Quickstart

Get up and running with Forge in under 5 minutes. Install the SDK, configure your API key, and make your first request.

Install & configure

Install the Forge SDK from npm and set your API key as an environment variable. You can find your key in the Dashboard → API Keys section.

terminal

bash

# Install the SDK
npm install @forge/sdk

# Add your API key through your own secret store

# Make your first request
npx forge ping

Make your first request

Use the SDK to list your API keys and create a webhook. All methods return typed responses with full IntelliSense support.

index.ts

typescript

import { Forge } from "@forge/sdk";

const forge = new Forge({
  apiKey: "fk_live_a3f8b2c1",
});

// List all API keys
const keys = await forge.keys.list();

// Create a new webhook
const webhook = await forge.webhooks.create({
  url: "https://example.com/webhook",
  events: ["api.request", "key.rotated"],
});

logger.info(webhook.id); // whk_aBcDeFgH...

Handle the response

Every API response follows a consistent structure. Resources include timestamps, unique IDs, and related metadata.
