# Server-side request

Glossary · Platforms

Canonical page: https://datasdk.ai/glossary/server-side-request

A server-side request is sent by backend software rather than directly by a visitor's browser.

## Why it matters

Control access and validate inputs before requesting data.

## Illustrative example

Your server calls a service while keeping a secret credential private.

## What to check

Running on a server does not automatically make a request secure or authorized.

## How Data SDK fits

Data SDK connects website visits with available company details worldwide, from startups to larger businesses. Coverage and fields vary. Start free trial opens an email request; terms are confirmed with the team. The full API is coming soon.

These are suggested workflows, not a list of built-in integrations. Use your own approved analytics, CRM, and research process where needed. Matches and fields vary. A company match does not identify a person or prove buying intent.
