Client Initialization

Initialize the FishAudio client with your API key:

​
Verifying Authentication

Test your authentication by making a simple API call to check your account credits: 
from fishaudio import FishAudio
from fishaudio.exceptions import AuthenticationError

try:
    client = FishAudio()

    # Check account credits (requires valid authentication)
    credits = client.account.get_credits()
    print(f"Authentication successful! Credits: {credits.credit}")

except AuthenticationError:
    print("Authentication failed. Check your API key.")
Handle AuthenticationError when verifying authentication. The example uses get_credits() to verify the authentication works.
