  title: DoltHub Branches Databases API
  description: The DoltHub HTTP API (v1alpha1) for the version-controlled SQL database "Git for data". Provides read SQL queries, asynchronous write SQL queries, and version-control management of databases, branches, tags, forks, jobs, and operations on Dolt databases hosted at dolthub.com. Read queries against public databases are unauthenticated; write queries and access to private databases require an API token sent as an authorization header.
