# Open API Keys

In the Open API Keys section, you can obtain API keys that will facilitate the integration of third-party services with the CRM. These API keys serve as authentication credentials, allowing authorized access to the CRM's functionality and data.

Additionally, within the Open API Keys section, you can also view the host information. The host refers to the server or network location where the CRM is hosted. This information is helpful for configuring the integration settings correctly and ensuring a seamless connection between the CRM and the integrated third-party services.
