Getting Started

Setup

Generate keys and integrate Radist into your app in a few steps.

1. Generate keys

Open the project Keys section and create a secret key. Copy and store it immediately — Radist only shows a secret key once. Your project also has a public key that is always visible.

Key summary

  • rad_sk_... — secret key, server-side only.
  • rad_pk_... — public key, safe to expose in the browser.
  • ct_... — participant token, single-use per call or room connection.

See Keys & auth for a full breakdown.

2. Install a server SDK

Pick the SDK that matches your backend and install it.

JavaScript / TypeScript

@radist-tech/server

Node, Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes.

Go

radist Go SDK

Idiomatic Go with context support.

Python

radist-server

Works with Django, FastAPI, Flask, and more.

HTTP

Raw HTTP API

Any language, any runtime, any client.

3. Setup client

In your browser app, install @radist-tech/client and connect with the participant token your server issued. For a zero-config drop-in UI, try the Easy Interface.

Browser / JavaScript

@radist-tech/client

Signaling, WebRTC lifecycle, reconnection, and encrypted media and data channels.
