# DuckDB Client APIs

This skill mirrors the official DuckDB current client API documentation.

CRITICAL: Search `references/clients/` before giving DuckDB client setup, connection, API, binding, configuration, or compatibility guidance. Client behavior and support tiers vary by language and release.

## Scope

- `references/clients/overview.md` - client support tiers and compatibility.
- `references/clients/c/`, `cli/`, `node_neo/`, `odbc/`, `python/`, and `wasm/` - maintained client-specific guides and references.
- Top-level `references/clients/*.md` - C++, Go, Java/JDBC, R, Rust, ADBC, and other client pages.
- `references/clients/tertiary_clients/` - community-maintained client integrations.

## Search

```bash
rg -n "connect|install|API|Appender|prepared statement|Arrow|DataFrame|Wasm|ODBC" references/clients
```
