Source

Use the Catalog API to retrieve information about sources and the child objects they contain, as well as to create, update, and delete sources.

note

Dremio supports a number of different source types. Each source type has the same parameters except for the parameters within the config object. The available parameters in the config object are different for each source type. The examples on this page use an Amazon S3 source to demonstrate the available requests and responses for sources. Read Source Configuration for information about the available parameters in the config object for each supported source type.

When you use the Catalog API to create a new source, the response includes a state object that describes the status of the source as shown in the example response above. The state object contains the following attributes:

status String

Status of the created source.

Enum: good, bad, warn

Example: good


suggestedUserAction String

Recommended action to take, if any, based on the status of the created source.


messages Array of String

Status message, if any, for the created source.

Retrieving a Source by ID

Retrieve a source and information about its contents by specifying the source's ID.

Method and URL
GET /api/v3/catalog/{id}

Parameters

id Path   String (UUID)

Unique identifier of the source that you want to retrieve.

Example: 2b1be882-7012-4a99-8d6c-82e32e4562e4


include Query   String   Optional

Include a non-default attribute in the response. The available value for the include query parameter is permissions. For more information, read include and exclude Query Parameters.

Example: ?include=permissions


exclude Query   String   Optional

Exclude a default attribute from the response. The available value for the exclude query parameter is children. For more information, read include and exclude Query Parameters.

Example: ?exclude=children


maxChildren Query   Integer   Optional

Specify the maximum number of child objects to include in each page of results. Use in concert with the pageToken query parameter to split large sets of results into multiple pages. For more information, read maxChildren Query Parameter.

NOTE: The maxChildren query parameter is not supported for filesystem sources.

Example: ?maxChildren=25


pageToken Query   String   Optional

Specify the token for retrieving the next page of results. Must be used in concert with the maxChildren query parameter: the first request URL includes maxChildren set to the maximum number of child objects to include in each page of results. If the source has more child objects than the specified maxChildren value, the response includes a nextPageToken attribute. Add the pageToken query parameter with the nextPageToken value to the request URL to retrieve the next page of results. Do not remove or change the maxChildren query parameter when you add pageToken to the request URL. Read pageToken Query Parameter: User-Specified Maximum for more information.

NOTE: Dremio ignores the pageToken query parameter for filesystem sources.

Example: ?pageToken=cHAAFLceQCKsTVpwaEVisqgjDntZJUCuTqVNghPdkyBDUNoJvwrEXAMPLE
