# Python client

> Lets get started with the AskVideos Python client

## Installation

Install from [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/askvideos/) using

```
pip install askvideos
```

## Usage

To use the client in your application, create a client object.

```python theme={null}
import askvideos as av

API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
client = av.Client(API_KEY)
```

<Tip>Follow these steps to get an API key: [API keys](/installation/api-key)</Tip>

## Next steps

Now that the Python client is setup, we can get started by populating the index with videos.
