From zero to first API call in five minutes

Create a free account

Go to hush-ai.uk and sign up. It takes about thirty seconds. No credit card is required.

You will receive an API key in your account dashboard after signing in.

Get your API key

After signing in, find your API key in the account settings. Copy it; you will need it for every API request.

Set it as an environment variable:

# Linux / macOS
export HUSH_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:HUSH_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"

Install the client library

The Hush API is OpenAI-compatible, so you use the official OpenAI client libraries. No Hush-specific SDK needed.

pip install openai

npm install openai

Make your first request

Point the client at https://hush-ai.uk/v1 instead of the OpenAI endpoint. That is the only change.

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://hush-ai.uk/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["HUSH_API_KEY"]
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="omega",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "What is GDPR Article 28?"}
    ]
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://hush-ai.uk/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.HUSH_API_KEY,
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "omega",
  messages: [
    { role: "system", content: "You are a helpful assistant." },
    { role: "user", content: "What is GDPR Article 28?" },
  ],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);

curl https://hush-ai.uk/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HUSH_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "omega",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "What is GDPR Article 28?"}
    ]
  }'

Read the response

The response follows the standard OpenAI chat completion format:

{
  "id": "chatcmpl-abc123",
  "object": "chat.completion",
  "model": "omega",
  "choices": [{
    "index": 0,
    "message": {
      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "GDPR Article 28 sets out the obligations..."
    },
    "finish_reason": "stop"
  }],
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 25,
    "completion_tokens": 80,
    "total_tokens": 105
  }
}

That is it. Your data hit our hardware in the UK, was processed in memory, and the request data is now gone. Not stored, not logged, not trained on.
