# Find Terms

A **taxonomy** is a hierarchical set of terms (categories, tags) you can attach to records. Finds the terms.

This method is on the runtime **API** surface (`norbix.api.database`) — call it from your app.

{% hint style="info" %}
These examples assume the SDK is installed and your credentials are set as environment variables — each client reads them automatically, so the constructors below take no arguments. See [Install a Norbix SDK](/sdks-and-cli/install.md).
