description: "The two ways to fetch object metadata from Corridor, the corridor Python package and custom APIs."
---

The objects created on the platform have their metadata stored in the database. Corridor allows the users to access
that metadata in multiple ways.

- `corridor` package: If the client is running a `python` based application, `corridor` package can be used to access the metadata for all the objects.
- `custom apis`: If the client application is not python based, the user can create simple `flask` application and define the appropriate APIs, which would fetch the metadata internally using the `corridor` package.

## In This Section

- [Corridor Python Package](/technology/customization/fetching-metadata/corridor-package/): access object metadata directly from Python
- [Custom APIs](/technology/customization/fetching-metadata/custom-apis/): expose metadata to non-Python applications
