# init

#### init

Initializes the API connection with the embedded model. Must be called before using any other API methods.

#### Signature

```typescript
init(): Promise<void>
```

#### Parameters

None.

#### Returns

`Promise<void>` - Resolves when the connection is established and the model is ready.

#### Usage

```javascript
import { VctrModelApi } from "https://app.vectary.com/studio-lite/scripts/api.js";

const api = new VctrModelApi("vectary-embed");
await api.init();

// Now you can use other API methods
const objects = await api.getObjects();
```

#### Notes

* Always `await` this method before calling other API methods
* Each iframe requires its own API instance and `init()` call
* The Promise resolves when the model has finished loading
