## API Clients

Use the **API Clients** page to create and manage API credentials for integrating Dropship with your external systems. Each API client represents a system or application that needs secure, authenticated access to your account. After you create a client, you’ll receive a set of credentials, including a **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, used to authenticate API requests. For security reasons, the client secret can only be viewed once. If you need to access the client secret again, please submit a support ticket.
