# Work with APIs

*Get familiar with Tulip's APIs to access your Tulip data, generate content, and configure your instance.*

{{snippet.Link to API Documentation}}

For those unfamiliar with APIs, read [Introduction to APIs](/r230/docs/api-introduction).

### When should you use an API?
You should use an API when you want to have an integration among Tulip and other software systems or access/change information in an App through a {{glossary.Connector}}, like creating a tulip table query or retrieving information about a station.
