Web Site Integration: What Login?

I'm starting to plan the integration of our Web site with SalesForce. For the Apex API, what login should I use? The only option seems to be my login, something I'm not thrilled about. My login has a far higher privilege level than is needed by the integration code.

Are there any other options? Does SalesForce provide an integration login?

Thanks,
Don

So, create another user, give it the permissions you want, and use *that* login.  Or am I misunderstanding your question?

Well, we have no spare logins. We're using all of the ones for users. Do we need to pay for another?

Thanks,

No, you can just get rid of one of your users instead.  :-)

The API requires credentials.  If you don't want to use any of the user licenses you have, then you need more.

Okay, I'll ask for a volunteer to be bumped off. :-)

Seriously, thanks. Now at least I know that I'm not missing anything.
