# Manage App Services with the App Services API

> App Services can be accessed through a secure REST API. 

To create and manage App Services on Capella, use the [Management API](../management-api-guide/management-api-intro.md). Once you create your App Services, you have secure access to its REST APIs, namely:

* [Capella App Services Admin API Reference](rest%5Fapi%5Fadmin.md) — for the administration of App Services.
* [Capella App Services Metrics API Reference](rest%5Fapi%5Fmetric.md) — for monitoring App Services performance metrics.
* [Capella App Services Public API Reference](rest%5Fapi%5Fpublic.md) — access to functions for data access and manipulation.
