# API integration flow

The following flow demonstrates how your applications can be integrated using the REST API.

Caution: Some resources are technical preview, and subject to change until declared public. You have access to them, but only at a technical preview level.

In this topic:

## Set up API access

Set up API access once for each application that will communicate as a client. This grants the application registered access keys to use for authentication. Two keys are created: Client ID and Client secret.

To get started, open the Settings menu , click Spaces, and select a shared space. In the API Access tab, click the API Access button .

For details, see API access.

## Authenticate and sign in

APIs must be authenticated to work with OpenText Software Delivery Management, and the API must sign in. For details, see Authentication.

## Perform actions

When signed in, your APIs can work with entities and relations. OpenText Software Delivery Management is an entity-relationship application and supports the basic CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

Some of the actions your APIs can perform are:

- Creating items, such as defects, application modules, and pipelines.

- Deleting items.

- Updating items.

- Querying items.

To get started, see Interactive API client and REST API calls.

## Sign out

The sign_out resource logs the user out of the session and cancels (expires) cookies.

For details, see sign_out.
