Quickstart

Get up and running in 5 minutes.

1. Create an Account

Sign up and create your account.

2. Buy Shells

New accounts start with 0 balance. Go to Buy Shells to purchase compute credits.

3. Get an API Key

Go to API Keys and create a new key. Save it securely — it's only shown once.

4. Make a Request

curl -X POST https://execution.run/v1/compute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -d '{
    "request": {
      "model": "gemini-2.0-flash",
      "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello!"}]
    }
  }'
