Source

The Source API enables you to manage the sources that are supported in Dremio. You can add, retrieve, update, and delete sources. Sources are of entityType: source.

The primary Arctic catalog is created when you add a Sonar project and provides data management capabilities for your project. The primary Arctic catalog is considered a source entity within the API.

note

The source object contains the same attributes for all source types except for the config object, which is different for each source type. The examples on this page use an Amazon S3 source to demonstrate the available endpoints. For configuration information for each source, see Source Configuration.

Example: 676e73e0-8b51-44d0-972d-ef80c29ac0c6


type String

Identifies the source type that you are configuring. The source type determines the config parameters that display. Read Attributes of the config Object for more information.

Retrieving a Source by Path

Get information about the source using the source's path.

Retrieving a Source by Path
GET /v0/projects/{project-id}/catalog/by-path/{path}

Parameters

project-id Path   String (UUID)

The unique identifier for the project that contains the source.

Example: 02d36975-73eb-47ed-9bb5-de73060380f6


path Path   String (UUID)

Source's location within Dremio, using forward slashes as separators. For example, for the source "Samples," the path is Samples.
