# Quickstart Guide

Ready to create your first API with PromptJoy? Here's how:

1. **Sign Up/Log In:** If you're new here, start by creating an account on <https://preview.promptjoy.com>. PromptJoy leverages Auth0 so that you can use your existing Google or GitHub account to sign in.
2. **Create Your API:** Create your API by simply describe what you want your API to do on <https://preview.promptjoy.com/apis/new>. For instance, "You're an API that takes a city name and returns a landmark"
3. **Deploy Your API:** Once you're happy with your API description, hit the "Create API" button. Your API is now alive on a scalable server platform.
4. **Test Your API:** You can try out your new API right within PromptJoy. Just input the required inputs and hit "Test". You'll see the output immediately.
5. **Integrate Your API:** Now that your API is ready, it's time to introduce it to your application. We provide examples in [Python](/api/api-usage/python.md), [JavaScript](/api/api-usage/javascript.md), [Ruby](/api/api-usage/ruby.md), [Go](/api/api-usage/go.md), [Java](/api/api-usage/java.md), and [C#](/api/api-usage/c.md) to help you get started.

And that's it! You have just created your first API with PromptJoy.
