Quickstart
1. Choose deployment
Cloud platform: To use our hosted cloud version of Airweave, visit app.airweave.ai. Currently, you can only use the cloud version if you are part of a customer organization. If you want early access, please send us an email at hello@airweave.ai with your email and how you would like your organization to be named.
Self-Hosted: To deploy Airweave on your local machine, execute the following commands on macOS, Linux, or WSL and access your dashboard at http://localhost:8080.
2. Set-up client
Install Airweave’s SDK for Python or JavaScript.
Create API key by going to the dashboard in the UI, either at http://localhost:8080 or https://app.airweave.ai depending on your deployment, select “API Keys” in the sidebar and click “Create key”.
Initiate client instance with your API key. If Airweave is deployed locally, set the base_url parameter to "http://localhost:8001"

3. Create a collection
A collection is a group of different data sources that you can search using a single endpoint.
4. Add source connection(s) to your collection
A source connection is an authenticated and configured link to a data source that automatically syncs data into your collection.
