# Use the Sigma API

Learn how to use the Sigma API to execute queries and extract and retrieve data.

The [Sigma API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/sigma/query_runs.md?api-version=preview) allows you to execute Sigma queries programmatically that are currently executable through the Sigma editor. It permits a wider range of use cases beyond the editor. For example, you can use the Sigma API to retrieve data and render it within a Jupyter notebook, retrieve data at internally scheduled time periods, and extract and transform data.
