# Glossary of Terms

> Definitions of key terms and concepts used in the Videnly API and documentation.

### API (Application Programming Interface)

An interface that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. The Videnly API provides endpoints for generating, editing, and managing videos programmatically.

### API Key

A unique key used to authenticate requests to the Videnly API. This key is required in the `Authorization` header of every API request to validate the user’s access.

### API Request

A call made to the Videnly API to perform an action, such as generating a video or retrieving account information. Each request must be properly formatted and authenticated with an API key.

### Authorization Header

A part of the HTTP request that includes credentials for authentication. For Videnly, it contains the API key in the format: `Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`.

### Bearer Token

A type of access token that is included in the `Authorization` header of an HTTP request to authenticate access to the Videnly API. The format is: `Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`.

### Callback URL

A URL provided by the client application where the API sends responses or notifications, often used in webhooks to receive data or notifications when certain events occur.

### Credits

The currency used within Videnly to pay for API requests. Each API action, like generating a video, consumes a certain number of credits. Users can monitor their credits through the dashboard.

### Dashboard

The central control panel for managing your Videnly account, including generating API keys, creating video templates, monitoring API usage, and managing your subscription.

### Project

A configuration within Videnly used to organize and manage videos by categories like niche, channel, and more. Each project contains settings and parameters that Videnly uses to generate AI-powered videos, allowing for customization of content, style, and scheduling options.

### Endpoint

A specific URL path that allows access to a particular function of the Videnly API, such as generating videos or retrieving account details.

### Endpoint Method

Specifies the type of operation to be performed on a given resource. Common methods include `GET` (to retrieve data), `POST` (to create or update data), and `DELETE` (to remove data).

### Error Codes

Codes returned by the API in response to a request that indicate the success or failure of the request. Common error codes include `403 Forbidden` for insufficient credits and `404 Not Found` for missing resources.

### HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

The protocol used for transmitting data over the web. All requests to the Videnly API are made over HTTP.

### HTTP Status Codes

Codes returned by the server in response to an API request, indicating the success or failure of the request. Examples include `200 OK`, `403 Forbidden`, `404 Not Found`, and `500 Internal Server Error`.

### JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

A lightweight data-interchange format used to structure API requests and responses in a readable format. Videnly uses JSON for its API request bodies and responses.

### No-Code Integration

A method of integrating Videnly's API with third-party tools (like Zapier) without writing code, allowing users to automate workflows and generate videos based on predefined templates.

### Rate Limit

The maximum number of API requests that can be made within a certain period. Rate limits vary depending on the user's subscription plan.

### Project ID

A unique identifier assigned to each project created within the Videnly dashboard. Required for making API requests that reference a specific project, allowing users to manage and organize videos by niche, channel, and other categories.

### Queue ID

A unique identifier assigned to each queued video generation request. Used to track the status and progress of individual video generation tasks within Videnly’s system.

### Usage Monitoring

The process of tracking API usage, including the number of requests made, credits consumed, and remaining balance, accessible through the dashboard.

### Whitelisting

A security measure that involves explicitly allowing certain API keys, IP addresses, or domains to access specific API endpoints or resources.
