## Overview

Using Merge's authenticated Passthrough Request, you can make requests directly to an integration's API.

Merge makes it easy to make API requests to any of Merge's supported integrations with the account tokens that you've stored on behalf of your users. These requests are sent directly to the integration's API and follow each integration's specific API formats instead of Merge's unified format. This approach is ideal for when you're looking to fetch data that Merge may not make requests for.

If you believe Merge already pulls this data in its standard queries, you can avoid an additional API request to the integration platform by querying for **[Remote Data](/merge-unified/supplemental-data/remote-data)** instead.
