# Introduction Welcome to Universify's API! This guide walks you through the basic topics you should consider when integrating with Universify. ### Do you have an Universify API key? If the answer is no, please log on to your Universify dashboard with your organization's admin email and create an API key. {% hint style="info" %} Once you have an API key created, you can test it by hitting our authorization endpoint. {% endhint %} ### Using the API key? To interact with the Universify API, you will need to issue an HTTP request and each request will need to be authenticated using the **Universify API key**. Our examples in the documentation are shown in cURL command form, where the commands are executed via a terminal. This is an example of an HTTP request in the form of a cURL command, which includes a `` and you will need to input your preferred ``, ``, and `` (optional): ```shell curl -L -X 'https://api.universify.in/api/v1/' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'x-api-key: ' \ --data-raw '' ``` If you are not familiar with cURL commands, we recommend using the following tools to send test API requests to Onfleet: * [Postman](https://www.getpostman.com/) * [Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest/)
