A Source is a website, server library, mobile SDK, or cloud application which can send data into Segment. It’s where your data originates. Add a Source to collect data to understand who your customers are and how they’re using your product. Create a source for each website or app you want to track. While it's not required that you have a single source for each server, site, or app, you should create a source for each unique source of data.

Each source you create has a write key, which is used to send data to that source. For example, to load [`analytics.js`, the Segment JavaScript library](https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/website/javascript/) on your page, the snippet on the [Quickstart Guide](https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/website/javascript/quickstart/) includes:
Web, Mobile, and Server sources send first-party data from your digital properties. Cloud-app sources send data about your users from your connected web apps such as [Zendesk](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/cloud-apps/zendesk/), [Stripe](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/cloud-apps/stripe/), and [Braze](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/cloud-apps/braze/).
