Need to explain how to connect their app: https://dashboard.request.network/settings/apps
Request API is an abstraction over the Request Network for easy, but centralised, access. It's the fastest way to get started and build integrations.

## Pros
TODO
* Simple REST API, familiar for classic web developers
* No key management
* Faster response time
* Notifications on new request and received payments
* Send requests to other API users based on their email, instead of their ETH address.
* Easy to build applications on top of Request (see [here](./3-api-apps))
* Easy choice between fully public data or encrypted data on the network

## Cons
TODO
* Your users have to create a Request account the first time they use the feature
* centralised
* users need a Request account to connect
* encryption is not end-to-end (see [here](./4-api-encryption.md))
