# Connecting Data Sources Dapta allows you to connect to multiple data sources to access your data and create API endpoints from it. When you connect a data source in Dapta, we're not duplicating your data or creating a cache, we're just a tunnel for you to create API endpoints with custom logic. When creating a data source, Dapta automatically detects tables and collections and creates settings to view that data. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
