# Introduction

> A comprehensive guide to ToolRouter APIs

## Welcome

ToolRouter provides two types of API endpoints to serve different use cases:

### 1. Stack Specific Endpoints

These endpoints use stack tokens and are designed for application integration:

1. Create a new Stack in the dashboard
2. Click on "Use with API"
3. Click on "+ Create Secure Client"
4. Copy URL and Token
5. Use the URL and Token to connect your code to ToolRouter

### 2. Account Management API

These endpoints use API keys and provide programmatic control over your ToolRouter account:

1. Log into your [ToolRouter Dashboard](https://app.toolrouter.ai)
2. Navigate to your account settings
3. Generate a new API key
4. Use the API key to manage stacks, servers, and tools programmatically
