Build on Beam.

Quickstart. Two steps to your first request.

1. 1

   Mint an API key

   From your workspace Settings, open Members and create a key. Scope it to just what it needs (chat, agents, embeddings, or knowledge) and keep it out of client-side code.

2. 2

   Send your first request

   Message any agent in your workspace with a bearer token. This is the real request shape, no streaming or tool calls in the response yet.
