This guide takes you from an API key to your first monitoring response.
1. Get your API key
You can find your API key in your dashboard.
New accounts include free credits on sign-up so you can test the API before subscribing to a paid plan.
2. Make your first request
All cloro monitoring endpoints are POST endpoints that expect a JSON body and a bearer-token Authorization header. You cannot call them by pasting a URL into a browser address bar (that would send a GET with no body). Use any of these instead:
- curl in a terminal (shown below)
- A GUI HTTP client such as Postman, Insomnia, or Bruno
- Code — see the Python and TypeScript integration guides
3. See the response
Use these docs with AI coding assistants
If you’d rather have Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or another AI assistant write the request for you, give it these docs as context first — see Use these docs with AI coding assistants for the llms.txt URLs, then ask it to build a request for the endpoint you need.
