# Quickstart

> Make your first OpenLight Public API request

Start with a read-only request to confirm that your token is valid and that your account can access the expected role surface.

```bash theme={null}
export OPENLIGHT_API_TOKEN="your_api_token"

curl https://app.openlight.tech/api/creator/v1/brands \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENLIGHT_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"
```

A successful response returns the resources directly. List endpoints include pagination metadata when more results are available.

Next, choose the API group that matches your integration:

* Creator API for creator workflows.
* Seller API for seller and operator workflows.

Keep tokens out of client-side code. Route browser-based integrations through your backend so tokens can stay private.
