Voyage AI Quick Start

In this guide, you learn how to generate your first vector embeddings with Voyage AI and build a basic application.

Create a Model API Key

To access Voyage AI models, create a model API key in the MongoDB Atlas UI.

1

Sign up for a free Atlas account or log in.

If you're new to Atlas, it creates an organization and project for you.

To learn more, see Create an Atlas Account.

2

Create a model API key for your project.

  1. In your Atlas project, select AI Model APIs from the navigation bar.

  2. Click Create model API key.

  3. Give the API key a name and then click Create.

To learn more, see Manage Voyage AI Model API Keys.

3

Set the API key in your environment.

Copy the API key and store it in a safe location. Then, export the API key as an environment variable in your terminal so the Voyage client can access it.

export VOYAGE_API_KEY="<your-model-api-key>"
set VOYAGE_API_KEY=<your-model-api-key>

Generate Your First Embeddings

In this section, you generate vector embeddings using a Voyage AI embedding model and the Python client.
