# Air API

> Quickly integrate and test AI models through APIs

Air API is an API-based workload that lets you quickly integrate AI models by selecting a supported model within your Project and generating a secret key. You can immediately test your integration using code samples or the Playground, without managing any infrastructure. It is ideal for rapid prototyping, proof-of-concept (PoC) projects, and applications that require fast model integration.

## Quickstart

### 1. Select Air API from the Project Overview

After creating your Organization and Project, navigate to the Project Overview page and select **Air API**.

### 2. Select a Model

Create an API workload and select the model you want to use. If the model you need is not available, you can submit a request through our feedback channel.

### 3. Generate a Secret Key

Go to **API Keys** → **Create New Secret Key**.

<Warning>
  A secret key is displayed only once after it is created. Be sure to copy and store it in a secure location.
</Warning>

### 4. Test with a Code Sample

After generating your secret key, open the desired model card and click <Icon icon="code" /> **View Code** in the upper-right corner. Replace `your-api-key` with your secret key and run the sample to verify your connection.

### 5. Test in Playground

Open the Playground to interact with the model directly from the web interface. When you need dedicated resources, lower latency, or specific GPU configurations, you can seamlessly migrate the same workload to Air Container.
