# Quick Start

> Getting started with the ScaleGP APIs and SDK

You can interact with the API through HTTP requests from any language or via our official Python bindings (alpha)

## Authentication

Make sure to follow the previous steps described in [Authentication](/docs/authentication) to obtain an API key and account ID.

## SGP API

Connect to our API via:

```
BASE_URL = https://api.sgp.scale.com
```

## Installing the SGP SDK Client

To install the ScaleGP Python client, run the following command:

```Python Python theme={null}
pip install scale-gp
```

Now, we can use our API Key to create a SGP client. Examples on how to use the SGP client can be found in [Recipes](/recipes)

```Python Python theme={null}
from scale_gp import SGPClient

client = SGPClient(api_key=api_key)
```

> ⚠️ The Scale GP Python client is under active development, and many of the features in this document rely on the latest versions.
>
> To make sure you have the latest version, run `pip install scale-gp --upgrade`.
