# ER:LC API Documentation

> Build integrations for ER:LC private servers. Fetch live server data, execute commands remotely, and receive real-time event webhooks.

The Private Server API lets you build external applications that interact with your Emergency Response: Liberty County (ER:LC) private server.

## Get started in minutes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Purchase the ERLC API pack">
    The API is available to any server that has purchased the **ERLC API** server pack.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get your server key">
    Join your private server, open **Settings**, and search for **API key** under the ER:LC API section. Copy the key — you will need it for every request.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make your first request">
    Send a GET request to `https://api.erlc.gg/v2/server` with your server key in the `server-key` header to fetch live server status.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore the full API">
    Browse the [v2 API Reference](/api-reference) to discover all available endpoints, or set up [Event Webhooks](/event-webhooks) for real-time notifications.
  </Step>
