Is it possible to expose my stardog cloud database and be able to query SPARQL by connecting to the endpoint? ---

Yes, you can access your Stardog Cloud endpoint using the Stardog CLI tools and also via an HTTPS API. See [Accessing API Endpoint | Stardog Documentation Latest](https://docs.stardog.com/stardog-cloud/accessing-api-endpoint) for more details. ---

Hi, On top of specifying the remote server in the CLI command, you also need to ensure that you're passing in `-u root` and either `-P` or `-p password`, otherwise the CLI will use the default admin/admin. ---

Sorry for interrupting this thread with a neighbouring question. I am wondering if there is a way to specify the database in the Stardog endpoint uri (e.g. through query parameters) for remote SPARQL access. E.g. I have the endpoint [https://xx-yyyyyyyy.stardog.cloud:5820](https://xx-yyyyyyyy.stardog.cloud:5820) and the database "zzzzzz" (plus user/pwd handled separately). E.g. corresponding way in GraphDB is base-uri/repositories/my-repo. ---

Hi Lars, [https://xx-yyyyyyyy.stardog.cloud:5820/{db}/query](https://xx-yyyyyyyy.stardog.cloud:5820/%7Bdb%7D/query) would be your endpoint for read SPARQL queries, see the HTTP API at [API Reference | ReDoc](https://stardog-union.github.io/http-docs/#tag/SPARQL/operation/getSparqlQuery) Cheers, Pavel ---
