Getting Started with Cognitera Intelligence

Cognitera Intelligence provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) optimized for AI workloads. Our platform offers:

  • PostgreSQL Databases — Managed, provisioned-on-demand databases
  • GPU Cluster Access — Submit compute jobs to our GPU cluster
  • AI Model Inference — Run inference against hosted AI models via a simple API

Quick Start​

1. Create an Account​

curl -X POST https://intelligence.cognitera.ai/api/auth/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "email": "you@example.com",
    "name": "Your Name",
    "password": "your-secure-password"

}

3. Generate an API Key (Optional)​

For programmatic access, generate a persistent API key:

curl -X POST https://intelligence.cognitera.ai/api/auth/api-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"

4. Start Using the API​

Use your token to access any service:

# Run AI inference
curl -X POST https://intelligence.cognitera.ai/api/models/infer \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "phi3:3.8b",
    "prompt": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
  }'

Base URL​

All API requests go to:

https://intelligence.cognitera.ai/api

Authentication​

All endpoints (except /auth/register, /auth/login, and /models) require a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN

Rate Limits​

Usage is metered and billed per resource consumed. Check your usage at any time:

curl https://intelligence.cognitera.ai/api/usage/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
