# How to integrate with the Shortcut API

## Before you start, you’ll need:

- A Shortcut account ([you can create one here](https://www.shortcut.com/signup)). 

## Do your first API call

- Connect your Shortcut account through [Vault](https://platform.apideck.com/vault) with a test session.

- To test the access token, make a call to the [`List labels`](https://api.app.shortcut.com/api/v3/labels) endpoint using the [Proxy API](https://developers.apideck.com/apis/proxy/reference).

```
curl --location --request GET 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
--header 'x-apideck-consumer-id: test-consumer' \
--header 'x-apideck-app-id: {APIDECK_APP_ID}' \
--header 'x-apideck-service-id: shortcut' \
--header 'x-apideck-downstream-url: https://api.app.shortcut.com/api/v3/labels' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {APIDECK_API_KEY}'
```
