description: Install an SDK, authenticate, and make your first Colleqtive API call.
---

This guide gets you from zero to your first authenticated request.

## 1. Install an SDK

Terminal window

```
# TypeScript / Node
npm install @colleqtive/sdk


# Python
pip install colleqtive-sdk


# C# / .NET
dotnet add package Colleqtive.Sdk
```

## 2. Set your token

The SDKs read your bearer token from `COLLEQTIVE_BEARER_TOKEN`:

Terminal window

```
export COLLEQTIVE_BEARER_TOKEN="your-token"
```

## 3. Make your first call

List the stores your token can access:

```
import Colleqtive from "@colleqtive/sdk";


const client = new Colleqtive();


const stores = await client.stores.list();
console.log(stores);
```

```
from colleqtive_sdk import Colleqtive


client = Colleqtive()


stores = client.stores.list()
print(stores)
```

## Next steps

- Explore the full [API Reference](/api/index.md) for every resource and endpoint.
- Check the per-language README in each SDK package for pagination, retries, and error handling.
