Make your first connection.

Choose your tool. Follow the setup. Know what to look for when it works.

Copy the setup prompt into your agent, or open it there directly. Chat apps install Redpine from their own directories.

First, create an API key.

Start with a sandbox key (sk_test_) to test the request with synthetic results at no cost. Create the key in your dashboard, then paste it into your local setup.

Open API keys

Replace my-collection with a collection your key can access, and your search query with your question. About collections

Put your API key in your environment:
Terminal
```
export REDPINE_API_KEY=sk_test_YOUR_SANDBOX_KEY
```

Make your first request:

curl -X POST "https://api.redpine.ai/api/v1/search/query" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REDPINE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"collection": "my-collection", "query": "your search query"}'

Check it works

Your request should return a results array. With a sandbox key, result IDs start with sandbox- and their metadata includes synthetic: true.

That confirms the request is working. Sandbox results are test data; use a live key when you are ready to search real content.

Check that you have completed sign-in and selected the right organization.
Check that your key is current and has access to the collection you requested.
