Abstract: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the next major space science observatory and will complement and extend the discoveries that the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has made so far. NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) have participated together in the design, construction and operations definition of this great space observatory that will allow astronomers to understand the Early Universe, evolution of galaxies over the time, the stellar life cycle and the properties of both Solar System and extrasolar planets, including the search for the building blocks of life. Providing astronomers with an easy access to observations that will lead to such a set of top-level discoveries requires a robust and user-friendly access. Being a fully Table Access Protocol (TAP) based archive, the eJWST Archive provides also several means to accelerate science by providing users access with dedicated python modules in packages such as an eJWST-specific Astroquery module and searches based on the ADQL query language.
