Quickstart

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or later (or equivalent environment for Python/etc)
• An InferHood account
• An InferHood API Key (generate one in your dashboard)

Step 1: Install the SDK

The official @inferhood/sdk package is the quickest way in - no base URL to configure.

npm install @inferhood/sdk

InferHood is also fully OpenAI-compatible, so the official OpenAI SDK works if you would rather keep an existing client. See SDKs for that setup.

Step 2: Make your first request

Create a client with your API key and specify the model you want to use.

import { InferHood } from '@inferhood/sdk';

const client = new InferHood({
  apiKey: process.env.INFERHOOD_API_KEY!,
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4',
  messages: [
    { role: 'user', content: 'What is InferHood?' }
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

Step 3: Try the Playground
