# How to Access the ORIV API

> Access the ORIV Public API to provision servers, deploy sites, and automate your workflows. A step-by-step guide to creating your API token.

The ORIV API gives you programmatic access to the ORIV Platform. Developers, e-commerce store owners, and development agencies can use it to integrate server operations, run application tasks, and automate the workflows behind their servers.

Instead of checking server stats or managing your VPS by hand, you can perform these tasks with a few simple commands, then build the dashboards, alerts, and integrations that fit how you already work.

## **Key benefits of using the ORIV API:**

* **Full Platform Access:** Run the same server and site operations available on the dashboard.
* **Seamless Integration:** Connect ORIV to your existing tools and pipelines.
* **Automation:** Run restarts, deployments, and routine tasks without manual effort.
* **Real-Time Insights:** Monitor CPU, RAM, disk space, and network traffic on demand.
* **Custom Dashboards:** Build your own views on top of live server data.
* **Scoped Permissions:** Control access with read and write tokens for servers and sites.
* **Bulk Management:** Manage multiple servers and sites in one workflow.

### **Step 1: Navigate to API Settings**

First, go to your ORIV dashboard. Navigate to the left-hand sidebar menu, select Settings, and then click on the ‘Developers’ option from the left side menu and click on the ‘API Tokens’ option. Within the API tokens interface, click the Create New Token button.
