## Finding Specific Data

Each API has several endpoints. For example, if you take a look at the CoinGecko API [here](https://www.coingecko.com/en/api/documentation), you’ll see there’s data on markets, coins, and public companies. Each of the endpoints extracts different data from the API, thus allowing for more flexible requests.

With our <mark style="color:blue;">Explore</mark> page, you can search both by the endpoint (currently called [**APIs**](https://www.databar.ai/explore/apis) on the site) or by [**data sources**](https://www.databar.ai/explore/data-sources).&#x20;

## Searching by APIs

When you click on the [**APIs**](https://www.databar.ai/explore/apis) tab, you will see a list of endpoints available to you. You can filter them by <mark style="color:blue;">Categories</mark> or <mark style="color:blue;">Tags</mark> via the sidebar. The API search tab is perfect if you have an idea of the data you need.

### API Details page

Once you click on any API in the catalog, you will find yourself on the API details page: This page contains information about the endpoint, including a description, columns returned when data is requested, and terms of service/legal disclaimers (if any).\

To get started using an API, click on "Try me" - this button will take you to the query builder.&#x20;

## Searching by Data Sources

When you click on the [Data Sources](https://databar.ai/explore/data-sources) tab, you will see a list of Data Sources available to you. The difference between a Data Source and API is that a Data Source has multiple APIs as part of it (also known as endpoints). You can filter Data Sources by <mark style="color:blue;">Categories</mark> or <mark style="color:blue;">Tags</mark> via the sidebar. This would be the ideal resource if you're unaware of the data available from different sources.
