Dataphin:Create API

Last Updated:Nov 18, 2025

Dataphin lets you create APIs using five methods: direct data source connection, service unit APIs (using SQL or a codeless UI), logical table APIs (using SQL or a codeless UI), API registration, and service orchestration. Each node serves a different purpose. This topic describes the purpose of each API node.
