Installation

Add the widget by adding these script tags into your site’s <head>...<head/> tag.

    window.mintlifyWidgetSettings = {
        connection: {
            apiKey: 'Your API key here'
        },
    };
</script>
<script>
    (function () {
        if (!document.getElementById('mintlify-widget')) {
            var script = document.createElement('script');
            script.id = 'mintlify-widget';
            script.src = 'https://unpkg.com/@mintlify/widget@^0';
            script.onload = () => MintlifyWidget.init();
            document.head.appendChild(script);
        }
    })();
</script>

<MintlifyWidget
    connection={{
        apiKey: 'Your API key here',
    }}
