# API keys and URLs

Whether you want to use [SambaCloud](https://sambanova.ai/products/sambacloud) or [SambaStack](https://sambanova.ai/products/sambastack), getting your development project started with SambaNova technology is easy - all you need is a SambaNova API key and a URL.

<Note>
  Each user can generate and use up to 25 API keys.
</Note>

Refer to the section below based on the product you plan to use.

## SambaCloud

To generate an API key, go to the [API section of the SambaCloud portal](https://cloud.sambanova.ai/apis). When generating API keys, be sure to save them securely, as they can’t be viewed again.

API endpoints:

* Base URL (to be used with the OpenAI client, for example):
  ```
  https://api.sambanova.ai/v1
  ```
* Chat completion endpoint (to be used with a CURL command, for example):

  ```
  https://api.sambanova.ai/v1/chat/completions
  ```

<Note>
  Refer to the [API reference](/api-reference/endpoints/chat) section to explore all API endpoints.
</Note>

## SambaStack

For SambaStack deployments, consult with your system administrator to receive a link for your local API key generation tool and local base URL. When generating API keys, be sure to save them securely, as they can’t be viewed again.
