# Overview

This guide explains how to set up a Display \& Video 360 API integration. Once set up,
you'll be able to use it to send API requests to create and retrieve a
Display \& Video 360 line item.

This guide assumes you've used the [Display \& Video 360 UI](https://displayvideo.google.com/) and are
familiar with the product.

## Prerequisites

Before starting with the Display \& Video 360 API:

1. **Create a Google Account.** You need a [Google account](https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount) to [create a project](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/guides/quickstart/generate-credentials#create_a_new_project) in the Google Cloud Console. You can use an existing account or create a new one.
2. **Get access to Display \& Video 360.** You need access to Display \& Video 360 to use the API. If your organization has access to Display \& Video 360, ask an existing Admin user to create a [user profile](https://support.google.com/displayvideo/answer/2723011) for your Google Account(s). These user profiles need **Admin** , **Standard** , or **Read only** permissions for the necessary partners or advertisers. If your organization doesn't have access to Display \& Video 360, [contact our sales
   team](https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/display-video-360/).
3. **Try Display \& Video 360.** If you haven't used Display \& Video 360, try navigating the [UI](https://displayvideo.google.com/). Become familiar with the product before starting to code.
