  • You must have an application to send RESTful API requests to Data Cube.

  • You must obtain an authentication token from the Web Console web service using the POST Login API. For more information, see REST API - Authentication: POST Login.

  2. In the left pane, click the connector group to view the data sources for that connector.

  3. On the Data Sources (connector) page, click the name of the data source you want to view.

  4. In the upper right of the page, click REST API.

  5. In the GET request section, in the Response Format list, select the desired format of the response.

  6. In the gray syntax box, copy the request header details, and then in your REST client application, paste then into a GET request.
