Overview

APIs that conform to REST principles are known as REST APIs. These APIs allow users to extract, create, modify, or delete information in the system through REST Web Services. 

In the context of the Enterprise Data Catalog (EDC), REST APIs are employed to extract information from models and objects as well as to update these models and objects. This functionality enhances the flexibility and efficiency of managing data within the EDC, allowing for seamless integration and interaction with the catalog's resources.

The Enterprise Data Catalog (EDC) provides two categories of APIs: Default and Internal. Users can utilize these APIs to gather information and update various components:

  • Default APIs: These are used for accessing and managing catalog object details, product information, business terms, object reviews, object comments, object certification, lineage details, and more.
  • Internal APIs: These are used for handling resource configuration, model control, connection assignment control, data control, and other internal functionalities.
