# REST API Valohai is built on RESTful APIs, enabling programmatic access to all platform functionality. This API-first architecture allows you to automate workflows, build custom integrations, and orchestrate operations beyond the UI. For example, with API calls you can: * Build custom integrations * Trigger executions from CI/CD pipelines * Sync training metadata to internal dashboards * Programmatically manage your entire ML workflow. #### Next Steps * [Get started with Valohai APIs](/automation-overview/rest-api/getting-started.md) * [Examples](/automation-overview/rest-api/examples.md) for different use cases --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
