# About the Wix Portfolio APIs

Wix Portfolio APIs allow you to manage and showcase a site's [portfolio](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-portfolio-an-overview). Use these APIs to create projects with media items, organize projects into themed collections, and configure portfolio display settings.

Wix Portfolio APIs include the following:

+ [Projects API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/portfolio/projects/introduction.md): Create, manage, and retrieve projects in a site's portfolio.
+ [Project Items API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/portfolio/project-items/introduction.md): Add and manage a project's media items, such as images and videos.
+ [Collections API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/portfolio/collections/introduction.md): Group related projects into collections for easier browsing and categorization.
+ [Portfolio Settings API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/portfolio/portfolio-settings/introduction.md): Configure a site's portfolio settings.


## Before you begin

It's important to note the following points before starting to code:

+ The [Wix Portfolio app](https://www.wix.com/app-market/web-solution/wix-portfolio?appIndex=0&collimp_id=b54d3569-fdaa-49f6-83f8-2ac6e400bd11&referralSectionName=wix%20portfolio) must be installed on the site.
+ A project must exist before you can add project items to it.
+ To organize projects into collections, create a collection first, then assign projects to it using the Projects API.
