# What is the ER:LC Private Server API?

## What is the API pack?

The API pack allows your server to interface with 3rd-party clients outside of the ER:LC game. This enables many features and remote control abilities (such as running commands from a Discord bot or web panel).

## How can I set up this API?

If you are not a developer and you do not have experience coding, **PRC cannot help you code features or make a bot.**

Instead, we recommend you check out one of these featured API clients:

* **Melonly -** [**https://melonly.xyz**](https://melonly.xyz)
* **Trident -** [**https://trident.bot**](https://trident.bot)
* **Sonoran** - [**https://docs.sonoransoftware.com**](https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cms/integration-capabilities/er-lc-game-panel/usage)

All of these bots have features allowing you to manage your server remotely - **we cannot help you pick a bot to use, check out all the ones on this list and make the best choice for your server.**

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Any applications listed on this page are not created or maintained by the ER:LC / PRC team - these are simply well known applications who have integrated API features.**\
\
We always recommend you do your own research to find the best application for your use case and only provide your server-key to developers you trust!
