# Overview

> API reference for the Infino SDKs — Rust, Python, and Node.js. The same client connects to a local store or to Infino Cloud; only the connect target changes. For the HTTP API, see the REST API section (Infino Cloud).

Infino ships SDKs for **Rust, Python, and Node.js**. The same client connects to a local
store (`./data`, `s3://…`) or to **Infino Cloud** — only the `connect` target changes, so
one program runs against either. Each reference below is generated from the published
package, so it always matches the version you install.

<Note>
  The Python and Node.js references are generated from the published packages and
  regenerate on each release, so they always match the version you install. New to the API?
  Start with the [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart) and [Guides](/docs/guides/tables).
</Note>

<Tip>
  Prefer the terminal or a coding agent? The [CLI](/docs/cli) wraps the same engine and
  connects to the same local, object-storage, and Infino Cloud targets — no code required.
</Tip>

## Connecting to Infino Cloud

The reference above is the whole API — the same calls run against Infino Cloud. You point
`connect` at an `https://<host>/<database>` URL and pass an API key; every table and search
call after that is identical to local use. The hosted transport is enabled slightly
differently per language:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python icon="python" theme={null}
  # Built in — nothing to enable.
  import infino

  db = infino.connect("https://api.platform.infino.ws/my-app", api_key="inf_…")
  ```

  ```typescript Node.js icon="node-js" theme={null}
  // Built in — nothing to enable.
  import { connect } from "@infino-ai/infino";

  const db = connect("https://api.platform.infino.ws/my-app", { apiKey: "inf_…" });
  ```

  ```bash Rust icon="rust" theme={null}
  # Rust opts into the hosted transport via the `remote` feature.
  cargo add infino --features remote
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The API key can be passed to `connect` or read from the `INFINO_API_KEY` environment
variable. For the full walkthrough and the credential model, see the hosted
[Quickstart](/docs/cloud/quickstart) and [Authentication](/docs/cloud/authentication).

## REST API

Prefer HTTP, or working in a language without an SDK? **Infino Cloud** exposes the same
per-database operations (tables, rows, search, SQL) as a REST API — see the **REST API**
section. REST is a Cloud feature: a local connection runs in-process, so it has no HTTP
surface.

The machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 spec is served at
[`https://api.platform.infino.ws/openapi.json`](https://api.platform.infino.ws/openapi.json) —
point your code generator or client tooling at it as the source of truth.

## Local vs Cloud

The SDKs connect to both local and Infino Cloud with the same calls. For the exact list of
where the two differ — the handful of local-only and Cloud-only operations — see
[Local vs Infino Cloud](/docs/api-reference/parity).
