# Patchworks API

## Introduction

As you'd expect from a [MACH Alliance member](https://machalliance.org/), the Core Patchworks platform is API-driven - every action performed from the dashboard is associated with an API request.

The Patchworks Core API is available as a public Postman collection.

{% hint style="info" %}
Access to the API is determined by your [Patchworks Core subscription tier](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/~/changes/J8IbZkP6ASUZu2oBhGi2/getting-started/core-subscription-tiers). 
{% endhint %}
