Data Governance made
easier with APIs

DataGalaxy's web API lets you automate repetitive tasks
and efficiently build integrations between DataGalaxy and your tools.

Integrate fast

Use the DataGalaxy API to import and update up to 250,000 objects per request in your metamodel.

Here, the following JSON data is sent to the import endpoint to create a database representation in DataGalaxy web app:
