# Introduction

> Welcome to the TextQL Platform API

<Note>
  **v2 API is now available.** The v2 API uses standard REST conventions (proper HTTP methods, path parameters, plain JSON) instead of Connect-RPC. See the [v2 API Introduction](/api-reference/v2/introduction) to get started. The examples on this page use v1.
</Note>

## Overview

The TextQL Platform API provides programmatic access to TextQL's core functionality, enabling you to:

* **Execute Chats**: Send and Stream chat queries
* **Manage Playbooks**: Create, update, deploy, and delete automated playbooks
* **Trigger Agents**: Start agent runs from external systems using webhooks
* **List Connectors**: Access your configured data sources
* **Manage API Keys**: Create, update, and delete outbound API access keys for external providers

<Warning>
  The following tools are unavailable via the API:

  * **Context Editor** - Organization context editing
  * **Ontology Editor** - Ontology editing
  * **Streamlit** - Streamlit execution

  (They are still available via [app.textql.com](https://app.textql.com))
