# Getting started

The Remote Control API allows you to manage your dashboard projects, use cases, configurations and many others directly from an API.

**You will need to :**

* First, create an application and select scopes you need [(How to it)](https://docs.developers.flagship.io/reference/authorization)
* Then generate a token from the auth server (with or without expiration time) [(How to do it)](https://docs.developers.flagship.io/reference/authorization)
* Finally, call the api with the token you previously generated

{% hint style="info" %}
📘 Each application you create will have permanent scope (for example : `campaign.create`). If you need to add more scope to your application, you will need to create an other application.

You can find this needed scope on the documentation of its route.
{% endhint %}

### Using the documentation

You can use the following documentation as a sandbox to execute requests on remote control API.\
To do this you have to be logged in :

* Add your api token in the `Authorization` section. Don't forget to add `Bearer` just before your token.
* Fill the form and then click on `Try it` to execute the request.

### Swagger version

This documentation is a mix between textual documentation and swagger documentation.

For development purposes, you can find the full swagger json documentation here : <https://api.flagship.io/docs/remote_control.json>.
