    10 <h2>Overview</h2>
       
    11 <p>API Query is a tool for querying Application Programming Interface (API) information. With this tool, you can quickly found out which headers belong to a specific API, who is the owner of a particular API, and whether the API has been published in an SDK.</p>
       
    12 <p>API data is accessed via a data source, such as an online database service. For more information, see <a href="../concepts/data_source.htm">Data source</a>.</p>
       
    13 <p>You can use the following criteria when querying for API information (some of these may not be available with all data source types): </p>
       
    14 <ul>
       
    15 <li>API name</li>
       
    16 <li>subsystem name</li>
       
    17 <li>DLL name</li>
       
    18 <li>LIB name</li>
       
    19 <li>header name</li>
       
    20 <li>CR/P&amp;S key name. </li>
       
    21 </ul>
       
    22 <p>In the API Query tool, you can run a query either from the <b>Search</b> tab or directly from your code. In the code, you can either search for specific identifiers or generate a report about the usage of APIs in your entire project.</p>
