- Access to the Quantum AI Agent system
1
Install required dependencies
Choose your preferred programming language and install the necessary HTTP client libraries:
2
Set up environment variables
Create a
.env
file in your project root to store your API credentials securely:Never commit your
.env
file to version control. Add it to your .gitignore
.3

Create a simple test to upload a document to the Quantum AI Agent:
Best Practices
Error Handling
Always implement proper error handling for API calls. Check status codes and handle network failures gracefully.
Rate Limiting
Respect API rate limits. Implement exponential backoff for retries when encountering rate limit errors.
Security
Store API tokens securely using environment variables. Never hardcode credentials in your source code.
Logging
Implement comprehensive logging to track API interactions and debug issues effectively.
