# About Headless APIs

Headless APIs provide you with flexibility to create an app or site on any platform and take advantage of Wix's backend business solutions via APIs. Learn more about [Wix Headless](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/get-started/about-headless/about-wix-headless.md).

With Headless APIs, you can:
+ Enable [external client applications or websites to authenticate](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/headless-authentication/oauth-apps/introduction.md) with a Wix site or project and manage its data.
+ [Redirect visitors](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/headless-authentication/redirects/introduction.md) from external sites to Wix-managed pages for Bookings, eCommerce, Events, and paid plans transaction checkouts, before returning them to the original site.
+ Manage [member authentication](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/headless-authentication/authentication/introduction.md), [password recovery](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/headless-authentication/recovery/introduction.md), and profile identity in custom [headless projects](https://dev.wix.com/docs/go-headless/get-started/about-headless/about-wix-headless.md).
