| # Interacting with APIs | |
| > [Conceptual Guide](https://docs.langchain.com/docs/use-cases/apis) | |
| Lots of data and information is stored behind APIs. | |
| This page covers all resources available in LangChain for working with APIs. | |
| ## Chains | |
| If you are just getting started, and you have relatively simple apis, you should get started with chains. | |
| Chains are a sequence of predetermined steps, so they are good to get started with as they give you more control and let you | |
| understand what is happening better. | |
| - [API Chain](../modules/chains/examples/api.ipynb) | |
| ## Agents | |
| Agents are more complex, and involve multiple queries to the LLM to understand what to do. | |
| The downside of agents are that you have less control. The upside is that they are more powerful, | |
| which allows you to use them on larger and more complex schemas. | |
