# Welcome

## Avoid Crowds project

Avoid-Crowds.com shows you when touristic hotspots are crowded. By collecting different touristic datasets, we know when big crowds are expected and we tell you why. With that knowledge you can travel prepared. We have now opened access to our data with the release of our REST API.

There are two ways to access our data: by API requests and through our flexible widgets.

{% hint style="info" %}
To access our API, you can contact us by sending an e-mail to [Info@avoid-crowds.com](mailto:info@avoid-crowds.com) or you can [visit this page](https://avoid-crowds.com/about-us/) and use our contact form.
{% endhint %}

Upon acceptance we will provide you with your own unique API key. With that key you can work with widgets and API on any developer stack what you want.
