Set Up Your Environment

Export your API key as an environment variable:

$ export SARVAM_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Install the SDK

Choose your preferred language and install our SDK:

$ pip install -U sarvamai

Make Your First API Call

1 from sarvamai import SarvamAI
2 
3 client = SarvamAI(
4     api_subscription_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
5 )
6 
7 response = client.text.translate(
8     input="Hi, My Name is Vinayak.",
9     source_language_code="auto",
10     target_language_code="gu-IN",
11     speaker_gender="Male"
