Swarms Quickstart Guide

This guide will help you get started with both single agent and multi-agent functionalities in Swarms API.

Prerequisites

!!! info "Requirements"

- Python 3.7+
- API key from [Swarms Platform](https://swarms.world/platform/api-keys)
- `requests` library for Python
- `axios` for TypeScript/JavaScript
- `curl` for shell commands

Installation

=== "pip"

```bash
pip install requests python-dotenv
```

=== "npm"

```bash
npm install axios dotenv
```

Authentication

!!! warning "API Key Security"

Never hardcode your API key in your code. Always use environment variables or secure configuration management.

The API is accessible through two base URLs:

• Production: https://api.swarms.world
• Alternative: https://swarms-api-285321057562.us-east1.run.app

Single Agent Usage

Health Check

=== "Python"

```python linenums="1" title="health_check.py"
import os
import requests
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
API_KEY = os.getenv("SWARMS_API_KEY")
BASE_URL = "https://api.swarms.world"

headers = {
    "x-api-key": API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/health", headers=headers)
print(response.json())
```

=== "cURL"

```bash title="health_check.sh"
curl -X GET "https://api.swarms.world/health" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SWARMS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

=== "TypeScript"

```typescript linenums="1" title="health_check.ts"
import axios from 'axios';
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv';

dotenv.config();
const API_KEY = process.env.SWARMS_API_KEY;
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.swarms.world';

async function checkHealth() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get(`${BASE_URL}/health`, {
      headers: {
        'x-api-key': API_KEY,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    });
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  }
}

checkHealth();
```

Basic Agent

=== "Python"

```python linenums="1" title="single_agent.py"
import os
import requests
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

API_KEY = os.getenv("SWARMS_API_KEY")  # (1)
BASE_URL = "https://api.swarms.world"

headers = {
    "x-api-key": API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

def run_single_agent():
    """Run a single agent with the AgentCompletion format"""
    payload = {
        "agent_config": {
            "agent_name": "Research Analyst",  # (2)
            "description": "An expert in analyzing and synthesizing research data",
            "system_prompt": (  # (3)
                "You are a Research Analyst with expertise in data analysis and synthesis. "
                "Your role is to analyze provided information, identify key insights, "
                "and present findings in a clear, structured format."
            ),
            "model_name": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620",  # (4)
            "role": "worker",
            "max_loops": 1,
            "max_tokens": 8192,
            "temperature": 1,
            "auto_generate_prompt": False,
            "tools_list_dictionary": None,
        },
        "task": "What are the key trends in renewable energy adoption?",  # (5)
    }

    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/v1/agent/completions",
        headers=headers,
        json=payload
    )
    return response.json()

# Run the agent
result = run_single_agent()
print(result)
```

1. Load API key from environment variables
2. Give your agent a descriptive name
3. Define the agent's capabilities and role
4. Choose from available models
5. Specify the task for the agent

Multi-Agent Swarms

!!! tip "Swarm Types"

Swarms API supports two types of agent workflows:

1. `SequentialWorkflow`: Agents work in sequence, each building on previous output
2. `ConcurrentWorkflow`: Agents work in parallel on the same task

Sequential Workflow

=== "Python"

```python linenums="1" title="sequential_swarm.py"
def run_sequential_swarm():
    payload = {
        "name": "Financial Analysis Swarm",
        "description": "Market analysis swarm",
        "agents": [
            {
                "agent_name": "Market Analyst",  # (1)
                "description": "Analyzes market trends",
                "system_prompt": "You are a financial analyst expert.",
                "model_name": "gpt-4o",
                "role": "worker",
                "max_loops": 1,
                "max_tokens": 8192,
                "temperature": 0.5,
                "auto_generate_prompt": False
            },
            {
                "agent_name": "Economic Forecaster",  # (2)
                "description": "Predicts economic trends",
                "system_prompt": "You are an expert in economic forecasting.",
                "model_name": "gpt-4o",
                "role": "worker",
                "max_loops": 1,
                "max_tokens": 8192,
                "temperature": 0.5,
                "auto_generate_prompt": False
            }
        ],
        "max_loops": 1,
        "swarm_type": "SequentialWorkflow",  # (3)
        "task": "Analyze the current market conditions and provide economic forecasts."
    }

    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/v1/swarm/completions",
        headers=headers,
        json=payload
    )
    return response.json()
```

1. First agent analyzes market trends
2. Second agent builds on first agent's analysis
3. Sequential workflow ensures ordered execution

1. First agent processes lab data
2. Second agent works simultaneously
3. Concurrent workflow for parallel processing

Best Practices

!!! danger "Security" Never commit API keys or sensitive credentials to version control.

!!! warning "Rate Limits" Implement proper rate limiting and error handling in production.

!!! tip "Testing" Start with simple tasks and gradually increase complexity.

=== "Python"

```python linenums="1" title="best_practices.py"
# Error Handling
try:
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
    response.raise_for_status()
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

# Rate Limiting
import time
from tenacity import retry, wait_exponential

@retry(wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=4, max=10))
def make_api_call():
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response

# Input Validation
def validate_payload(payload):
    required_fields = ["agent_config", "task"]
    if not all(field in payload for field in required_fields):
        raise ValueError("Missing required fields")
```

=== "TypeScript"

```typescript linenums="1" title="best_practices.ts"
// Error Handling
try {
  const response = await axios.post(url, payload, { headers });
} catch (error) {
  if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
    console.error('API Error:', error.response?.data);
  }
  throw error;
}

// Rate Limiting
import { rateLimit } from 'axios-rate-limit';

const http = rateLimit(axios.create(), { 
  maxRequests: 2,
  perMilliseconds: 1000
});

// Input Validation
function validatePayload(payload: unknown): asserts payload is AgentPayload {
  if (!payload || typeof payload !== 'object') {
    throw new Error('Invalid payload');
  }

  const { agent_config, task } = payload as Partial<AgentPayload>;
  
  if (!agent_config || !task) {
    throw new Error('Missing required fields');
  }
