# What is COLA Cloud?

> Access the US TTB COLA Registry — 2.9M+ alcohol product label approvals with images, barcodes, and AI enrichments.

## What is a COLA?

A **Certificate of Label Approval (COLA)** is required for every alcoholic beverage sold in the United States. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) maintains a public registry of all approved labels, creating one of the most comprehensive databases of beverage products in the world.

## What is COLA Cloud?

COLA Cloud scrapes, processes, and enriches the TTB COLA Registry, making it accessible through:

* **Web Application** — Browse and search labels at [app.colacloud.us](https://app.colacloud.us)
* **REST API** — Programmatic access to COLA data
* **SDKs, CLI, and MCP** — Use COLA Cloud from code, terminals, and AI assistants
* **Bulk Data License** — Full dataset delivered to your warehouse
