Quick Start

📘

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• API access has been enabled for your account by request. Please contact your Account Manager or email us at [email protected].
• You have generated an access token.

The ability to interface with your data model through a programmatic interface unlocks many interesting possibilities for data developers and engineers. APIs can return information that can be used in various user-defined scenarios, such as automating deployments and integrating with third-party cataloging tools.

In this Quick Start, we will walk through the required steps for obtaining the latest schema information for a given project—such as might be the case when integrating with a cataloging tool like Alation, Atlan, and Colibra.

Please review the prerequisites before proceeding. You can use any client for performing this exercise or the interactive commands in this documentation which we'll be using in the examples.
