# Quickstart

> Install the Python SDK, authenticate, and search decrypted Vued meeting memory.

## Install

```bash theme={null}
pip install vued
export VUED_API_KEY="vued_live_..."
export VUED_ORG_ID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
```

Open and unlock Vued Desktop before calling methods that return decrypted meetings, transcripts, or file names.

## Create a client

```python theme={null}
import os
from vued import Vued

client = Vued(
    api_key=os.environ["VUED_API_KEY"],
    org_id=os.environ["VUED_ORG_ID"],
)
```

## Search meeting memory

```python theme={null}
from vued import VuedLocalUnavailableError

try:
    results = client.search("customer renewal risk", limit=5)
except VuedLocalUnavailableError:
    raise SystemExit("Open and unlock Vued Desktop.")

meeting_id = results["items"][0]["meeting"]["id"]
meeting = client.get_meeting(meeting_id)

print(meeting["meeting"]["title"])
print(meeting["transcript"]["text"])
```

## Create cloud resources

```python theme={null}
folder = client.create_file(
    name="Customer calls",
    type="folder",
    visibility="restricted",
)

room = client.create_room(
    display_name="Conference Room",
    microphone_id="tablet-01",
)
```

## Next steps

* Use [Cloud vs. local](/concepts/cloud-vs-local) to choose the right access path.
* Use [Python SDK](/sdk/python) for method details.
* Use [Local MCP](/agents/local-mcp) when a coding agent needs decrypted transcript search.
