# How to register an app

{% hint style="success" %}
Developers can manage their app settings and get API keys at <https://simkl.com/settings/developer/>
{% endhint %}

We’ve worked very hard to make [Simkl](https://simkl.com/) the dream "TV, Anime and Movie Tracker". However, chances are it doesn’t do 100% of what you need it to do. Luckily for you, we added an API so you can extend Simkl’s functionality.

### See full API documentation at <https://api.simkl.com>

### Before You Start

To successfully start using Simkl API, you need to:

1. [**Sign up for a Simkl account**](https://passport.simkl.com/register/).
2. [**Create a new app in your account**](https://simkl.com/settings/developer/new/) to get your API key (`client_id`).
3. [**Join the Discord Server to chat**](https://discord.gg/MJsWNE4)\
   \
   Join the [community](https://discord.gg/MJsWNE4) to talk, learn about and discuss the Simkl APIs. Or DM directly on Discord.
