# Introduction

The primary use of the DevHub API is to automate the provisioning of [websites](https://www.devhub.com/multisite-platform/), [landing pages](https://www.devhub.com/landing-pages/) and other web experiences that you can produce within the DevHub platform. But it can also be used to sync location and business data from external systems with existing sites or alternatively used to pull reporting and active site data for use in your reporting dashboards.

The DevHub API is organized around [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer). Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts [JSON-encoded](http://www.json.org/) request bodies, returns [JSON-encoded](http://www.json.org/) responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.
