'Receive info from an API

Please could someone point me in the right direction (even with terminology to search!).

Our company has purchased a service for managing our staff team that has an API section, it doesn't say much other than "To enable your system to talk with our system please enter the URL and secret key which have been configured on your system. We will then send you the information."

They also list the info they would send (which sounds great).

It then has a box to input an API URL and a box to input a secret key.

After Googling API's, many articles talk about getting the URL from their website/service, not the other way around. They want me to provide an URL! I imagine I need something to receive the info from them? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
