# Welcome

We'll briefly inform you about the features of our API and then you can explore our documentation for yourself.

Sportmonks offers standard REST APIs. Requests are sent with URLs and responses will be returned in **JSON format**. Every authentication is spearheaded by an API token.

If you want to get started right away, great! Head over to our [**Getting Started section**](/v3/motorsport-api/welcome/getting-started.md), where you'll create your own API token and create your first request.

Are you currently using the [Formula One API v1](https://docs.sportmonks.com/v2/formula-one-api/) and want to migrate now? Check out our [Migration Guide](/v3/motorsport-api/tutorials-and-guides/guides/migrating-from-formula-one-api-v1-to-motorsport-api-v3.md) to get started.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have questions, suggestions or feedback regarding Motorsport API v3, please contact our support team via <support@sportmonks.com>
