# Data Access

This guide covers supported ways to read operational and analytics data from Amigo without operating any infrastructure yourself. You have two primary options:

* SQL API (serverless): programmatic, read-only SQL for quick access and light integrations
* Delta Sharing: governed, read-only sharing of curated tables into your warehouse/lakehouse

{% hint style="info" %}
**Classic API data access** - SQL API and Delta Sharing provide access to Classic API organization tables. Platform API data is accessed through the [World Model](https://docs.amigo.ai/developer-guide/platform-api/platform-api/data-world-model).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Beta status and access

* SQL API is currently in beta.
* Delta Sharing is currently in beta.
* JDBC/ODBC connectivity is in private preview for select customers.

To request access, message your Amigo representative via Slack and include your organization ID, region, and which capabilities you need. If you plan to connect BI tools or data pipelines via standard drivers, also request JDBC/ODBC access.

## Choosing the Right Path

**Decision Guide**

* **SQL API**: Ad-hoc lookups, lightweight integrations, or quick operational checks over HTTPS
* **Delta Sharing**: Ongoing data access for BI/analytics, ELT/ETL pipelines, or large extracts

## Getting Access

{% hint style="info" %}
**Request Access**

To enable either capability for your organization, contact your Amigo representative and include:

* Your organization ID and region
* Which option(s) you need: SQL API, Delta Sharing, and/or JDBC/ODBC
* Required tables/schemas and any security constraints (IP allowlists, service accounts)

Amigo will provide the exact endpoint(s), credentials, and any driver or profile files needed for your tenant.
