Windsurf Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example demonstrating core Windsurf functionality.

Prerequisites

  • Completed windsurf-install-auth setup
  • Valid API credentials configured
  • Development environment ready

Instructions

Step 1: Create Entry File

Create a new file for your hello world example.

Step 2: Import and Initialize Client

import { WindsurfClient } from '@windsurf/sdk';

const client = new WindsurfClient({
  apiKey: process.env.WINDSURF_API_KEY,
});

Step 3: Make Your First API Call

async function main() {
  // Your first API call here
}

main().catch(console.error);

Output

  • Working code file with Windsurf client initialization
  • Successful API response confirming connection
  • Console output showing:
Success! Your Windsurf connection is working.

Error Handling

Error Cause Solution
Import Error SDK not installed Verify with npm list or pip show
Auth Error Invalid credentials Check environment variable is set
Timeout Network issues Increase timeout or check connectivity
Rate Limit Too many requests Wait and retry with exponential backoff

Examples

TypeScript Example

import { WindsurfClient } from '@windsurf/sdk';

const client = new WindsurfClient({
  apiKey: process.env.WINDSURF_API_KEY,
});

async function main() {
  // Your first API call here
}

main().catch(console.error);

Python Example

from windsurf import WindsurfClient
