# Getting Started

## Getting your API Key

You can get an API key from [the user settings page in your Ad Reform account.](https://app.adreform.com/users/api_keys)

{% hint style="info" %}
Anyone with this API Key can use the Ad Reform API as if they were you. If it is compromised, you can create a new key and delete the old one from [your settings page](https://app.adreform.com/users/api_keys).
{% endhint %}

## Sending your first API call

You must set the following request headers when making API calls:

```shell
Content-Type: "application/json"
Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

You will also need your organization’s `slug`, which will be passed along within request URLs.

You can find this in your browser’s URL bar when using the web UI:

## How it works

The Ad Reform API consists of two parts: a REST API to process requests, and outgoing webhooks to send out results.
