+While you can use any HTTP client with the Apify REST API, our official API clients for [JavaScript](/api/client/js/) and [Python](/api/client/python/) offer built-in best practices like exponential backoff and rate limiting.

 ## API token
 
 To access the Apify API in your integrations, you need to authenticate using your secret API token. You can find it on the [Integrations](https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations) page in Apify Console. Give your token a reasonable description, and never use one token for several services, much like you shouldn't use the same password for different accounts.
