API details

The API details page provides the API's Basic Information, Technical Information, Parameter Information, Sample Response, and Instructions. When the API is a Script Mode, the additional Code tab is also displayed.image

Area

Description

Click Edit API to open the editing window in the API's workspace. For more information, see API testing, publishing, and version management and Register an external API service.

Note

If your account is not a member of the API's workspace, contact the workspace owner and ask them to add your account as a member with the Developer role. For more information, see Manage permissions on workspace-level services.

This area shows the following API information:

  • Basic Information: Includes details such as the API's Views, Number of Calls, API ID, Workspace, Owner, Created At, Last Updated, and Description.

  • Technical Information: Includes details such as the API Type, Request Method, Response Type, Data Source Type, Data Source Name, and Table Name.

This area shows the following API information:

  • Parameter Information: Shows the Request Parameters and Response Parameters of the API.

    • Request Parameters: Includes details for Common Request Parameters and API Request Parameters, including Parameter Name, Parameter Type, Parameter Position, Sample Value, Default Value, Description, and Label.

    • Response Parameters: Includes details for Common Response Parameters and API Response Parameters, including Parameter Name, Parameter Type, Sample Value, and Description.

  • Sample Response: Before you publish an API, if you test it and select Save the correct response example automatically during the test, the sample response is updated based on the test results. For more information, see Test an API. The content and structure in the Sample Response demonstrate the API's response format.

  • Lineage Information: Shows the complete data lineage among data tables, APIs, and apps. The upstream data lineage for DataService Studio APIs supports the following data source types: Hologres, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, AnalyticDB for MySQL 3.0, and AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL.

    Note
    • A API Generation is created by encapsulating a data source or table. Therefore, its data lineage includes data tables, the API, and apps.

    • A Register API is created by encapsulating a backend address. Therefore, its data lineage includes only the API and apps.

    • Data lineage is generated and updated on a T+1 basis.

  • Instructions: You can Edit the notes or View Versions to review historical changes.

  • Code: This tab appears only when the API is a Script Mode. It lets you view the custom query code (such as SQL) written by the developer. The tab is not displayed for other API types (wizard-mode APIs, registered APIs, or orchestrated service APIs); for wizard-mode APIs, you can review the SQL in the DataService API development editor.

    Note

    If you locate a script-mode API by searching for a code snippet in the Data Map global search box, the system automatically lands on the Code tab.
