# Metadata

Teleskope's Metadata API surfaces classification records for each of your connected data stores. Use these endpoints to programmatically retrieve data element classifications, user permissions, and resource inventories across all enrolled connectors.

All Metadata API requests require an `X-API-KEY` header for authentication.
