Data Catalog API

The Data Catalog in the Infor Data Fabric API Suite provides a REST service with API methods to perform these actions:

  • Retrieve a list of all existing objects in the Data Catalog.
  • Register object metadata for JSON and DSV objects.
  • Retrieve metadata for JSON and DSV objects.
  • Retrieve a list of BOD nouns.
  • Retrieve noun properties for BODs.

Interface and consumption methods are exposed through the Data Catalog API service registered within the API Gateway Suite for Infor Data Fabric. Details for each method are available in the Swagger documentation within the /datacatalog/v1 endpoint.

Note: As part of ongoing improvements, Data Catalog is now part of the Data Fabric application. The Data Catalog APIs in the Infor ION Suite are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The same APIs are available in the Infor Data Fabric API Suite through the /datacatalog endpoint. You must transition to this version to ensure continued support and access to the latest features.

The POST /v2/noun API from the Infor ION Suite is now available as POST /v1/noun in the Infor Data Fabric API Suite. The POST /v1/noun API currently available in the Infor ION Suite will not be migrated to Data Fabric. If you are using either version of the noun API, review your implementation to ensure compatibility with the updated endpoints in Data Fabric.
