# Getting Started: The ClientId

A Client ID is a unique identifier assigned to a client application that interacts with a RESTful API. It is used to authenticate and authorize the client, ensuring secure communication between the client and the API. The Client ID helps the API server recognize the client, track its usage, and apply appropriate access controls
