Accessing the APIs
You can use the following URL to view the list of REST APIs exposed: <CatalogAdmin>:<port>/access/swagger-ui.html#/
<CatalogAdmin> represents the URL of the machine where you installed Catalog Administrator. <port> represents the port number configured for the Catalog Service.
You can use the following URL format to call the REST APIs: <Type of HTTP method> http://<CatalogAdmin>:<port>/access/2/catalog/models/<REST API>. The models directory includes all the REST APIs exposed for retrieving and updating information related to models. You can replace the models directory with data directory to call the REST APIs exposed to retrieve information about objects.
For example, to call the REST API GET 2/catalog/models/associationKinds, use the following URL: GET http://<CatalogAdmin>:<port>/access/2/catalog/models/associationKinds
You can use any standard HTTP client or use the Java client provided with Enterprise Data Catalog to call the REST APIs.
You can download the Java client and the source files with the Javadocs from the following locations:
- •Java client. <CatalogAdmin>:<port>/access/2/files/client.jar
- •Source files and Javadocs. <CatalogAdmin>:<port>/access/2/files/client-sources.jar
