Quickstart
Follow these steps to create your API app and generate a Writer API key, allowing you to authenticate requests to your app’s API.
Start building your app
Step 1
From the Home screen, click on Build an app. 
Step 2
Select API as the app type you’d like to create, enabling you to
generate keys and build your app with API calls. 
Step 3
Provide a short description of your app in the specified field to give
an overview of its purpose or functionality. 
Step 4
An app ID (e.g., ek_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx) is automatically
assigned to your app. This unique ID identifies your app within the system.
Generate a new API key
Step 1
Within the API Key section, click the Generate a new key option.
Step 2
You’ll need to name your API key before you can generate it. Fill in the key
name field with a descriptive name for your key. 
Step 3
Click Generate after naming your key to create it. 
Step 4
Upon generating the key, a credential (API key) will be displayed. 
With your API key generated and your app’s capabilities configured, your app is ready for use. The API key enables authentication to the Writer API.
Configuring capabilities
Your API app includes various capabilities like list models, text generation, chat completion, etc. Explore each capability and configure them for your app as needed, using the provided documentation links for guidance.
Managing API keys
In the API keys section, all your generated keys are listed along with their details such as key name, creation date, and last usage date. Actions such as renaming or revoking keys can be performed here. Remember, revoking a key is irreversible.
List models
To see all available models, use the following request:
curl --location 'https://api.writer.com/v1/models' \
--header 'Authorization: {apiKey}'
