# API Access

In order to access all functionality in the API you will need an `API key`. This key will provided to you by your [Customer Success Manager](mailto:support@loop54.com).

The API is divided in two sections, [user initiated](https://docs.loop54.com/latest/api/docs.html#tag/User-initiated) and [administrative](https://docs.loop54.com/latest/api/docs.html#tag/Administrative) calls. As the names suggest, the user initiated calls are typically triggered by users on your site and the administrative calls are calls that administer protected functionality that users should not have access to.
