# Mintlify API
Use the Mintlify API to manage documentation sites programmatically. This skill covers deployment management, build triggers, and site metadata queries.
## Authentication
All API requests require an API key passed in the `Authorization` header:
```
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>
```
Generate API keys from the [Mintlify dashboard](https://app.mintlify.com) under Settings > API Keys.
## Core capabilities
### Trigger deployments
Programmatically trigger a documentation rebuild when your codebase changes outside of Git push events.
### Query site metadata
Retrieve information about your documentation site including deployment status, configured domains, and navigation structure.
### Manage preview deployments
Create and manage preview deployments for pull requests and branches to review documentation changes before they go live.
