# Streamlit
> Streamlit turns data scripts into shareable web apps in minutes.
Here's a short video guide on how to connect Streamlit to Cube.
## Connect from Cube Cloud
Navigate to the [Integrations](/admin/connect-to-data/visualization-tools)
page, click **Connect to Cube**, and choose **Streamlit** to get
detailed instructions.
## Connect from Cube Core
You can connect a Cube deployment to Streamlit using the [SQL API][ref-sql-api].
In Cube Core, the SQL API is disabled by default. Enable it and [configure
the credentials](/reference/core-data-apis/sql-api#configuration) to
connect to Streamlit.
## Connecting from Streamlit
Streamlit connects to Cube as to a Postgres database.
### Creating a connection
Make sure to install the `streamlit`, `sqlalchemy` and `pandas` modules.
```bash theme={"dark"}
pip install streamlit
pip install sqlalchemy
pip install pandas
```
Then you can use `sqlalchemy.create_engine` to connect to Cube's SQL API.
```python theme={"dark"}
import streamlit
import sqlalchemy
import pandas
engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine(
sqlalchemy.engine.url.URL(
drivername="postgresql",
username="cube",
password="9943f670fd019692f58d66b64e375213",
host="thirsty-raccoon.sql.aws-eu-central-1.cubecloudapp.dev",
port="5432",
database="db@thirsty-raccoon",
),
echo_pool=True,
)
print("connecting with engine " + str(engine))
connection = engine.connect()
# ...
```
### Querying data
Your cubes will be exposed as tables, where both your measures and dimensions
are columns.
You can write SQL in Streamlit that will be executed in Cube. Learn more about
Cube SQL syntax on the [reference page][ref-sql-api].
```python theme={"dark"}
# ...
with streamlit.echo():
query = "SELECT sum(count) AS orders_count, status FROM orders GROUP BY status;"
df = pandas.read_sql_query(query, connection)
streamlit.dataframe(df)
```
In your Streamlit notebook it'll look like this. You can create a visualization
of the executed SQL query by using `streamlit.dataframe(df)`.
