# Introduction

## Installation

You can interact with the TTSLab API through HTTP requests from any language. For Python, we recommend using the `requests` library with a virtual environment.

### Python Setup

Create a virtual environment and install requests:

```bash theme={null}
# Create virtual environment
python -m venv ttslab-env

# Activate virtual environment (Windows)
ttslab-env\Scripts\activate

# Activate virtual environment (macOS/Linux)
source ttslab-env/bin/activate

# Install requests
pip install requests python-dotenv
```

### Node.js Setup

For Node.js projects, install the required packages:

```bash theme={null}
npm install node-fetch dotenv
```

## API Base URL

All API requests should be made to:

```
https://api.elevenlabs8.com
```

## Authentication

All API requests require authentication using the `X-API-KEY` header:

```bash theme={null}
X-API-KEY: your_api_key_here
```
