# Aster API

The Aster API lets you connect your account programmatically and manage operations securely using API keys.

### **1. Create an API Key**

Generate an API key from your account settings. During setup you can configure IP whitelisting and set permissions — read access, write access, or both.

#### **2. Explore the API Documentation**

Once you have an API key, you can begin making authenticated requests. The API documentation includes request formats, parameters, and response examples.
