# Get Component Instance

[Catalyst NoSQL](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/nosql/introduction/) is a fully managed non-relational, NoSQL data storage feature that enables you to store the semi-structured, unstructured, and disparate data of your applications. Catalyst supports document-type data storage in the key-value pair based JSON format. 

The Catalyst NoSQL Python SDK package enables you to perform CRUD data operations on your NoSQL tables in your project. You can fetch the metadata of your NoSQL tables, create NoSQL items of various supported data types, and insert, update, fetch, or delete items in a specific table. You can also query tables or indexes of tables by specifying query conditions.

### Create a NoSQL Instance

A component instance is an object that can be used to access the pre-defined configurations specific to a particular component. 

You can create a NoSQL object to perform SDK operations in Python as shown below. This will not fire a server-side call. We will refer to this nosql instance in various code snippets of working with NoSQL.

The `app` reference used to create the NoSQL instance is the Python object returned as the response during the [SDK initialization](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/python/v1/setup/#initializing-the-sdk). 

```python
 #Create a NoSQL instance
nosql = app.nosql()
```
