Updates to the REST API
Review the latest updates to the REST API and associated
representations. The APIs for data connectors and recipes are now generally available.
Import Data with Wave Data Connectors
Wave data connectors for importing data from non-Salesforce sources are now supported in the API through the following endpoints.
- /wave/dataConnectors
- A collection of Wave Data Connectors.
- /wave/dataConnectors/${connectorId}
- Returns data connection properties.
- /wave/dataConnectorTypes
- A collection of Wave data connector types.
- /wave/dataConnectors/${connectorId}/sourceObjects/${sourceObjectName}/fields
- A list of source fields of a particular source object.
- /wave/dataConnectors/${connectorId}/sourceObjects
- A list of all source objects that the named data connector knows about.
- /wave/dataConnectors/${connectorId}/sourceObjects/${sourceObjectName}/data
- Source object data represents data that the data connector knows about. When a source object is replicated into Wave, it can be used to create datasets.
- /wave/dataConnectors/${connectorId}/sourceObjects/${sourceObjectName}
- A source object represents a specific category or type of data that the data connector knows about. When a source object is replicated into Wave, it can be used to create datasets.
- /wave/dataConnectors/${connectorId}/sourceObjects/${sourceObjectName}/dataPreview
- A Source Object Data represents data that the Data Connector knows about. When a Source Object is replicated into Wave, it can be use to create Datasets.
- /wave/dataConnectors/${connectorId}
- Returns data connection properties.
Prepare Datasets with Recipes
Data preparation recipes are now supported in the API. A dataset recipe is a saved set of transformations, or steps, to perform on a specific source dataset or replication.
- /wave/recipes
- A list of data prep recipes.
- /wave/recipes/${id}/file
- The recipe’s file content.
- /wave/recipes/${id}
- A data prep recipe.
