Quickstart

Get from zero to a streamed completion in under five minutes.

1. Install the SDK

pip install volt

npm install @thevoltcloud/sdk

go get github.com/thevoltcloud/sdk-go

TypeScript and Go SDKs are rolling out. Python is available today; until the others land you can call the REST API directly.

2. Get an API key

Create one in the console or with voltctl:

voltctl key issue --org <your-org-id> --name "laptop"

Keys look like volt_sk_live_.... Store it in your environment:

export VOLT_API_KEY=volt_sk_live_...

3. First request

from volt import Volt

client = Volt()  # reads VOLT_API_KEY
resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="llama-3.3-70b-instruct",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello from my metro."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)
print("served by", resp.volt.pod_id, "in", resp.volt.metro)
