Using the GoodData Entity API

To configure a data source via the GoodData Entity API, make an API call to the ../api/v1/entities/dataSources endpoint. Here's an example:

Shell

curl $HOST_URL/api/v1/entities/dataSources \
-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.gooddata.api+json" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.gooddata.api+json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
-X POST \
-d '{
    "data": {
    "type": "dataSource",
    "id": "<unique_id_for_the_data_source>",
    "attributes": {
    "name": "<data_source_display_name>",
    "url": "jdbc:mysql://<SINGLESTORE_HOST>:<SINGLESTORE_PORT>/<SINGLESTORE_DBNAME>",
    "schema": "<SINGLESTORE_DBNAME>",
    "type": "SINGLESTORE",
    "username": "<SINGLESTORE_USER>",
    "password": "<SINGLESTORE_PASSWORD>"
}}}' | jq .

On a successful API call, the server returns a response similar to the following:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "dataSource",
    "id": "<unique_id_for_the_data_source>",
    "attributes": {
      "name": "<data_source_display_name>",
      "url": "jdbc:mysql://<SINGLESTORE_HOST>:<SINGLESTORE_PORT>/<SINGLESTORE_DBNAME>",
      "schema": "<SINGLESTORE_DBNAME>",
      "type": "SINGLESTORE",
      "username": "<SINGLESTORE_USER>"
    }
  },
  "links": {
    "self": "$HOST_URL/api/v1/entities/dataSources/<unique_id_for_the_data_source>"
  }
}

For more information, refer to GoodData API documentation.

The following table lists the minimum permissions required for the SingleStore database user to perform the respective task:

Task	Minimum Permission Required
