This guide will walk you through the essential steps to start using the LLMGenerator API. By the end, you’ll be able to generate your first llms.txt file.

​
1. Create an Account & Get API Key

Before you can use the API, you need to create an LLMGenerator account and obtain an API key.
  1. Sign Up: Create an account on the LLMGenerator dashboard.
  2. Navigate to API Settings: Once logged in, go to the “API Keys” section in your account settings.
  3. Create a Key: Generate a new API key. Make sure to copy it and store it securely. You won’t be able to see it again.
Your API key should look something like this: llmgen_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

​
2. Make Your First API Request

Now you can use your API key to make requests to the LLMGenerator API. The primary endpoint for creating llms.txt files is /api/v1/generate. You’ll need to send a POST request with your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. 
curl -X POST https://api.llmgenerator.com/api/v1/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "url": "https://www.example.com",
        "options": {
          "maxUrls": 10,
          "generationMethod": "enhanced"
        }
      }'
Remember to replace YOUR_API_KEY with the actual API key you obtained in the first step.

​
3. Check the Response

If your request is successful, you’ll receive a JSON response containing the jobId and the fileUrl for your newly generated llms.txt file. 
{
  "jobId": "gen_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "completed",
  "progress": 100,
  "message": "File generated successfully",
  "fileUrl": "https://files.llmgenerator.com/llms-xxxxxxxx.txt"
}
You can now access your llms.txt file at the provided fileUrl.
