[OctoPrint](http://octoprint.org/) is a web interface for your 3D printer. This is the main component to integrate OctoPrint sensors, you will have to setup sensors and binary sensors separately.
To get started with the OctoPrint API, please follow the directions on their [site](http://docs.octoprint.org/en/master/api/general.html). Once OctoPrint is configured you will need to add your API key and host to your `configuration.yaml`.
```yaml
octoprint:
host: YOUR_OCTOPRINT_HOST
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
bed: false
number_of_tools: 1
```
Configuration variables:
- **host** (*Required*): IP address or hostname of Octoprint host.
- **api_key** (*Required*): The retrieved api key.
- **bed** (*Optional*): If the printer has a heated bed.
- **number_of_tools** (*Optional*): Number of temperature adjustable tools. i.e. nozzle.
