# Getting Started

Before starting, make sure to have access to an existent project (with an admin or developer role) or create a new [MBurger project](https://mburger.cloud/register).

After that, navigate to Settings > **API Keys** to create an auth token, which you will need to interact with the APIs.

{% hint style="info" %}
Be aware that for most use cases you should obtain an API key with **read** permission. If you will use creation or editing API you'll need to add **write** and **delete** permissions.
{% endhint %}

The MBurger API is organized around REST, resource-oriented URLs and JSON responses. It aims to facilitate the life of the developer offering a robust query and filtering system through URLs.

Use HTTPS when calling all methods.

All media files are served by the CloudFront CDN through `https://cdn.mburger.cloud`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Is highly suggested to familiarize yourself with the structure of an MBurger project and to **read** the [Common](https://docs.mburger.cloud/api-docs/common) section before start exploring the APIs documentation.
