# Making requests

#### *You can paste the command below into your terminal to run your first API request. Make sure to replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with your secret API key.*

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```
curl https://api.eye-ai.com/v1/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d '{"model": "text-davinci-003", "prompt": "Say this is a test", "temperature": 0, "max_tokens": 7}'
```

{% endcode %}

*This request queries the Davinci model to complete the text starting with a prompt of "Say this is a test". The `max_tokens` parameter sets an upper bound on how many tokens the API will return. You should get a response back that resembles the following:*

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```
{
    "id": "cmpl-GERzeJQ4lvqPk8SkZu4XMIuR",
    "object": "text_completion",
    "created": 1586839808,
    "model": "text-davinci:003",
    "choices": [
        {
            "text": "\n\nThis is indeed a test",
            "index": 0,
            "logprobs": null,
            "finish_reason": "length"
        }
    ],
    "usage": {
        "prompt_tokens": 5,
        "completion_tokens": 7,
        "total_tokens": 12
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

*Now you've generated your first completion. If you concatenate the prompt and the completion text (which the API will do for you if you set the `echo` parameter to `true`), the resulting text is "Say this is a test. This is indeed a test." You can also set the `stream` parameter to `true` for the API to stream back text*
