# Access via APIs

> Programmatically access your semantic models through APIs

The Credible REST API provides programmatic manage and access your semantic model resources — environments, packages, models, notebooks, and connections. Use it to build custom applications, automate workflows, or integrate with external systems.

Credible provides two distinct APIs that align with our [platform architecture](/concepts/architecture): the **Admin API** for management operations and the **Data API** for high-throughput queries. This separation ensures administrative operations never impact query performance, and each plane can scale independently.
