Environment setup

The quickest way to get started is by using one of our SDKs. We currently support Python and Node. If you’re using a different language, you can use our REST API.

​

1. Install the SDK

​

2. Get an API key

You need an API key to use the SDK. You can get one by visiting your account page. You will be asked to sign up if you don’t already have an account. Don’t worry, we have a free tier that you can use to get started.

​

3. Save your API key

You can export your API key as an environment variable. This is the recommended way to use the SDK.

export LMNT_API_KEY=your-api-key

​

All set!

You’re now ready to start using the SDK. Currently, there are two primary ways one might want to use LMNT: text-to-speech and streaming. Move ahead to try building each of these out.
