# API credentials Triggering and querying remote actions and enrichment features using Nexthink API gives you the flexibility to create integrations from external applications such as ServiceNow. Using APIs helps remove complexity as IT teams won’t have to access multiple consoles to carry out their work. API credentials provide authentication based on OAuth client credentials, which you can manage directly in the Nexthink web interface. Visit the [Nexthink API](https://developer.nexthink.com/) portal for more information about how to set up API credentials. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
