-This article presumes that you have a solid understanding of Sumo Logic functionality: collectors, queries, security offerings, etc. While APIs are typically for "power users" looking for additional customization and access to web service resources, you also don't need a computer science degree to understand and make use of API calls. This article helps walk you through the basics and get you going with important data queries through the API.

 ## Basic API GET commands
 
 Retrieving system data and configuration is one of the most common use cases for utilizing platform APIs. These data retrieval operations are generally known as GET commands in reference to the "GET" verb used by the HTTP protocol. Data retrieved through API calls can be processed by outside applications and scripts for report generation and advanced analytics, extending functionality beyond that offered by the Sumo Logic website.
