# Consuming Data From the Stream Program-controlled

In this section, you will learn how to consume data from the stream program-controlled. If you chose to consume data by setting up an application, Kafka provides two main libraries for this:

#### Kafka Plain Consumer API

- [https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#consumerapi](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#consumerapi).

#### Kafka Streams API

- [https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#streamsapi](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#streamsapi).
