## Quick Start

Install the SDK and make a first authenticated API call.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Go">
    ```bash theme={null}
    go get github.com/whitebit-exchange/go-sdk
    ```

    ```go theme={null}
    // TODO: verify SDK method names against github.com/whitebit-exchange/go-sdk
    package main

    import (
        "fmt"
        whitebit "github.com/whitebit-exchange/go-sdk"
        "os"
    )

    func main() {
        client := whitebit.NewClient(os.Getenv("WB_API_KEY"), os.Getenv("WB_API_SECRET"))
        balance, err := client.GetTradeBalance()
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
        fmt.Println(balance)
    }
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```bash theme={null}
    pip install whitebit
    ```

    ```python theme={null}
    # TODO: verify SDK method names against github.com/whitebit-exchange/python-sdk
    import os
    from whitebit import Client

    client = Client(
        api_key=os.environ["WB_API_KEY"],
        api_secret=os.environ["WB_API_SECRET"]
    )
    balance = client.get_trade_balance()
    print(balance)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="PHP">
    ```bash theme={null}
    composer require whitebit/api-sdk
    ```

    ```php theme={null}
    <?php
    // TODO: verify SDK method names against github.com/whitebit-exchange/php-sdk
    require 'vendor/autoload.php';

    $client = new \WhiteBIT\Client(
        apiKey: getenv('WB_API_KEY'),
        apiSecret: getenv('WB_API_SECRET')
    );
    $balance = $client->getTradeBalance();
    print_r($balance);
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Note>
  Store API keys in environment variables (`WB_API_KEY`, `WB_API_SECRET`). Never hardcode credentials in source files.
