# Custom REST Catalogs

The custom REST catalog integration allows Immuta to make a [defined set of API calls](/2024.3/integrations/catalogs/reference-guides/custom-rest-catalogs/interface.md) to a Custom REST service you develop to retrieve metadata. The Custom REST service receives Immuta's calls, and then collects the relevant information and delivers it back to Immuta.

The diagram below highlights the main feature of Immuta's Custom REST Catalog integration.

Through a Custom REST Catalog, you can build and maintain your own solutions that provide metadata required to effectively use Immuta within your organization.
