# API Explorer

The [Apideck API Explorer](https://developers.apideck.com/api-explorer) is a browser-based tool for testing Unified API requests against a live connector without writing code.

## What you can do

- Pick any Unified API (CRM, Accounting, HRIS, ATS, File Storage, E-commerce, Issue Tracking, Vault, Webhooks, Proxy, Connector)
- Choose a resource and operation from the OpenAPI spec
- Fill out request parameters with inline schema validation
- Execute against a real consumer connection and inspect the response

## Authentication

Sign in with an Apideck account and select a consumer connection from the dropdown. The explorer uses your account's API key and App ID automatically; no credentials need to be entered manually.

## Programmatic alternatives

The explorer is designed for exploratory testing. For scripted or agentic calls, use:

- [CLI](https://developers.apideck.com/cli.md) — every explorer operation is available as a command
- [SDKs](https://developers.apideck.com/sdks/node.md) — official SDKs for Node.js, Python, .NET, PHP, Java, Go
- [MCP Server](https://developers.apideck.com/mcp.md) — tool-call interface for AI agents
