<h2>Overview</h2>
<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>
<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>
<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>
<ul>
<li>API name</li>
<li>subsystem name</li>
<li>DLL name</li>
<li>LIB name</li>
<li>header name</li>
<li>CR/P&amp;S key name. </li>
</ul>
<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>
