# Reader Management System API

### Reader Management System (RMS) API

The Reader Management System (RMS) is a cloud-based API that allows you to remotely and securely manage MagTek card readers. It enables you to handle key tasks such as updating device configurations and managing firmware versions, ensuring your devices are always up-to-date and configured correctly without needing physical access.

To get started with the API, you will need an API Key for authorization.
