    Agree current functionality is quite useless. Will not go live towards end-users with Purview before a solution exists.

    This feature will probably help to realize most of the functionality you are looking for.

    I've also heard that the official API for the Unified Catalog side is coming soon, though I don't know timelines and don't have any expectations.

    Until then, you wait, or try to use the https://github.com/olafwrieden/unifiedcatalogpy. This also doesn't have requests yet though.
