Luminate Developer Hub: API and Snowflake documentation

Luminate Developer Hub: API and Snowflake documentation

Query the CONNECT database or share large quantities of data with the Luminate API and Snowflake data sharing.  
​


See below for a brief introduction. But if you’re planning to use these tools, you’ll probably want to go straight to the Luminate Developer Hub.






Back to Platform 

API access

The new Luminate API allows users to make custom queries and retrieve information directly from our database. 


Complete API documentation is available at the Developer Hub: API endpoints, data filters, IDs, changelogs, user guides and other useful information. There’s also an interactive API Reference where you can test queries and preview behavior.  


Read Getting Started with the Luminate API for an overview or browse all API material at docs.luminatedata.com.

Data sharing

We leverage the Snowflake platform to enable secure data sharing at scale. Snowflake data shares deliver permissioned, read-only views of tables stored in the Luminate database. 


Learn more in the Snowflake Onboarding Documentation section of the Developer Hub.

Help and support 

At the risk of repeating ourselves: everything you need to know about our API and data sharing is housed in the Developer Hub. 


If you want help navigating the Developer Hub, can’t log in or have questions about your account, email help@luminatedata.com. 


API and Snowflake access both require subscriptions. To find out more, contact your Luminate account representative or use this form.
