# What should I do with my API key?

What is the purpose of the API key available on my Signitic account.

An **API key** is used to **authenticate** and **identify** an application or a user who wishes to access an API (Application Programming Interface).

Your **API key** enables you, for example, to **retrieve the list of users**, **update their information**, or even **deploy signatures**.

You can also set up a connection with your ITSM to update user data based on your users’ attributes.

> **Warning:** **Before any integration**, it is important to contact the team in charge of the software used internally (such as your HRIS tool) in order to verify whether it is compatible with an external API. Not all software solutions offer direct interconnection via API.
