# Overview

Welcome to the development guides! These resources are designed to help you get the most out of Loop’s APIs and webhooks, whether you’re looking for step-by-step instructions for specific endpoints ([“Guides”](#what-are-guides)) or want to implement more advanced, real-world workflows ([“Use Cases”](#what-are-use-cases)).

***

## 📖 What are `Guides`?

**Guides** are focused, step-by-step instructions for integrating directly with a specific API endpoint or webhook. They’re perfect for accomplishing a single, well-defined task—such as creating a return record in another system or subscribing to a webhook event.

<Note>
  Start with a guide if you’re new to a specific API or webhook. Explore use
  cases when you’re ready to build more advanced workflows!
