# About the Guides

Welcome to the **Rhythm API Guides**! This section is here to help you get the most out of the Rhythm API.

If you're just getting started, please check out the [Quick Start](/tutorials) guides first.

## Common Use Cases

Think of these guides as your practical, hands-on companion to the API References. While the references cover every endpoint in detail,
the guides walk you through real-world examples and common use cases. You’ll find step-by-step tutorials, best practices, and tips for working with
key areas of the Rhythm platform such as:

- Retrieving and filtering data from multiple apps with [Queries](/guides/query)
- Controlling access to content with [Security Policies](/guides/security-policies)
- Understanding how to protect your data with the [Shared Responsibility Model](/guides/shared-responsibility-model)
- Connecting your website or third party system with [Single Sign-On](/guides/sso)


## Let Us Know!

We’ll keep expanding this section based on feedback and frequently asked questions, so if there’s something you’d like to see, let us know.
