Quick Start
Get your first SALZ API call working in under five minutes. Sign up, grab an API key, and optimize your first piece of text.
This guide walks you through making your first SALZ API call. You will go from zero to optimized text in under five minutes.
Step 1: Create an Account
Sign up at add-salz.io using your email address. You will receive a confirmation email to verify your account.
Step 2: Get Your API Key
Once logged in, navigate to the API Keys page in your dashboard. Click Create API Key, give it a name (e.g., "Development"), and copy the key. Store it securely -- you will not be able to view the full key again.
Your key will look something like this:
salz_k_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0...
Step 3: Make Your First Request
Open a terminal and run the following curl command, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with the key you just copied:
curl -X POST https://add-salz.io/api/v1/optimize \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"text": "In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, it is crucial to leverage cutting-edge solutions that drive meaningful outcomes. Our comprehensive platform enables organizations to harness the full potential of their data assets."
}'
Step 4: Check the Response
You will receive a JSON response with the optimized text:
{
"optimized": "AI is changing fast, and companies need tools that actually deliver results. Our platform helps teams get more out of their data.",
"success": true
}
Notice how the output strips away the filler phrases, reduces jargon, and reads like something a person would actually write.
Step 5: Try the Playground
If you want to experiment before writing code, visit the Playground on the SALZ website. Paste any AI-generated text, click optimize, and see the result instantly. No API key required for the web playground.
