• Package manager (npm, pnpm, or pip)
• Lindy account with API access
• API key from Lindy dashboard (https://app.lindy.ai)

Instructions

Step 1: Install SDK

Step 2: Configure Authentication

# Set environment variable
export LINDY_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Or create .env file
echo 'LINDY_API_KEY=your-api-key' >> .env

Step 3: Verify Connection

import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';

const lindy = new Lindy({ apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY });
const agents = await lindy.agents.list();
console.log(agents.length > 0 ? 'Connected!' : 'No agents yet');

Output

• Installed SDK package in node_modules or site-packages
• Environment variable or .env file with API key
• Successful connection verification output

Error Handling
