# Getting Started

The Datagram Organization API provides a collection of REST endpoints designed to retrieve essential organizational intelligence, such as aliases and usage statistics. These APIs allow seamless access to metadata and insights related to organization structures within the Datagram Network.

Authentication is performed via an API key, which must be included in each request header for access. The APIs are lightweight, secure, and ideal for both backend integrations and limited frontend use cases.

The Organization API is primarily designed to support:

* **Server-to-server** interactions, such as automated analytics pipelines or admin dashboards, where full access to organization data (aliases, usage statistics, etc.) is required.
* **Client-to-server** integrations where minimal data exposure is needed, such as public usage stats or alias lookups, under strict permission scopes to prevent unauthorized access.

By offering clear separation of roles and access levels, Datagram’s API design eliminates the need for proxy services in most applications. This accelerates integration and enhances the overall security of data exchange between clients and the Datagram platform.
