# Choose a developer tool

> Choose between the Clumio REST API, Python and Go SDKs, Terraform provider, and automation repositories.

Clumio provides a REST API, Python and Go SDKs, and a Terraform provider. Its MCP repository generates
Terraform configuration for a smaller set of workflows.

## Get a token first

The REST API, SDKs, and Terraform provider use a long-lived bearer token. Generate one from
**Administration → Access management → API tokens**. See
[Authentication](/developer-tools/authentication) for token types, base URLs, and rotation.

<Note>
  The Terraform provider reads `CLUMIO_API_TOKEN` and `CLUMIO_API_BASE_URL`. The SDKs accept the same
  token and a hostname through their configuration objects.

## What the API covers

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Protection" icon="shield">
    Policy definitions, protection groups, protection rules, and the tag-based bindings that enrol
    resources automatically.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Restore" icon="rotate-left">
    Granular restores of objects, tables, files and databases, to the source or any authorised
    account and region.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Discovery" icon="magnifying-glass">
    A machine-readable Discovery API that maps resources to their operation IDs, so clients can walk
    the surface without hardcoding endpoint lists.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Audit and inventory" icon="clipboard-list">
    Assets, tasks, alerts, users, organisational units and compliance reporting.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## API conventions

* **Per-resource versioning.** Resources are versioned independently and selected through the
  `Accept` header, so a change to one resource does not force a client-wide upgrade.
* **HAL + HATEOAS responses.** Responses carry links to related resources and valid actions, which is
  how the Discovery API stays accurate without a separate registry.
* **Regional base URLs.** Calls go to the API base URL matching the control plane where the token was
  created. See [Authentication](/developer-tools/authentication) for the values published by the
  Terraform provider.
