# IO Intelligence APIs

> IO Intelligence API serves as a bridge to powerful, open-source machine learning models, deployed on io.net hardware, allowing you to integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities into your projects with relative ease. To make the integration easy for your application, we fully support the API contract presented by OpenAI, making it fully OpenAI API compatible.

This guide is for users who want to use *IO Intelligence API keys* to use our open-source ***LLM Model Marketplace*** or ***AI Agents*** for your applications. You can also refer to [API References](/reference/ai-models/get-started-with-io-intelligence-api) for a more detailed approach to our APIs.

## Getting Started

To use *IO Intelligence APIs*, you will need an **API key**. Follow these steps to get started:

1. **Sign up** for an account on **IO Intelligence**.
2. **Create an API key** (see [Creating an API Key](https://ai.io.net/ai/api-keys)).
3. Explore the available open-source ***AI Models*** and ***AI Agents***.
4. Use the **API References** to integrate the API into your application.

### Creating an API Key:

1. Navigate to the **API Keys** section.

     -H "Authorization: Bearer \$IOINTELLIGENCE_API_KEY" /
     -d '{
        "model": "meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct",
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test!"}],
