# Overview

The Arkane Cloud Inference API offers a suite of endpoints for different machine learning models, enabling you to leverage state-of-the-art technologies in your applications. Our APIs are designed to be robust, scalable, and easy to integrate.

### Getting Started

New to Arkane Cloud? Follow the [Getting Started](#getting-started) guide to create an account and fund your project before making API requests.

You can use [inference models](https://console.arkanecloud.com/models) to send requests to them and get responses. For example, you can send a prompt, chat history or image, and get the image description or an answer to the asked question.

To test the models, use the [Arkane Cloud playground](https://console.arkanecloud.com/playground). It displays the characteristics of the models, so you can compare them. Additionally, you can send requests to any supported model in the playground.

Once you have finished testing, use the [Arkane Cloud API](https://docs.arkanecloud.com/arkane-cloud/api-reference/api-reference) and build an application that sends requests to AI models.

### Authorization

To access and use these API endpoints, authorization is required. Please visit our [Authorization](https://docs.arkanecloud.com/arkane-cloud/inference/authorization) page for detailed instructions on obtaining and using a bearer token for secure API access.
