Use this page when you want the smallest possible Node integration and you want to see every HTTP request clearly.

Build a Node REST smoke app against AI Stats using raw HTTP.

Open in Cursor

​
Sample project

​
What this app does

  • calls GET /v1/health
  • calls GET /v1/models
  • exercises generation routes like POST /v1/responses
  • gives you a raw HTTP reference for smoke tests, scripts, and backend checks

​
When this sample is the right fit

Start here when:
  • you want to debug raw API calls directly
  • you do not want SDK abstractions yet
  • you are building a script, worker, or CLI rather than a web UI

​
Run the sample

cd examples/gateway-node-quickstart
cp .env.example .env.local
Set:
  • AI_STATS_API_KEY
Then run either: 
npm run smoke
or: 
npm run start

​
What to look at in the code

  • how the script loads .env.local
  • how the authorization header is attached
  • how each request is built explicitly
  • how non-200 responses are surfaced instead of swallowed

​
How to make it your own

  • trim the script to only the routes your service actually needs
  • move shared request code into one helper if multiple scripts will use it
  • upgrade to the TypeScript SDK later if the raw HTTP path becomes repetitive
