Get your API key

Navigate to Settings → API Keys in your dashboard. Click Create New Key, give it a name, and copy the key.

Keep your key secret. Store it in an environment variable — never commit it to source control.

bash

# Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc)
export DAILYAI_API_KEY="sk-your-api-key-here"

Install the Python SDK

Install the official Python SDK from PyPI. Requires Python 3.9 or later.

bash

pip install dailyai-agents

Verify the installation:

bash

python -c "import dailyai; print(dailyai.__version__)"
# Output: 1.4.0

Run your first agent

Create a file called first_agent.py and paste the following code. This runs a momentum trading agent on AAPL and returns the generated signal.

python

from dailyai import AgentOS

client = AgentOS(api_key="your-key")

signal = client.agents.trading.run(
    asset="AAPL",
    strategy="momentum"
)

print(signal)

Run the script:

bash

python first_agent.py

You'll see output like this:

json

{
  "signal_id": "sig_abc123",
  "asset": "AAPL",
  "strategy": "momentum",
  "direction": "long",
  "confidence": 0.87,
  "entry_price": 198.45,
  "stop_loss": 195.20,
  "take_profit": 204.10,
  "timestamp": "2026-03-25T14:30:00Z"
}

Tip: Use environment variables for your API key in production. The SDK automatically reads DAILYAI_API_KEY if no key is passed explicitly.

View results in the dashboard

Head back to dashboard.dailyai.dev. Your signal will appear in real-time on the Signals tab. You can filter by asset, strategy, and confidence level.
