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.
Task Name | Objective | Node Link |
Creating an API in Direct Data Source Connection Mode | This pattern allows for the creation of an API directly from the data source using SQL. | |
API from a service unit | Creates an API from a service unit by writing SQL statements or configuring parameters in the codeless UI. | |
API from a logical table | Creates an API from a logical table by writing SQL statements or configuring parameters in the codeless UI. | |
API Registration | Registers an existing service with the service platform for unified management. | |
You can create an API using service orchestration | Service orchestration combines developed APIs to create composite APIs. |
