title: Loading from LlamaCloud | Developer Documentation
---

Our enterprise service, [LlamaCloud](https://cloud.llamaindex.ai/), allows you to store and query your data in a fully-managed, scalable, and secure environment. For a full explanation of how to use LlamaCloud, see the [LlamaCloud documentation](https://docs.cloud.llamaindex.ai/), in particular the [framework integration guide](https://docs.cloud.llamaindex.ai/llamacloud/guides/framework_integration).

## Using LlamaCloud from LlamaIndex

You can use LlamaCloud to connect to your data stores and automatically index them. Once an index is created, you can use it in just a few lines of code:

```
import os
from llama_cloud_services import LlamaCloudIndex


os.environ["LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"] = "llx-..."


index = LlamaCloudIndex("my_first_index", project_name="Default")
query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
answer = query_engine.query("Example query")
```

It’s also possible to programmatically load documents into a LlamaCloud index; check the [documentation](https://docs.cloud.llamaindex.ai/llamacloud/guides/framework_integration) for more details.
