Install SDKs

This guide will help you obtain an API key, install the SDK, and initialize the Zep client.

Obtain an API Key

Create a free Zep account and you will be prompted to create an API key.

Install the SDK

Python

Set up your Python project, ideally with a virtual environment, and then:

$
pip install zep-cloud

TypeScript

Set up your TypeScript project and then:

$
npm install @getzep/zep-cloud

Go

Set up your Go project and then:

$
go get github.com/getzep/zep-go/v3

Initialize the Client

First, make sure you have a .env file with your API key:

ZEP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

After creating your .env file, you’ll need to source it in your terminal session:

$
source .env

Then, initialize the client with your API key:

1
import os
2
from zep_cloud.client import Zep
3
4
API_KEY = os.environ.get('ZEP_API_KEY')
5
6
client = Zep(
7
    api_key=API_KEY,
8
)
