# Build on Rigbox

> Use the API from your backend to manage workspaces and applications.

Build a hosting interface, an agent environment, or a developer platform on top of Rigbox. Your backend owns your users and product policy; Rigbox provides workspace, application, and deployment primitives.

## Start with a read-only request

Follow the [API quickstart](/build/quickstart) to authenticate and list workspaces. Keep account credentials on your backend. A personal Rigbox API key is not a credential to distribute to every end user.

## Build the lifecycle

1. Map your user or project to a Rigbox workspace ID.
2. [Create and manage the workspace](/build/workspace-lifecycle).
3. [Prepare and monitor app releases](/build/deploy-monitor).
4. Apply app visibility and your own authorization checks.
5. Collect health, logs, and usage for your interface.

The integration maps describe first-party consumers. Their console-specific operations are not a replacement for the public API contract.
