# Networking basics
## Configuring the Proxy's IP address and port
## Set the Proxy's IP address and port
The Proxy's main IP address setting determines where JupyterHub is available to users.
By default, JupyterHub is configured to be available on all network interfaces

Configuring only the main IP and port of JupyterHub should be sufficient for most deployments of JupyterHub.

The Hub service also listens only on localhost (port 8080) by default.
The Hub needs needs to be accessible from both the proxy and all Spawners.

# Using JupyterHub's REST API
This section will give you information on:
- what you can do with the API
- create an API token
- add API tokens to the config files
- make an API request programmatically using the requests library
- learn more about JupyterHub's API

To send requests using JupyterHub API, you must pass an API token with the
request. You can create a token for an individual user using the following
command:
