## Guides

Step-by-step guides to help you build, integrate, and optimize with our platform. Start coding faster with practical examples and best practices.

## [API Management](#api-management)

These guides cover how to authenticate, call, and integrate with the Trident APIs — from your first request through publishing and versioning practices. Start with Document APIs to make your first authenticated call, then review Publish APIs for environment promotion and release notes.

## Getting started

Document APIs

Discover best practices, tools, and examples to help developers understand and use your APIs with confidence.

## Frequently Asked Questions

How do I authenticate requests?

Every request requires an API key sent in the `x-api-key` header, along with `X-Origination-Source` and `X-Audit-UserId` headers for traceability. See the Document APIs guide for a full example.

How do the API environments differ?

The portal maintains separate API documents for `dev`, `uat`, `preprod`, and `production`. Production documentation is kept in sync with preprod. See the API Versioning guide for details.

Where can I see what changed in a recent deployment?

The Release Notes guide lists every production deployment by date, including whether it introduced breaking changes.
