# Request a new DataHub API
This guide is for initiating the request to build a new DataHub API. If you'd prefer to gain a greater understanding of how DataHub works and how everything fits together before you jump in, we recommend starting with the DataHub Developer Documentation
# Create an API for your system
I want to expose my SQL query as a web service
- Review the Query Requirements
- Open an IT Service Request ticket (opens new window) with "DataHub" in the subject and include:
- Which system currently holds the requested data
- A description of the requested data
- The names of the data stewards for the requested data
- Route the ticket to Jason Miller (NUIT Administrative Systems).
- Your request will be evaluated. If determined appropriate for DataHub:
- A workflow will be initiated to obtain and document the necessary approvals.
- Once approved via workflow, complete the Producer Checklist.
# Another group owns the system
DataHub could help me consume another system's data
- Identify/define the specific requirements for the service
- Identify the system that holds the data
- Open an IT Service Request ticket (opens new window)
- Route the ticket to Jason Miller (NUIT Administrative Systems).
- Your request will be evaluated. If determined appropriate for DataHub, we will engage the owners of the target system for next steps; they would have to provide a resource to produce the service (write the SQL query, create documentation, etc.) and would own the resulting API.
