+# Build API clients for Dart
+
+In this tutorial, you build a sample app in Dart that calls a REST API that doesn't require authentication.
+
+## Required tools
+
+- [Dart SDK 3.6 or above](https://dart.dev/get-dart)
+
+## Create a project
+
+Run the following commands in the directory where you want to create a new project.
+
+```bash
+dart create -t console cli
+```
+
+## Add dependencies
+
+Before you can compile and run the generated API client, you need to make sure the generated source files are part of a project with the required dependencies. Your project must have a reference to the [bundle package](https://github.com/microsoft/kiota-dart). For more information about Kiota dependencies, see [the dependencies documentation](../dependencies.md).
+
+Run the following commands to get the required dependencies.
+
+```bash
+dart pub add microsoft_kiota_bundle
+```
+
+## Generate the API client
+
+Kiota generates API clients from OpenAPI documents. Create a file named **posts-api.yml** and add the following.
+
+:::code language="yaml" source="~/code-snippets/get-started/quickstart/posts-api.yml":::
+
+This file is a minimal OpenAPI description that describes how to call the `/posts` endpoint in the [JSONPlaceholder REST API](https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/).
+
+You can then use the Kiota command line tool to generate the API client classes.
+
+```bash
+kiota generate -l dart -d posts-api.yml -c PostsClient -o ./client
+```
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Add [`--exclude-backward-compatible`](../using.md#--exclude-backward-compatible---ebc)
+> if you want to reduce the size of the generated client and are not concerned about
+> potentially source breaking changes with future versions of Kiota when updating the client.
+
+## Create the client application
+
+Create a file in the root of the project named **index.ts** and add the following code.
+
+:::code language="dart" source="~/code-snippets/get-started/quickstart/dart/bin/cli.dart" id="ProgramSnippet":::
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The [JSONPlaceholder REST API](https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/) doesn't require any authentication, so this sample uses the **AnonymousAuthenticationProvider**. For APIs that require authentication, use an applicable authentication provider.
+
+## Run the application
+
+To start the application, run the following command in your project directory.
+
+```bash
+dart run
+```
+
