Purview Graph API
Hello. I'm trying to find information on the Purview Graph API and it's endpoints. It looks like the endpoints aren't posted publicly and are listed within an admin console. Can someone help me with how to view the endpoints?
Also, are the graph API endpoints capable of reading and creating assets into Purview?
To answer your first question, the endpoints are publicly documented, they're just not part of the Microsoft Graph API. The API you'll want to use for data catalog assets is the Purview Data Plane REST API, which is Atlas-based. Your specific endpoint can be found directly in the Azure portal by navigating to your Purview account → Properties → Atlas endpoint. From there the endpoints follow this pattern:
- Classic portal: https://{accountName}.purview.azure.com/catalog/api/atlas/v2/...
- New portal: https://api.purview-service.microsoft.com/catalog/api/atlas/v2/...
To answer your second question, the Microsoft Graph API endpoints cannot read or create data catalog assets. That functionality lives in the Purview Data Plane REST API mentioned above. It's worth noting that data asset APIs for the newer Unified Catalog experience are still on Microsoft's roadmap, so there is a known gap there for now.
