Data Integration Service REST API Overview

Use the Data Integration Service REST API to send REST API requests to the Data Integration Service. You can use the REST API to automate tasks in a CI/CD pipeline, such as version control operations, application deployment, application updates, and testing.
To view the REST API requests that you can use and the parameters for each request, access the REST API documentation through the Data Integration Service process properties in the Administrator tool. For information about accessing the documentation, see Accessing the REST API Documentation.
The following table describes the different request categories that you can view when you access the REST API documentation:
Category
Description
Objects
Requests to perform operations on design-time objects.
Applications
Requests to perform operations on applications and on run-time objects in an application.
Mapping Service
Requests to perform operations on deployed mappings.
Utilities
Requests to run Data Integration Service utilities. Utilities are extended capabilities that the Data Integration Service provides to help you maintain objects during the development process.
For example, the Data Integration Service can comparen two objects and return a report that identifies differences.
Some REST API requests accept a query as a request parameter. The objects that the query returns are the objects that the request operates on.
For example, when you run a request to tag objects, you specify a query. The query determines the objects that are tagged.
