# Data model

> Learn about the Endor Labs data model.

Objects are persistent entities within the Endor Labs system that represent the results of your scans. Specifically, they can describe:

* The projects and package versions that Endor Labs scanned.
* The results of the scans, including **ScanResults**, **Findings**, and **Metrics**.
* The context used for the scan (for example, main branch vs. pull request).
* The policies used for the scans.

To create, modify, or delete objects, you need to use the Endor Labs REST API - Either indirectly with the endorctl command-line tool or directly with the REST API.
