## Overview

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide for developers integrating with FlashStart's backend systems. FlashStart currently exposes two independent APIs served by two different platforms: the Legacy CustomerArea API (used for tenant lifecycle and licensing) and the Cloud Panel 2026 API (used for filtering configuration, policies, and networks). 

This guide explains how to bridge these two platforms, manage authentication for both, and correctly provision organizations and networks.
