# TheAltening API TheAltening API gives your launcher, bot, or alt manager a straightforward way to talk to your account. You call simple URLs, include your API key as a query parameter, and get clean JSON back that any script can parse. Most folks use it to generate tokens and pass them straight into their app, quickly validate a token before using it, read basic account details like plan and expiry for gating features, and check that the service is healthy before a run. Requests are standard GET calls with query parameters. Responses are consistent JSON objects so you can wire this up in whatever language or framework you already use.
