# Introduction

**Tulip API**<small class='article-version'>3.0</small>
									
										
										

The Tulip API gives you programmatic access to your Tulip data.

### Query Parameters

Some Tulip API endpoints take parameters specified in the [URL query](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string). In the Tulip API, the URL query is expected to be a list of key-value pairs, with pairs separated by `&amp;`, keys and values separated by `=`, and keys and values being [percent-encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding). Keys are parsed as strings, values *must* be present for each key, and values are parsed as JSON. Simple string values may be specified as-is instead of being JSON-encoded. A query parameter may be specified multiple times, but only the final value will be used. Examples (shown without percent encoding for readability):

- `a=1&amp;b=true&amp;c=&quot;hello&quot;` would parse a parameter `a` as the number 1, `b` as the boolean `true`, and `c` as the string `hello`
- `a=foo&amp;b=&quot;foo&quot;` would parse a parameter `a` as the string `foo` and `b` as the string `foo`
- `data={&quot;points&quot;:[{&quot;x&quot;:3,&quot;y&quot;:4},{&quot;x&quot;:2,&quot;y&quot;:-9}]}` would parse a parameter `data` as an object with a single field `points` containing an array with two elements: an object with `x` as the number 3 and `y` as the number 4, and an object with `x` as the number 2 and `y` as the number -9
- `a=foo&amp;a=bar` would parse a parameter `a` as the string `bar`
