POAP is a protocol for the preservation of memories as digital records, minted as non-fungible tokens on the blockchain under the ERC-721 standard.

The POAP platform offers numerous functionalities exposed through an API. Everyone is free to use POAP's API to obtain information regarding POAPs minted, drops created, etc.

Additionally, you can use the API to create your applications on top of POAP by automating POAP distributions. For this, you will need API authorization tokens. Please refer to [Authentication](https://documentation.poap.tech/docs/authentication) for more information on requesting authorization tokens.
