# API Credentials
## Register your application
{% hint style="warning" %}
Handle your client secret with care. You can revoke and replace generated credentials in case they get compromised. Public applications that are not able to securely store a secret, e.g. native / mobile or single-page web applications, should use the [Authorization Code Flow with PKCE](/api/authentication/authorization-code-flow-with-pkce.md) or [Implicit Flow](/api/authentication/implicit-flow.md).
{% endhint %}
In order for your application to access any of our products or APIs, you must first register your application using the [Loom AI developer portal](https://developer.loomai.com/).
Registration will provide you with a pair of client id and client secret that you can use to authorise your application or service using one of the various [oauth2 authentication flows](/api/authentication.md) we are supporting.
