# Hosting An API Tipline

An API tipline receives tip sent via HTTP request to the tipline's API endpoint. Use the following instructions to complete the process of [Configuring Tipline Properties](/getting-started/setting-up-tiplines/configuring-tipline-properties.md).

If modifying an existing tipline, click the edit link associated with the desired tipline as shown on [the "Manage Tiplines" Page](/getting-started/setting-up-tiplines.md#the-manage-tiplines-page). It will bring up an "Edit Tipline" form similar to the one shown below. If you are in the process of creating a new tipline, you may already see a [form called "New Tipline"](/getting-started/setting-up-tiplines/creating-a-new-tipline.md#the-new-tipline-form) which is similar and will serve the same purpose.
