## Technical detail [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/integrations/saas-integrations/datadog#technical-detail/index.html)

Fides utilizes _API endpoints_ to access the _API service_ for a SaaS application. An _API service_ is the programmatic interface through which Fides can query and update data within an application to access, rectify, or delete personal information. Each SaaS tool will have a unique set of endpoints to enable privacy functions.

### Datadog Endpoints [Permalink for this section](/content/docs/integrations/saas-integrations/datadog#datadog-endpoints/index.html)

In the table below, you can find which endpoints are used for each type of privacy function. Clicking on the endpoint will take you to the documentation for that endpoint.

| Privacy function | Endpoint | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Access Requests** | [Logs (opens in a new tab)](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/logs/#get-a-list-of-logs) | Used to search and fetch logs.
