We’re excited to announce the release of Decube’s Public API, designed to empower  data teams to take control of their data governance workflows. With this release, we’re making it easier than ever to manage glossaries, lineages, and user groups programmatically, enabling greater flexibility, efficiency, and scalability.

What’s New in the Public API?

1. Manage Glossaries and Manual Lineages Programmatically

With the newly available Public APIs, developers can:

  • Add, update, and delete glossaries in bulk without navigating the approval workflow for each entry.
  • Update manual lineages with ease, especially when dealing with multiple relationships. This capability is a game-changer for teams managing complex data ecosystems, as it reduces time and effort while maintaining precision.

Even better, all actions performed via the API are securely logged in the audit log, tagged with the user’s API key for full accountability and transparency.

2. User Group Management Made Easy

For organization admins, managing users has never been more straightforward. The Public API allows admins to:

  • Add and deactivate users seamlessly.
  • Streamline onboarding and offboarding by integrating Decube into existing workflows, reducing the manual overhead of managing user roles and access permissions.

This feature is especially valuable for teams aiming to automate user management tasks, ensuring smooth operations and compliance with internal policies.

Why This Matters

Simplified Workflows for Developers

By enabling programmatic control over key data governance tasks, Decube’s Public API eliminates repetitive manual steps, allowing developers to focus on higher-value work. Whether it’s bulk-uploading glossaries or updating lineages manually, the API ensures these tasks are performed faster and more efficiently.

Empowering Organization Admins

For admins, the API simplifies user management by aligning Decube’s functionality with existing internal systems. Onboarding and offboarding become streamlined, reducing errors and saving time, all while maintaining robust security through audit logging.

Transparency and Accountability

Every action performed through the API is logged in Decube’s audit log, ensuring full traceability and accountability. This feature not only enhances security but also supports compliance requirements for organizations handling sensitive data.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next?

This release is just the beginning. We’re already working on expanding the Public API to include:

  • Data Quality Scores: Retrieve and analyze data quality metrics programmatically.
  • Monitor Configuration: Set up and manage data quality monitors directly through the API.

With this release, we’re reinforcing Decube’s commitment to providing tools that enable data teams to build trust, efficiency, and scalability into their workflows. Stay tuned for these upcoming features that will further enhance the flexibility and power of Decube’s platform.
