Quickstart

Onboarding3 steps

Create an account, set up an organization, then make one real request.

Create accountCreate organizationCall an API

Already have an account? Skip to create an organization or connect SandBase .

1. 01Create your account

   Sign in with GitHub or Google. First login creates your account and a personal workspace.

   Open login
2. 02Create an organization

   Keep the personal workspace, or create a team so keys, members, and billing are shared.

   Open Team
3. 03Connect SandBase

   Call an API, try it on the website, connect an AI tool, or build an Agent.

1. Create your account

SandBase uses GitHub or Google. There is no separate email-and-password signup.

1. Open Create account / Sign in.
2. Complete the security check, then choose Sign in with GitHub or Sign in with Google.
3. Approve access in the provider window.
4. Confirm you land in the Console.

First login creates your account and a personal workspace. You do not need to create an organization before you can try SandBase.

If a welcome credit appears, you can start without adding a payment method. Treat Console Credits as the source of truth for the current balance.

2. Create an organization

API keys, usage, and billing belong to an organization. Stay in the personal workspace if you are evaluating alone. Create a team when several people will share keys and spend.

Workspace	When to use it
Personal	Created automatically on first login. One per user.
Team	Shared members, keys, and balance. Create this for a company or project.

2.1 Create a team

1. Open Create team, or use Create Team in the Console header menu.
2. Enter a team name, then create the workspace.
3. Confirm the Console header now shows that team as the active organization.
4. Select Add member and enter the email of an existing SandBase account.

An invited person must already have a SandBase account. If they do not, send them this page so they can sign in first, then add them.

If you belong to more than one organization, switch in the Console header. Keys and billing follow the active organization. See Organizations for roles.

3. Connect SandBase

Pick the path that matches the work you need to do now. You can add the others later. Confirm the active organization first so keys and connected tools land in the right workspace.

3.1 Call an API

Choose this if you are adding one capability to your app.

1. Create an API key in Console → API Keys. Copy it immediately; it is shown only once.
2. Filter the Store and open a detail page:
   • Language models — filter by provider, capabilities, context, and price
   • Image and video models — filter multimodal models such as text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, and image-to-video
   • APIs — filter API resources by platform and data source
3. Copy the request and call it with your SandBase API key.

Example Model call:

export SANDBASE_API_KEY="sk-YOUR_KEY"

curl https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this customer feedback."}]
  }'

3.2 Use SandBase on the website

Choose this if you want to try a Model, API, or Agent in the browser first — no client install and no code.

1. Sign in, then open the Store:
   • Language models
   • Image and video models
   • APIs
   • Agents
2. Filter and open a detail page.
3. Run one request on that page and confirm a result comes back.

Learn more: Store.

3.3 Use SandBase in your AI tool

Choose this if you use Codex, Claude, Cursor, Kiro, or another supported client and want Models, APIs, and Services inside that app.

1. Open Setup.
2. Choose your AI tool and review its prerequisites.
3. Run the command or import steps shown for that client.
4. Complete authorization, then restart or reload the client if instructed.
5. Verify the SandBase entry and make one safe tool request.

To change what the connected tool can discover, open Workspace Services.

For example, after adding a web search API, you can ask:

Research this company and give me a sourced customer brief.

Learn more: Connect AI tools.

3.4 Build an Agent

Choose this if the work has multiple steps or should be reused.

1. Open Build Agent.
2. Define the Agent instructions.
3. Pick a Model.
4. Add APIs and Skills.
5. Test a run.
6. Publish a selected version as a Service, or create a Schedule.

Learn more: Build Agent.

4. Confirm it works

You are ready when all of the following are true:

• The Console header shows the organization you intend to use.
• You completed one path: an API call, a run on the website, a connected AI tool, or an Agent.
• One request succeeds.

If the request fails, check the active organization, the key, and Errors. Add credits in Billing when the workspace has no remaining balance.

5. Billing and usage

After you sign in, review spend for the active organization:

BillingBilling and credits

Check balance, top up, and review billing records.

UsageUsage analytics

See recent call volume and cost for the active organization.
