# Treasure Data TD-API Quickstart

The TD-API makes it easy to integrate with other tools to better manipulate your data. Through the TD API you can programmatically access the functionality typically provided through the web based TD Console.

This functionality includes:

- Manage bulk imports of data
- List databases and tables
- Schedule jobs
- Manage connectors
- Manage users
- Access control policies


By leveraging the TD-API endpoints you can create an external application, tool, or CLI to automate common tasks. For example, you may want to integrate TD-API with your continuous deployment service to run tests or setup complex automations.
Please refer to this [document](/products/my-settings/getting-your-api-keys) for getting your API Keys.

# Basic Use

## List Databases

In this case, you want to return a list of databases. This example issues a call to the API to return a list of your databases.

### Sample Request


```bash
curl -H "AUTHORIZATION: TD1 YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
"https://api.treasuredata.com/v3/database/list"
```

### Sample Response


```json
{
  "databases": [
    {
      "name": "database1",
      "count": 5000,
      "created_at": "2013-11-01 16:48:41 -0700",
      "updated_at": "2013-11-01 16:48:41 -0700",
      "organization": null
    },
    {
      "name": "database2",
      "count": 5000,
      "created_at": "2013-11-08 17:47:22 -0800",
      "updated_at": "2013-11-08 17:47:22 -0800",
      "organization": null
    }
  ]
}
```

## Issue a Query

You might want to run a query to count how many visitors have come to your website.

URI: `https://api.treasuredata.com/v3/job/issue/presto/td_audit_log`

#### Sample Request


```bash
curl --location --request POST \
     'https://api.treasuredata.com/v3/job/issue/presto/td_audit_log' \
     --header 'AUTHORIZATION: TD1 YOUR_API_KEY_HERE' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data-raw '{
       "query": "select * from access limit 5",
       "domain_key": 261,
       "Priority": 0
     }'
```

#### Sample Response


```json
{
  "job": "1120145314",
  "job_id": "1120145314",
  "database": "td_audit_log"
}
```

## Get Query Results

You might want to get query results for a specific job.

#### Sample Request


```bash
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.treasuredata.com/v3/job/result/1145768692?format=json' \
    --header 'AUTHORIZATION: TD1 YOUR_API_KEY_HERE' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
```

#### Sample Response


```json
[1,"400","num_requests",1601378369]
[2,"404","http_status_code",1601378369]
[3,"200","num_requests",1601378369]
```

## List Connectors

You might need to retrieve a list of connectors or to check if one exists or see if one has been added.

#### Sample Request


```bash
curl -I -X GET \
  https://api.treasuredata.com/v3/result/list \
  -H 'Authorization: TD1 YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
```

#### Sample Response


```json
{
    "name": "mb_s3_sep_6",

}
```
