Why do I need an API key?
To make the "API" term more understandable let us explain that it stands for an application programming interface key. It allows you to connect our or any app with the one you are using in a very direct and internal way. The API key often constitutes both a unique identifier and a secret token for authentication.
If you care for some details about how API works in a nutshell, just imagine that each app is written in a language that may be metaphorically compared to a socket. Now, to be able to communicate with this app, you need a plug-in that will fit. This is what you'll find here – a set of connectors and potential actions to let your Woodpecker plug into any other app.
If there is some information we forgot to mention, don't hesitate to let us know! All feedback helps us grow.
