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 Keys: Go to Settings → API Keys.
  3. Create a Key: Generate a new API key. Copy it and store it securely — it’s only shown once.
Your API key will look like this: llmgen_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

​
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,
      "showFullText": true,
      "generationMethod": "simple"
    }
  }'
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 with the job result and file URL: 
{
  "jobId": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "status": "completed",
  "progress": 100,
  "message": "Generation completed successfully",
  "fileTextUrl": "https://api.llmgenerator.com/api/v1/file/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}
You can now access your llms.txt file at the provided fileTextUrl. The file is publicly accessible and cached for performance.

​
4. Access Your File

The generated file can be accessed in several ways. Use the siteId from the jobId response or look it up via GET /api/v1/sites: 
# View in browser (returns llms.txt text)
curl https://api.llmgenerator.com/api/v1/file/YOUR_SITE_ID

# Download as file
curl https://api.llmgenerator.com/api/v1/file/YOUR_SITE_ID/download -o llms.txt
