# Manage requests in API Hub

The API Hub is a feature within UniDeck, similar to tools like Postman, Insomnia, or cURL. It's designed for team collaboration within a dashboard context, making data visualization easy. UniDeck aims to integrate custom data with a user-friendly, customizable dashboard. The API Hub connects to any HTTP API to power your dashboards. For more details, visit [API Hub](/unideck-docs/reference-and-spec/core-features/api-hub.md).

Follow these steps to connect to a simple API:
