# External Clients

A lot of times the user wants to query data from an external application instead of using the inbuilt query explorer. Pinot provides external query client for this purpose.\
\
All of the clients have pretty standard interfaces so that the learning curve is minimum.

Currently Pinot provides the following clients

{% content-ref url="clients/jdbc" %}
[jdbc](https://docs.pinot.apache.org/release-0.12.1/users/clients/jdbc)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="clients/java" %}
[java](https://docs.pinot.apache.org/release-0.12.1/users/clients/java)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="clients/python" %}
[python](https://docs.pinot.apache.org/release-0.12.1/users/clients/python)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="clients/golang" %}
[golang](https://docs.pinot.apache.org/release-0.12.1/users/clients/golang)
{% endcontent-ref %}
