Prompt Quick Start

Create a prompt, test it in the editor, create a prompt deployment, and run it through the public API

By the end of this guide, you'll have a prompt running in the dashboard and a public cURL snippet you can use to invoke it from your app.

Prerequisites

• A Fetch Hive workspace

• A workspace API key if you want to run the public cURL example - see API Keys

Step 1: Create a prompt

Open Prompts in the sidebar, then click Add Prompt.

Enter a Name. If your workspace uses categories, you can also choose a Category. Click Save to open the editor.

Step 2: Add your first message

In the editor, find the Prompt section and click Add Message.

For a minimal prompt, add one short instruction. For example:

You are a helpful assistant. Summarize the user's text in one sentence.

If you want the prompt to accept dynamic input, include a variable such as {{text}}. When your prompt contains variables, you can click Variables to open the Input Values sheet and provide test values before you run it.

Step 3: Test the prompt in the editor

Click Run.

The response appears in the Model Response area on the right side of the editor. Use this step to confirm that your prompt behaves the way you expect before you create a prompt deployment.

This in-editor run is for dashboard testing. It is not the same as the public API invoke flow.

Step 4: Save a named version

Click Save Version in the editor header.

Enter a short description of what changed, then save the version. This gives you a named checkpoint you can refer back to later.

Step 5: Create a deployment

Click Deploy, then choose Create a Deployment.

Enter a Deployment key and save it. This creates the live prompt deployment you can invoke outside the dashboard.

Use Deploy and deployment language here. In Fetch Hive, this is the step that makes your prompt available as a prompt deployment through the public API.

Step 6: Copy the public invoke snippet

Open More in the sidebar, then click Get Code.

Select your Deployment and Variant. The dialog shows a cURL snippet for POST /v1/invoke.

The dialog provides a cURL snippet here. The Python and TypeScript tabs are still marked Coming Soon.

curl 'https://api.fetchhive.com/v1/invoke' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
    "deployment": "YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME",
    "variant": "YOUR_VARIANT_NAME",
    "inputs": {
      "text": "Fetch Hive helps teams ship AI products faster."
    },
    "streaming": true
  }' \
  --compressed

Replace YOUR_API_KEY, YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME, YOUR_VARIANT_NAME, and the inputs object with your real values.
