Accessing Amazon QLDB using the API

Important

End of support notice: Existing customers will be able to use Amazon QLDB until end of support on 07/31/2025. For more details, see Migrate an Amazon QLDB Ledger to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL.

You can use the AWS Management Console and the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to work interactively with Amazon QLDB. However, to get the most out of QLDB, you can write application code with a QLDB driver or an AWS SDK to interact with your ledger using the APIs.

The driver lets your application interact with QLDB using the transactional data API. The AWS SDK supports interaction with the QLDB resource management API. For more information about these APIs, see the Amazon QLDB API reference.

The driver provides support for QLDB in Java, .NET, Go, Node.js, and Python. To get started quickly with these languages, see Getting started with the Amazon QLDB driver.

Before you can use a QLDB driver or an AWS SDK in your application, you must grant programmatic access. For more information, see Grant programmatic access.
