Quick Start

Get your first AI-powered company insights in just 2 steps. No coding experience required!

Step 1: Get Your API Key

Think of your API key as a password that lets you access Saber's AI research capabilities.

Here's how to get it:

  1. Log in to your Saber account at ai.saber.app

  2. Click on Settings (in the bottom-left corner)

  3. Find the "API Keys" section in the settings menu

  4. Click "Create API Key" and give it a memorable name (like "My First Key")

  5. Copy the key immediately - You'll see something like sk_live_abc123xyz...

    ⚠️ Important: This key will only be shown once! Save it somewhere safe.

Where to store your API key:

  • On your computer: Save it in a text file or password manager

  • In your code: Use an environment variable (your developer will know what this means)

  • Don't share it publicly or commit it to GitHub!

Your API key looks like this: sk_live_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6

Step 2: Make Your First Request

Now let's ask Saber to research a company! We'll use Clay.com as an example.

Copy this command and paste it into your terminal (replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you just copied):

What this command does:

  • curl - A tool that sends web requests (it's already on your computer!)

  • https://api.saber.app/v1/companies/signals/sync - The Saber API address

  • Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY - Your secret key that proves it's you

  • "domain": "clay.com" - The company website you want to research

  • "question": "Does this company have open roles in operations?" - What you want to know

  • "answerType": "boolean" - You want a yes/no answer

How to run this:

  1. Windows: Open "Command Prompt" or "PowerShell"

  2. Mac: Open "Terminal" (find it in Applications → Utilities)

  3. Linux: Open your terminal application

  4. Paste the command and press Enter

  5. Wait 30-60 seconds while Saber's AI researches the company

What You'll Get Back

Saber will return a JSON response (a structured data format) that looks like this:

Understanding the response:

  • status: "completed" - Your research is done!

  • answer.boolean.value: true - Yes, they have open operations roles

  • reasoning - Why Saber thinks this is the answer

  • confidence: 0.95 - Saber is 95% confident (0 = no confidence, 1 = totally sure)

  • sources - Where Saber found this information (with direct links!)

Try Different Questions

Change the "question" in your command to ask different things about any company:

Yes/No Questions (use "answerType": "boolean"):

  • "Does this company have open roles in operations?"

  • "Does this company use HubSpot?"

  • "Are they venture-backed?"

  • "Do they have a remote work policy?"

Numeric Questions (use "answerType": "number"):

  • "What is the size of their DevOps team?"

  • "How many employees work here?"

  • "What year was the company founded?"

Open-Ended Questions (use "answerType": "open_text"):

  • "What industry does this company serve?"

  • "What is their main product offering?"

  • "Who are their main competitors?"

Pro tip: Change "domain": "clay.com" to any company website (like "stripe.com", "shopify.com", etc.)

What Happens Behind the Scenes

When you make a request:

  1. 🚀 Saber receives your question about the company

  2. 🤖 AI analyzes the company's website, career pages, social media, and public data

  3. 🧠 AI finds the answer and determines how confident it is

  4. 📚 Collects sources so you can verify the information

  5. ✅ Returns everything in one response (usually 30-60 seconds)

Need Help?

Common issues:

  • "Unauthorized" error? → Check that you copied your API key correctly (including sk_live_)

  • "curl command not found"? → curl is pre-installed on Mac/Linux. Windows users: use PowerShell or install Git Bash

  • Request taking too long? → Some questions need more research time. You can set a custom timeout (see advanced docs below)

  • Getting unexpected answers? → Try rephrasing your question to be more specific

More Examples to Try

Now that you've made your first request, try these other common use cases:

Example 1: Check if a company uses specific technology

Example 2: Get a company's employee count

Example 3: Learn about a company's business model

That's it! You now know how to use Saber's API to get AI-powered insights about any company. Simply change the domain and question fields to research different companies and ask different questions.
