What REST API capabilities are available for external integration?

• A. They provide programmatic access to Ontology queries, dataset operations, AIP agent interactions, and platform administration.
• B. They only expose read-only Ontology metadata.
• C. They support only dataset upload and download.
• D. They enable real-time streaming data directly into dashboards.

Answer: (A)

REST APIs for external integration are designed to give you broad programmatic control over Foundry, not just one narrow capability. They let external systems query and navigate the Ontology to discover schemas, entities, and relationships, and they enable performing operations on datasets—creating, reading, updating, and managing data and metadata as part of automated workflows. They also expose endpoints to interact with AIP agents, so you can trigger, monitor, and control automation or AI-driven tasks from outside Foundry. In addition, there are administrative endpoints for managing users, roles, configurations, and other platform governance functions, enabling end-to-end integration and lifecycle management.

This breadth goes beyond options that imagine only read-only Ontology metadata, or only dataset upload/download, or only streaming data into dashboards. The REST API surface supports programmatic access across discovery, data operations, automation, and administration, which is what external integrations typically require.
