# Datasets - Introduction

This section describes API endpoints to manage Datasets.

Dataset is a storage for structured data, where each record stored has the same attributes, such as online store products or real estate offers. You can imagine it as a table, where each object is a row and its attributes are columns. Dataset is an append-only storage - you can only add new records to it but you cannot modify or remove existing records. Typically it is used to store crawling results.

For more information, see the [Datasets documentation](https://docs.apify.com/platform/storage/dataset).

note

Some of the endpoints do not require the authentication token, the calls are authenticated using the hard-to-guess ID of the dataset.
