Weaviate's actually configured with many rest endpoints, which you can access directly. For example, I can browse for the URL of a WCS instance and get this response, reassuringly telling me at the server's running, at least. But if we try any of these links that are shown on the page, the server refuses to show us the contents as I'm not authorized. That's good. We want our database to be access controlled for security. This is why we used an API key in our earlier code examples to authenticate ourselves. Authentication with a username and password is also supported, but we'll stick to using the API key for our course. And since it's likely that you'd be working with Weaviate using a client library, let's continue to look at what else we can do with the client. You've seen code examples like this earlier when we looked at queries, but now let's take a little…
