# Introductory guide to APIs

Connect Finalcad One to your existing tools, centralize your data and automate your processes

The Finalcad One public API can handle tons of things for your organization by letting you connect and share info between Finalcad One and your different tools using our endpoints and webhooks. This means you can:

-   **connect** Finalcad One easily to your existing tools
    
-   **centralize** your data
    
-   **automate** your processes to save time and avoid mistakes and things being forgotten

You can:

-   grab info from Finalcad One to send it to your other tools (GET)
    
-   send info to Finalcad One (POST)
    
-   automatically delete info from Finalcad One (DELETE)
