# Quick Start Guide

You can sign up for a free Baselime account here.

You can add an environment by connecting your cloud account, or by creating an environment manually to send data manually to Baselime.

If you created an environment manually, execute this cURL command to send your first log event to Baselime.

Replace your BASELIME_API_KEY with the API key your got from step 2.

curl -X 'POST' 'https://events.baselime.io/v1/lambda-logs/default/test-namespace' \
  -H 'x-api-key: $BASELIME_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '[
        {
          "message": "This is an example log event",
          "data": {"key1": "an example metadata"}
        }
      ]'

Congratulations! Your first event should be available to query in Baselime. You can start exploring your data using the Baselime console, the Baselime CLI or any other of our clients.
