To enable programmatic control over its objects, the Trifacta Wrangler Platform supports a range of REST API endpoints across its objects. This section provides an overview of the API design, methods, and supported use cases.

Most of the endpoints accept JSON as input and return JSON responses. This means that you must usually add the following hearders to your request:

Content-type: application/json
Accept: application/json

The term resource refers to a single type of object in the Trifacta Wrangler Platform metadata. An API is broken up by its endpoint's corresponding resource. The name of a resource is typically plural, and expressed in camelCase. Example: jobGroups.

Resource names are used as part of endpoint URLs, as well as in API parameters and responses.

The platform supports Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations on most resources. You can review the standards for these operations and their standard parameters below.

Some endpoints have special behavior as exceptions.

Create

To create a resource, you typically submit an HTTP POST request with the resource's required metadata in the request body. The response returns a 201 Created response code upon success with the resource's metadata, including its internal id, in the response body.

Read

An HTTP GET request can be used to read a resource or to list a number of resources.

A resource's id can be submitted in the request parameters to read a specific resource. The response usually returns a 200 OK response code upon success, with the resource's metadata in the response body.

If a GET request does not include a specific resource id, it is treated as a list request. The response usually returns a 200 OK response code upon success, with an object containing a list of resources' metadata in the response body.

When reading resources, some common query parameters are usually available. e.g.:

/v4/jobGroups?limit=100&includeDeleted=
