# Getting Started

The Med2Lab Client API is meant for situations where you want to interact with your own Med2Lab account programmatically, often to integrate with other systems. We use REST for our core API requests.

In the following sections, we will show you how to:

1. [Generate API Keys](/med2lab-api/api-authentication/oauth-flow.md) to authorize requests to Med2Lab's API
2. [Make calls to Med2Lab's API endpoints](/med2lab-api/api-reference.md) (with REST )
