# Getting Started

The API can be set up and used in a few quick steps. Check out our guides below.

The Culture Amp API is a RESTful interface for interacting and exchanging data with the Culture Amp platform.

## Need to Knows

* The API is protected and requires clients to be authenticated via the [OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/client-credentials-flow)
* For help with API errors or technical issues please contact [Culture Amp Support](https://support.cultureamp.com/en/)
* To check currently available data & operations, please check our [API Reference Documentation](https://docs.api.cultureamp.com/reference/welcome) which also offers guides on schemas and expected responses.
* Our Open API Specification can be found here [Culture Amp Public API Spec](https://api.cultureamp.com/spec).

## Partner and Customer API Guides

We offer two separate access and development pathways to the API for Customers and Partners.
