# Introduction

> Getting started with the Riverside Business API.

## What's it for

The Riverside Business API helps save manual effort by programmatically allowing your team to get recording media and exported edits out of your Riverside account, and delete what's no longer needed. Also, the API can be used to register audience members to Riverside Webinars.

## Authentication

Currently the Business API is for select Business accounts only. Speak to your customer success manager for more information on how to generate your API key.

All API requests require authentication via a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

```bash theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

## Versioning

The current version of the API is **v3**. We recommend using v3 for all new integrations.

<Warning>
  **API v1 and v2 are deprecated.** Please migrate to v3.
</Warning>

| Version | Status      | Sunset Date  | Base URL   |
| ------- | ----------- | ------------ | ---------- |
| v3      | **Current** | -            | `/api/v3/` |
| v2      | Deprecated  | Feb 24, 2026 | `/api/v2/` |
| v1      | Deprecated  | Feb 24, 2026 | `/api/v1/` |

## Hierarchy

Riverside's user dashboard is organized into a hierarchy that helps keep media resources organized for traversal:

```md theme={null}
Production
├─ Studio
│  ├─ Project
│  │  ├─ Recording
│  │  │  ├─ Track
│  │  │  │  ├─ File
│  │  ├─ Export
```

> While the Riverside user dashboard also contains `Edits`, these are currently not supported in the Riverside API (are available only after exporting).
