# Introduction

The Storyblok Management API allows you to create, edit, update, and delete content using a common interface. It is organized around REST. Our API has predictable, resource-oriented URLs and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. We use built-in HTTP features, like HTTP query parameters and HTTP verbs, which are understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients. We support cross-origin resource sharing, allowing you to interact securely with our API from a client-side web application (you should never expose your secret API key in any public website’s client-side code). JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors. Our API libraries convert responses to appropriate language-specific objects.

Requests can be performed using your own API Authentication Token that you can obtain from your profile [in the Storyblok application](http://app.storyblok.com/#!/me/account).
