# Getting Started

Stridge exposes a single REST API at `https://api.stridge.com/v1`. Call it from any backend or browser via HTTPS — typed SDKs will ship alongside these docs when they reach stable release.

:::::steps

### Get an API key

Create an account and generate an API key in the [Stridge Dashboard](https://beta.dashboard.stridge.com). Keep it server-side — it grants full access to your account.

### Pick your integration

* **Backend** — call the REST API from your stack ([API reference](/api-reference)), using `fetch`, `axios`, or your HTTP client of choice.
* **Frontend** — proxy authenticated calls through your backend; use the [Gateway Kit](/gateway) for hosted deposit flows in the browser.
* **DeFi / in-app payments** — use the [Stridge Gateway Kit](/gateway) for any-to-any payments.

### Make a request

Every API request includes your key in the `X-API-Key` header.

```bash
curl -X GET 'https://api.stridge.com/v1/wallets' \
  -H 'X-API-Key: your_api_key_here'
```

```ts
const response = await fetch('https://api.stridge.com/v1/wallets', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': process.env.STRIDGE_API_KEY! },
})
```

:::::

## Next

* Explore the [API reference](/api-reference) for every endpoint and payload shape.
* Read about [Security](/security) and how the Stridge KMS signs transactions.

:::warning
Never ship your API key in client-side code. For browser/mobile apps, proxy calls through your own backend.
