# Loomio integrations API

We have a simple API. With each API Key, there is a documentation page that includes working examples of how to use your API key.
As of October 2023 we have a new API. It's very similar to the last API, except it uses normal user accounts rather than per group API keys.

To view the documentation for your API key follow these steps to create an API Key for your group:
Each user of Loomio has an API key, there is a documentation page that includes working examples of how to use your API key.

## Create an API Key
It's likely you'll have a user account just for API requests - to ensure that a user account is not invited to polls and discussions, visit the profile page and select "This is a bot account".

As a group admin, on your Loomio group page, click the settings dropdown menu and then click API Keys
## See the documentation

Add a new integration
![](click_add_integration.png)

Give your integration a name, and select what it will be permitted to do within your group.

After you save it, you can view the documentation for your API Key

It will look something like this:

## See the documentation without an API key

Here a link to the documentation, with a bogus API key. We recommend you follow the steps above to get working examples.
