Prerequisites

Node.js 18 or later for SDK usage, a Vaikora account and API key, and an LLM provider API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or another supported provider.

Get your API key

Sign up for Vaikora and create an API key from the dashboard. Live and test keys are available so you can develop safely before going to production.

Install the SDK and configure

Install the Vaikora SDK and point your client at the Vaikora endpoint by setting the base URL and your API key in the environment. The integration is OpenAI-compatible.

Make your first protected request

Send a request through Vaikora. Safe requests pass through to your provider; threats are blocked automatically and returned with a clear decision.
