# API

Also you can check the status of the systems [here](https://status.caleida.io/)

## Accessing to more advanced documentation

You can access [here](https://api.caleida.io/) to all the API documentation.

## 1. Get an API Key

The first thing you need to do is to get an API Key. To do this go to **Advanced Integrations and** click on configuration in **API** in the Caleida Dasboard.

Once here give it a name and copy it or write it down in a safe place. You will not be able to see this key again in full from the Caleida website.

## 3. Authorize your API

Under "Enter URL or paste text", click on "Authorization" and in the drop down menu select "API Key".

Now we will fill in the fields:

* **Key:** API Name (use the same one you gave in Caleida).
* **Value:** Paste the API Key you copied from the Caleida website.
* **Add to:** Make sure you add it to "Header".

## 4. Configure and send a request

Once the API is authorized, we will configure the request. Make sure it is a "GET" request and enter the link [https://core.api.caleida.io/chats/records/{chat\_id}/](https://core.api.caleida.io/chats/records/%7Bchat_id%7D/) (where {chat\_id} represents the ID of the chat you wish to access).

For example, if your chat ID is 12345, the URL would be <https://core.api.caleida.io/chats/records/12345/>

### 4.1 Get the Chat ID
