# Lovable API

> Learn what the Lovable API is, what it enables, and how to get started building apps programmatically with Lovable.

The **Lovable API** makes it possible to create and share Lovable apps programmatically — turning ideas, prompts, or even images into fully-generated applications with a single link.

It’s designed for developers, creators, and teams who want to **integrate Lovable into their workflows** or **automate app generation** from anywhere on the web.

## What is the Lovable API?

The Lovable API is a growing suite of features that extend what you can do with Lovable beyond the web interface.

The first release, [**Build with URL**](https://docs.lovable.dev/integrations/build-with-url), allows you to generate apps directly from a shareable URL.

With it, you can:

* Embed **Build with Lovable** buttons on your site or app.
* Share app-generating links with teammates or customers.
* Integrate Lovable app creation into internal tools or scripts.
* Prototype instantly from a single link.

## Why use the Lovable API?

* **Automation:** Trigger app creation from code, dashboards, or workflows.
* **Integration:** Bring Lovable into your own product experience.
* **Speed:** Generate and share new app ideas faster than ever.
* **Shareability:** URLs make collaboration simple and frictionless.

## What’s next for the Lovable API?

This is just the beginning. The Lovable API will continue to expand with more endpoints and integration options, giving you greater control over how Lovable fits into your development and automation workflows.
