OverviewCopy link to clipboard
The Cloud Database Management REST API provides programmatic access to the Appian-provided Cloud database so you can automate configuration steps as part of your DevOps process.
With this API, you can manage various aspects of the cloud database, such as user credentials for the Enhanced Data Pipeline (EDP), without the need to log in and manually update those values.
This page explains how to make API calls and authenticate requests.
EndpointCopy link to clipboard
There is one endpoint available for managing the Appian-provided Cloud database: /cloud-database-management/v1/edp-credentials/<edp-username>.
The API's base URL is unique to your Appian environment. It is formatted as https://<environment hostname>/suite. For example, if your hostname is mysite.appiancloud.com, the base URL would be https://mysite.appiancloud.com/suite.

AuthenticationCopy link to clipboard
You authenticate client requests to the API with an API key or an OAuth token.
To use either of these authentication methods, your administrator must first configure the method in the Admin Console.
Note: To update a user password, the Service Account associated with the access token or API key must be a member of the Database Administrators system group.
Using an API keyCopy link to clipboard
To use an API key to authenticate requests, set the appian-api-key header with the API key as the header value.
