# Overview

> High-level overview of the Wave API: what it does, how it is organized, and how to start integrating outreach automation.

The Wave API is a REST interface for automating cold Instagram outreach. Use it to scrape target audiences, manage sender accounts, orchestrate multi-step sequences, launch campaigns, and pull real-time analytics.

## What you can do

* **Audiences**: Build target lists from Instagram follower or following data, or upload your own leads.
* **Sequences**: Design multi-step messaging templates with delays and warmup actions like `FOLLOW_FIRST` and `LIKE_POSTS`.
* **Connected Accounts**: Attach Instagram sender profiles, monitor warmup health, and manage proxy assignments.
* **Campaigns**: Combine sequences, audiences, and accounts into automated outreach runs with programmatic controls.
* **Analytics**: Track delivery, response rates, and conversion metrics per campaign.
