Data Source API Reference Guide

This page describes the dataSource endpoint, through which users can subscribe to data sources, make unmasking and query debug requests, and manage data source tasks. To create data sources, see the specific handler endpoints.

Note

Additional fields may be included in some responses you receive; however, these attributes are for internal purposes and are therefore undocumented.

Data source workflow

  1. Search data sources and data source details.
  2. Access data sources and make data source requests.
  3. Manage data source requests.
  4. Update data sources.
  5. Delete a data source.

Response Schema

Attribute Description
noVisibilities boolean If true, the data source has no row-level security or purpose-based restriction policies applied to it.
dataSourceVisibilitiesCount integer The total number of possible visibilities the given data source has.
userVisibilitiesCount integer The number of visibilities the current user can see for the given data source.
masked array Masking information for the data source, including metadata, name, type, and actionType.
dataSource integer The data source ID.
dataSourceName string The data source name.
additionalFilters array Policy information for the data source, including customWhere, differentialPrivacy, eventTimeColumn, minimization, time, filterSeconds, and isOlderOrNewer.
