Datarelix Quick Start
Sign in, connect a database, let discovery run, and ask your first question.
Before you start
You’ll need:
- A Datarelix account — create one at app.datarelix.ai with your email address and a password (at least 8 characters). No credit card.
- A database Datarelix can reach, in one of the supported engines: Postgres, MySQL, Azure SQL, Databricks, Kusto, BigQuery, Athena, Elasticsearch, or Snowflake — or data files in S3/Azure/GCS via the Files & Object Storage (DuckDB) connection.
Datarelix runs the execution layer, the per-engine query services, and the Python sandbox for you — there’s nothing to install or operate.
Your first query
-
Create your account
Open app.datarelix.ai. The sign-in page opens on Create your account: enter your name, email, and a password of at least 8 characters, then confirm it. You’re signed in as soon as the account is created — a confirmation email follows, and you don’t have to wait for it to start querying.
Already have an account? Switch to Sign in, or use Forgot password? to get a reset link.
-
Add a connection
Click Add connection and pick your database engine. Each engine has its own fields and auth modes — the Connections guides walk through every one, including how to create a read-only role and where to find each credential. Datarelix only ever reads inside the allowed scope you set (schema / database / dataset / index pattern).
-
Let discovery run
After you connect, Datarelix introspects the schema and optionally enriches each table with a short description. Better descriptions mean sharper answers — see Writing queries. How many tables one analysis covers depends on your plan; see Billing & plans.
-
Ask a question
Pick the connection and ask in plain language:
ask What tables are in this database?Show me the top 5 customers by lifetime valueWhat was the total revenue per month?
Every answer comes back artifact-first: a table or chart, the exact SQL/KQL that ran, the tables used, and the runtime — all one click away.
Using the API
Every UI action is also a REST endpoint. Programmatic access uses an API key, which is issued on request rather than self-serve — there is no key-generation screen in the app yet. Contact us if you want one for your account. With a key, a run looks like this:
curl -N -X POST https://app.datarelix.ai/api/v1/run/stream \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "X-API-Key: $DATARELIX_API_KEY" \ -d '{ "connection_id": "your-connection-id", "question": "What are the top 10 customers?" }'See the REST API reference for the full endpoint list and Authentication for how sign-in and API keys work.
