Note: this video requires an understanding of JSON. If you are not familiar with JSON, please go through our course on making API calls.

The API reference documentation is the source of truth any time you are making Klaviyo API calls. Once you are comfortable navigating the API documentation, you can use APIs to manipulate any data in your Klaviyo account and have a solid foundational knowledge of how to develop with Klaviyo.
