# Segment Import Integration

[Segment.io](http://Segment.io) is used to get the data from a data source and transfer it to a destination. Treasure Data has native connectivity with [Segment](https://segment.com/) (formerly [Segment.io](http://Segment.io)) for ingesting data. The connection is set up in the Segment UI with a TD API key. Data ingestion happens every minute, so you can query data almost in real-time.
