Overview

Minimal working example demonstrating core Windsurf functionality.

Prerequisites

Completed windsurf-install-auth setup
Valid API credentials configured
Development environment ready

Instructions

Step 1: Create Entry File

Create a new file for your hello world example.

Step 2: Import and Initialize Client

import { WindsurfClient } from '@windsurf/sdk';

const client = new WindsurfClient({
  apiKey: process.env.WINDSURF_API_KEY,
});

Step 3: Make Your First API Call

async function main() {
  // Your first API call here
}

main().catch(console.error);
