# Run Queries with the Data 360 Direct API

Execute SQL queries directly against your Data 360 data with the new Data 360 Direct API. This API is optimized for high-volume integrations and bulk-extraction workloads of Data 360 data.

**Where:** This change applies to the Data 360 Query API in all Data 360 editions.

**When:** This feature is available starting in June 2026.

**Why:** The Data 360 Direct API is a natural fit for BI and analytics tools, and any system that integrates with Data 360 over HTTP.

**How:** For API endpoint details and authentication requirements, see Data 360 Query Guide: [Query Data using Query API](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-query-guide/references/data-cloud-query-api-reference/c360a-api-queryservices-overview.html).
