# Getting Started

> Get started with Ping APIs

## Which API do I use?

**Ping.Extraction** is a standalone product that performs automated processing and structuring of insurance documents. **Ping.Data** is another standalone product that
collects data, handles geocoding, and manages AI interaction for small or large batch requests. **Ping.Vision** manages submission workflows, part of which is
invoking **Ping.Extraction** when appropriate. **Ping.Vision** requires customization to meet your organizational workflow needs and then manages the use of
**Ping.Extraction** and **Ping.Data**.

All of these products are available for direct use. However, most use cases will interface with only one of them directly, as that product will handle any
required integrations.

## How do I authenticate?

Authentication tokens for **Ping.Vision** and **Ping.Extraction** can be generated here: [https://auth.pingintel.com/account/api\_keys/](https://auth.pingintel.com/account/api_keys/). The same token works in both
production and staging environments.

Other APIs currently use different tokens. Please [contact support](/support) to request authentication tokens for those APIs.

## Common workflows

Each workflow page walks through a full API call sequence with runnable code. New to
SOV processing? Start with [How Ping Processes SOVs](/how-ping-processes-sovs) for the
behavior behind these calls, and [Concepts & Identifiers](/concepts-and-identifiers)
for the terms they use.

### Ping.Extraction

* [Process an SOV](/workflows/ping-extraction/parse-sov) — parse a new workbook for the
  first time and download the generated outputs.
* [Get or Create an SOV Output](/workflows/ping-extraction/get-or-create-output) —
  request an additional format, or regenerate an output, from an already-parsed SOV.
* [Update an SOV](/workflows/ping-extraction/update-sov) — apply corrected building
  attributes to a parsed SOV, or trigger a `SCRUB` reoutput.
* [Monitor SOV Activity](/workflows/ping-extraction/monitor-sov-activity) — track every
  SOV and SUD processed across your account with a single cursor-paginated poll.
* [Build an SOV Pipeline](/workflows/ping-extraction/build-sov-pipeline) — submit jobs,
  apply updates, and download outputs from one long-running polling loop.

### Ping.Data

* [Enhance One Location](/workflows/ping-data/enhance-location) — request data from
  multiple sources for a single location synchronously.
* [Enhance Multiple Locations](/workflows/ping-data/bulk-enhance) — submit a batch of
  locations and poll for the enriched results.

### Ping.Vision

* [Send and Track SOV Submission](/workflows/ping-vision/send-and-track-submission) —
  manage submission intake, which invokes **Ping.Extraction** on your behalf.
* [How to: Integrate an External System (Clear and Triage)](/workflows/ping-vision/clear-and-triage) —
  drive an end-to-end clearance flow and react to submission status transitions.
