"{chat['title']}: {chat['chatId']}")
```
## Environment Variables
For better security, use environment variables for your API key:
```bash
# .env file
API_KEY=fastgpt-xxxxx
BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
```
```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from fastgpt_client import ChatClient
load_dotenv()
with ChatClient(
api_key=os.getenv("API_KEY"),
base_url=os.getenv("BASE_URL")
) as client:
# Your code here
pass
```
