OpenAPI overview

Updated at:

Dataphin enables you to integrate your applications with the platform by using OpenAPI. To ensure service stability, Dataphin applies different throttling levels to its APIs.

Prerequisites

  • To use the API, you need an account and an AccessKey. This enables you to access the API by using client tools, such as a Software Development Kit (SDK) or a Command Line Interface (CLI). For details, see Create an AccessKey.

  • OpenAPI uses an RPC-style signature mechanism, which allows a program to call a function or method in another program as if it were a local call. For details about the signature, see Request structure and signature mechanism. Because manually generating the signature is a complex process that can take approximately five business days, we recommend contacting Dataphin technical support for assistance with the integration.

Limitations

  • OpenAPI is currently in public preview. API calls are free of charge during the public preview period. To use OpenAPI, contact Dataphin technical support.

  • You cannot use RAM roles to call OpenAPI.
