# Creating API Keys

## Introduction to Groups API

You can integrate Groups into your platform or application with the help of our REST API. It allows you to carry out most of the functions that can be performed on Groups, such as managing sessions and users and creating reports.The API can be utilized in two ways:

* Direct access: You can directly call the API endpoints. We provide sample cURL commands throughout the documentation.
* _Software development kits (SDKs):_ We currently have an SDK for NodeJS and Pyhton SDK is on its way.

## API Keys

In order to create an API Key, first go to the Development section under Settings, and click the Create new API Key button.

After naming your API Key and press Create, you will see a window with your Access Key and Secret Key. <mark style="color:red;">**Make sure to copy your Secret Key to a safe location, since you will not be seeing it again.**</mark>

Compromise of your secret key may result in unauthorized access to your data. Make sure to store it in a safe location and never share it.
