Installation Guide

This guide will help you get started with the Youzu.ai platform.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • A Youzu.ai account
  • API credentials from your dashboard:
    • Client Secret (x-client-secret) - for server-side authentication

Getting API Credentials

  1. Log in to your Youzu.ai dashboard
  2. Navigate to Settings > API Keys
  3. Copy your Client Key and Client Secret
  4. Store the Client Secret securely on your server - never expose it in client-side code

Option 1: Using the REST API

You can interact with Youzu.ai directly via our REST API. All API requests require authentication using your Client Key.

Authentication Methods

API Key Authentication (for most endpoints)

x-client-secret: YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

Token Authentication (for protected endpoints)

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

See the Authentication Guide for details on generating tokens.

Option 2: Using SDK Components

For quick integration of pre-built UI components in your web application, include our SDK:

Installation via CDN

Add the following script to your HTML:

<script src="https://sdk.youzu.ai/0.0.1-api/youzu-sdk/youzu-sdk.esm.js"></script>

Once included, you can use any Youzu component directly in your HTML:

<youzu-search-lens></youzu-search-lens>
<room-visualizer></room-visualizer>

The SDK components handle authentication and API calls automatically when properly configured.
