# Introduction

> Create and manage PlayAI agents via the API

PlayAI provides a simple and easy to use HTTP API to create and manage AI Agents.

After you create your agent, you can proceed to start a conversation using our [Websocket API](/api-reference/agents/websocket), or you can try it
out through our web interface at `https://play.ai/agent/<your-agent-id>`.

## Authentication

All API endpoints are authenticated using a User ID and API Key. After you have created an account and logged in, you
can get your API Key from the [For Developers](https://play.ai/api/keys) page.
