Question

What the different types of APIs available for read and write of Metadata and Data that can be used ?


Can someone share the list of different types of APIs available for reading and writing of Metadata and Data that can be used along with their GraphQLs ?

Can you explore more on this? 

 

From what I can understand, you are curious about what GraphQL Calls you can use to see what Metadata you can Extract?

 

If so, their GraphQL Playground is a great place to start. It allows you to view the schema of how their graphql is configured, and assists in creating your own graphql calls. You can also use “Developer Tools” (in chrome at least) while in Ataccama and view exactly what graphql calls and variables they are using to populate metadata through the UI.


I need the different types of APIs available for read and write of Metadata and Data that can be used. Would you be able to share the list of them ?

Hi ​@Apurva Kapoor , the typical API for Ataccama is GraphQL, hence ​@ThomasPro suggestion to try out the GraphQL Playground. I don't know of any REST API that you can use to read or write metadata.

Another option that you likely want to explore is the usage of One Desktop. In a graphical interface you can define reads and writes of metadata.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Albert

 


Hi ​@Albert de Ruiter - So, would you be able to share the list of all GraphQL’s for reading and writing of Metadata ?

@Apurva Kapoor Listing all of the graphql endpoints for working with Metadata would be way too long on this thread.

 

What I was mentioning before - the GraphQL playground that you have - will give you this information. your graphql endpoint should be <your url>/playground

 

Once you open this, the “schema” will define all of the nodes that you can drill into, and what metadata you are able to pull back from the tool.
