REST API simplifies your interaction with the data stored on the Talend Data Catalog server by using a number of methods or request types.

You can access all REST API documentation pages based on Swagger and run requests on the repository, glossaries and users.
You need to enable the REST API help by:
  • selecting the Enable REST API Help checkbox from the Application Server tab in Setup.bat in the installation directory.
  • using the command line Setup.bat -we mmdoc.

REST API calls are logged in the catalina.log and only if the Debug logging option is enabled.

Before you begin

  • You have enabled the REST API help.
  • You have been assigned a global role with the REST API Access capability.
