# PandaDoc API Reference

The PandaDoc API offers a wide range of endpoints that let you automate document workflows, build custom integrations, or even embed the PandaDoc Editor into your application.

It follows REST standards, using clear, resource-based URLs, standard HTTP methods, response codes, and secure authentication. With the PandaDoc API, you can create, send, and manage documents efficiently.

## Getting started

You can start testing PandaDoc API with a sandbox key on our [Enterprise](https://www.pandadoc.com/pricing/) plan, either active or in trial.

Generate your [sandbox key](https://developers.pandadoc.com/reference/sandbox-key) on the Developer Dashboard with predefined [rate limits](https://developers.pandadoc.com/reference/limits). Or contact our solutions expert if you work with high-transaction volumes.
