## domain-search API Guide

### About

### 1. Calling the API

#### Install the Client

```bash
pip install inferencesh
```

#### Setup Your API Key
Set `INFERENCE_API_KEY` as an environment variable. Get your key from settings → api keys.

```bash
export INFERENCE_API_KEY="inf_your_key"
```

#### Run and Get Result

```python
import os
from inferencesh import inference

client = inference(api_key=os.environ["INFERENCE_API_KEY"])


result = client.run({
        "app": "fastly/domain-search@0vgykbh8",
        "input": {
            "query": "query"
        }
    })

print(result["output"])
```

#### Stream Live Updates

```python
import os
from inferencesh import inference

client = inference(api_key=os.environ["INFERENCE_API_KEY"])


## stream=True yields updates as they arrive
for update in client.run({
        "app": "fastly/domain-search@0vgykbh8",
        "input": {
            "query": "query"
        }
    }, stream=True):
    if update.get("progress"):
        print(f"progress: {update['progress']}%")
    if update.get("output"):
        print(f"output: {update['output']}")

    }
})
