# Introduction Welcome to the vintrace API workspace! We’re thrilled that you want to explore the vintrace API. vintrace streamlines winery operations and captures data throughout every stage of production. Our API seamlessly integrates with other applications that you work with so that they can communicate with vintrace. Using the API, you’ll be able to get, add, or update your data in vintrace. The vintrace APIs are designed using one of the most popular API languages in the industry: [RESTful](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/best-practices/api-design). You can also export the APIs using the OpenAPI Specification for your development team.
# Getting Started Each vintrace customer has a different base API URL that’s in the format: `https://.vintrace.net/` For example, if your URL after logging into vintrace is: `https://oz50.vintrace.net/vinx2/` Your base API URL is: `https://oz50.vintrace.net/vinx2/api/` If you wanted to use the account API to create purchase orders, your API URL would be: https://oz50.vintrace.net/vinx2/api/v7/account/purchase-orders You might also want to [create a new API token](https://support.vintrace.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407443037711) for the user. The token’s permissions are bound to the [user’s permissions](https://support.vintrace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000813755-Roles-and-Permissions#Permissions).
