# Connecting your ERP system using the Simvia API
API keys allow you to integrate **Simvia** with your company’s ERP system. This enables automatic data exchange between both systems and reduces manual work.
Through an API connection, you can:
- Sync data between Simvia and your ERP system
- Create or manage document requests via your ERP
- Keep organisation, document, and request data aligned across systems
API access is typically used by companies with technical integration capabilities.

#### Creating an API key
To create an API key in Simvia:
1. Click on your **profile** in the top-right corner
2. Open **Account settings**
3. Navigate to **API keys**
4. Click **Create API key**
5. Enter a clear name for the key, for example the name of the ERP system
6. Click **Save**
After creating the key, a **Secret key** will be displayed.
### Important
The **Secret key is shown only once**.
Make sure to copy and store it securely. If it is lost, you will need to generate a new API key.
Once saved, the API key can be used by your technical team to configure the connection between Simvia and your ERP system.
---
#### Managing API keys
You can create multiple API keys if needed, for example:
- Separate keys for different systems
- Separate keys for testing and production environments
If a key is no longer needed, it can be revoked to immediately stop access.

#### Before you start
API integrations require technical implementation on your side. It is recommended that your IT team or integration partner handles the setup.
If you would like to explore API integration or need additional documentation, please contact the **Support team**.
