> The Astalty REST API: setting up an API key, authenticating, the available endpoints, and how pagination, filtering and sorting work.

The **Astalty API** is a JSON REST API for reading and managing supported account data from an integration or automation.

The Account Owner can open the API Dashboard and can grant another Admin the same access. See [Grant API Key and Webhook Access](https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/roles-and-permissions#granting-api-key-and-webhook-access).
