# Using the FabriXAI API to Interact with Your AI Agent

This step-by-step guide walks you through the process of cloning an AI agent on FabriXAI and making your first API call using the FabriXAI API with cURL. We'll use the Resource Allocation Planner (opens new window) as an example AI Agent throughout the tutorial.

There are 5 key steps to follow:

Let’s get started!

To use FabriXAI, you'll first need an account. If you already have one, feel free to skip ahead to Step 2: Clone the Agent Template.

Go to the Resource Allocation Planner detail page (opens new window).
Click "Clone this Agent" button.
Click "Sign up".
Fill in your account details and click "Sign Up".
Check your email inbox for a verification message and click the link inside.
Review your email address and Click "Next" to proceed.
Wait a moment while your workspace is being set up. Once it's ready, you'll receive a welcome email.
Click the link in the email to access your workspace.

# Step 2: Clone the Agent Template

Let’s start working with the Resource Allocation Planner agent.

In your FabriXAI workspace, go to the Templates section from the sidebar.
Search for "Resource Allocation Planner".
Hover over the template and click "Clone to Edit".
Click "Create" to finalize and add it to your workspace.

# Step 3: Create an API Key

To use the API, you need an API key.

Navigate to the AI Agent Builder for the agent you cloned.
Go to Integrations > API in the left sidebar.
Click "API Key", then choose "Create New API Key".
Copy and store your API key somewhere safe.

Please ensure that you store your API key in a secure location and do not share it with anyone to prevent unauthorized access.

# Step 4: Enable API Access

Before using the API, make sure it’s enabled (And usually it is already on):

Navigate to the AI Agent Builder for the specific AI agent you wish to integrate.
Click on "Integrations > API" in the left sidebar.
In the Backend Service API card, make sure the toggle in the top-right corner is switched ON.

# Step 5: Make an API Call Using cURL

Now let’s send a request to your AI agent using cURL from your command line.

Open a Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac/Linux).
Copy and paste the example cURL command below:

The following command is for Resource Allocation Planner (opens new window). For other AI agents, you may need to update the properties in "inputs" based on the configured inputs of the AI agent.

curl -X POST 'https://console.fabrixai.com/v1/completion-messages' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data-raw '{
        "inputs": {
            "key_skills_expertise": "Communication, Customer service",
            "project_name": "Demo Project"
        },
        "response_mode": "blocking",
        "user": "user"
    }'

Replace {api_key} with your generated API key from Step 3.

Hit Enter to run the command. After a moment, you'll see a response from the AI.

Here is a sample response:
