# Description

REST APIs are the backbone of SailPoint—even our UI heavily uses our APIs, and so everything we do is API-driven. You can also leverage these APIs in your business to create unique business process or applications that further simplify your life. This session is all about how to make that first API call, and to setup an environment where you can easily explore APIs to help you develop new applications.
