# PingAccess Agent SDK for C
This documentation provides technical guidance for using the PingAccess Agent SDK for C. Use this guide along with the API documentation for the SDK and sample source code to implement custom agents that use the PingAccess Agent Protocol to integrate with a PingAccess policy server.
## Intended Audience
This guide is intended for application developers and system administrators responsible for implementing a C-based PingAccess agent. The reader should be familiar with C software development principles and practices. It describes the use of the Software Development Kit (SDK) *(tooltip: \
\
A set of tools that allows a developer to build a custom application that integrates with or connects to a platform or service.\
\
)* within a sample agent for Apache.
## Additional documentation
The SDK documentation provides detailed reference information for developers. After extracting the `pingaccess-agent-c-sdk-.zip` package, access the application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \
\
A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\
\
)* documentation with a web browser by viewing the file `AGENT_SDK_C_HOME/apidocs/index.html`. Alternatively, find the current version of the API documentation online at
