Developer API allows your internal apps and systems to connect to Kitehouse. You can go to <https://kitehouse.co.uk/docs/api-reference> to learn about the API endpoints that are available for use.

## Creating a Developer API Key

You'll need an API Key coming from Site Settings to authorise requests. To create one, follow the steps below:

### Create an app

Create an app by giving it a name and click the '**Create app'** button. Copy the authorization key given and store it somewhere safe.
