# Introduction

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** The Panora API is only available to **Elite Plan users** with a valid API key and whitelisted Roblox games.
{% endhint %}

The Panora API allows you to programmatically perform actions such as:

* Automating **rank promotions** via the Rank Center
* Managing **applications and promotions** with the Application Center
* Tracking **user activity** and sending logs to Discord
* Accessing and managing your **API keys** securely

***

### **Base URL**

All API requests are made to:

```
https://api.panora.cc
```

Requests to the API require HTTPS and proper authentication via your API key.

***

### **Authentication**

All endpoints require an API Key to access. API Keys act as a secret token that identifies and authorizes your workspace. Keep your key secure — it’s the equivalent of a password.

**Authentication method:**

* Include your API Key in the request header:

```
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>
```

* Your API Key can be found in the **Panora Dashboard → ELITE → Panora API** tab.

> 🔐 Treat your API Key like a password. Reset it immediately if it is ever exposed.

***

### **Requirements**

Before using the API, ensure you have:

1. An **active Elite Plan**
2. Access to the **Panora Dashboard** and your workspace
3. **Whitelisted Roblox games** (via Universal ID) for your API key
4. A valid **API Key** generated from the dashboard

***

### **Rate Limits & Best Practices**

* Respect request limits to avoid being temporarily blocked.
* Batch actions where possible (e.g., multiple rank updates).
* Always validate responses to handle errors gracefully.

***

### **Error Handling**

The API returns standard HTTP response codes:

<table><thead><tr><th width="101">Code</th><th>Meaning</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>200</td><td>Success</td></tr><tr><td>400</td><td>Bad Request</td></tr><tr><td>401</td><td>Unauthorized (invalid API Key)</td></tr><tr><td>403</td><td>Forbidden (API Key not whitelisted for this game)</td></tr><tr><td>404</td><td>Not Found</td></tr><tr><td>500</td><td>Server Error (This is a service issue, contact our team to make us aware)</td></tr></tbody></table>

> Each endpoint also provides a descriptive message in the response body for easier debugging.

***

### **Next Steps**

From here, you can explore:

* **API Keys** → Learn how to generate, manage, and whitelist keys
* **Ranker Endpoint** → Automate rank promotions in your Roblox group
* **Activity Tracking Module** → Track player activity and send logs to Discord
