# HoopAI Developer Platform

> Build integrations, automate workflows, and create custom experiences on the HoopAI platform.

<div className="dev-home" />

Build on HoopAI's REST API to sync data, trigger automations, and create custom client experiences. Follow the steps below to get started, or jump directly to the [API Reference](/api-reference/introduction).

## Get started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your API key">
    Generate a private API key from **Settings → Integrations → API Keys**. This token authenticates all your API requests.

    [Get your API key →](/developer/getting-started/api-keys)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your Location ID">
    Your Location ID identifies your account in every API request. Find it in **Settings → Business Profile**.

    [Find your Location ID →](/developer/getting-started/location-id)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make your first request">
    Test your credentials with a single API call — fetch your contacts list in under a minute.

    [Run your first request →](/developer/getting-started/first-request)
  </Step>
</Steps>
