# About the Members APIs

Wix provides a set of tools for managing and customizing the members on a Wix site. Members APIs allow you to control member-related features, including profiles, privacy settings, badges, custom fields, and more.

With the Members APIs, you can:

- [Create](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/members/create-member.md), [update](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/members/update-member.md), and [delete](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/members/delete-member.md) site members.
- Manage [member privacy settings](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/member-privacy-settings/set-member-privacy-settings.md) and [profile visibility](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/default-privacy/introduction.md).
- Assign and manage [badges](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/badges/introduction.md) to differentiate members.
- Handle [custom fields](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/custom-fields/custom-fields/introduction.md) to store additional member information.
- [Allow members to follow each other](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/members-followers/introduction.md) and build connections.

- Manage the ["About" section in a member's profile](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/members-about-v2/introduction.md).
