# Quick Start

## Get your API key

Your API requests are authenticated using an API key. Any request that doesn't include an API key will return an error.

You can request an API key by emailing <dev@engineroom.com.au>

## Make your first request

To make your first request, send an authenticated request to the leads endpoint. This will create a `lead` in the EngineRoom platform.

## Create a new lead

> Create a new lead entry
