API endpoints

The Data Cataloging REST APIs include several API services for monitoring data and performing other management tasks.

IBM Spectrum Discover provides the following REST APIs:
  • An API for working with a DB2® warehouse
  • A policy management API and an autotags API
  • A connection management API
  • An application management API
  • A resource-based access control (RBAC) API

The endpoints of each API have a characteristic basic syntax. In the following code blocks, <spectrum_discover_host> is the host name or IP address of the API server:
