# Getting started

This is the portal where you'll learn how to send and receive data from AB Tasty.

### Sending data

Our datacollection pipeline is called Universal Collect and is a REST API. It can be used to send data from anywhere as soon as you have an AB Tasty account.

### Public API

You can control and interact with our platform directly through API.

### Connecting your segments

You can send us your segments coming either from your own internal system (database, datawarehouse) or from a third party tool (DMP, CDP, GCP or any others 3 characters acronyms) to use it as targeting criteria and reporting filters.\
Your segments will be safely kept in our infrastructure waiting to be read from our tools.
