Sensitive Data Discovery (SDD) API Reference Guide

Note

In previous documentation, rule and pattern are referred to as classifier or identifier, and framework is referred to as template.

Workflow

  1. Create a pattern.
  2. Create an identification framework containing one or more rules.
  3. Search for pattern or identification frameworks.
  4. Apply an identification framework to one or more data sources.
  5. Run SDD on one more more data sources; tags are applied to columns where rules were found.
  6. Update patterns or identification frameworks.
  7. Delete patterns or identification frameworks.

Create a pattern

Note

To run this pattern against your data, ensure it is added to a framework.

Apply identification frameworks to data sources

Endpoint

Method Path Purpose
PUT sdd/template/apply Apply an identification framework to a set of data sources.

Query Parameters

None.

Payload Parameters

Attribute Description Required
template string The name of the identification framework to apply to the data sources. null to clear current framework, and the data source will use the global framework. Yes
sources string The name of the data sources to apply the framework to. Yes

Response Parameters

Attribute Description
success boolean When true, the request was successful.

Request example

This request applies the MY_FIRST_FRAMEWORK framework to the Public Case data source.

curl \
    --request PUT \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer dea464c07bd07300095caa8" \
