# Quickstart

> Process your first document and export a dataset in under 5 minutes.

## Prerequisites

* Node.js 18+
* A FlexOrch account and API key — generate one under **Settings → API Keys**

***

## Install

```bash theme={null}
npm install flexorch-sdk
```

***

## Full example

```typescript theme={null}
import { FlexOrchClient } from 'flexorch-sdk';
import { writeFile } from 'node:fs/promises';

const client = new FlexOrchClient(process.env.FLEXORCH_API_KEY!);

// 1 — Upload and process a document
const job = await client.process('invoice.pdf');
console.log(job.id);      // "job_abc123"

// 2 — Wait for the pipeline to finish
const done = await job.wait({ timeout: 120 });
console.log(done.status);        // "completed"
console.log(done.qualityGrade);  // "A"

// 3 — Build a dataset from this job
const response = await client.datasets.list({ pageSize: 1 });
// or build directly via REST — see Datasets page

// 4 — Export as JSONL for fine-tuning
const dataset = await client.datasets.get('ds_xyz');
const bytes = await dataset.export('jsonl');
await writeFile('output.jsonl', bytes);

console.log('Done — output.jsonl written');
```

***

## Error handling

```typescript theme={null}
import {
  FlexOrchClient,
  JobFailedError,
  JobTimeoutError,
  QuotaError,
} from 'flexorch-sdk';

const client = new FlexOrchClient();

try {
  const job = await client.process('document.pdf');
  const done = await job.wait({ timeout: 120 });
  console.log(done.qualityGrade);
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof JobFailedError) {
    console.error('Processing failed:', err.reason);
  } else if (err instanceof JobTimeoutError) {
    console.error('Timed out waiting for job:', err.jobId);
  } else if (err instanceof QuotaError) {
    console.error('Credit quota exceeded — upgrade your plan');
  } else {
    throw err;
  }
}
```
