Creating a collection instance

First create a collection and define the template in KADA via the Admin portal.

Use the properties field from the Get collection template to map the properties values to the property id.

<COLLECTION ID> Use Get collection template to find the collection id

First create the collection instance

curl --location --request POST 'https://<domain>/api/collectioninstances' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
  "collection_id": "<COLLECTION ID>",
  "description": "Open information",
  "name": "Public",
  "properties": {
    "1": "Public",
    "2": "Open information",
    "-1": "",
    "-2": []
  }
}'

Linking the collection instance to a table.

<TABLE ID> the table being linked to the collection

<COLLECTION INSTANCE ID> the collection instance being linked.

curl --location \
  --request PUT 'https://<domain>/api/tables/<TABLE ID>/related?object_id=<COLLECTION INSTANCE ID>&relationship=MEMBER_OF' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}"

Creating manual lineage to an upstream table

<TABLE ID> this is the downstream table. Use Get to find the table id.

<UPSTREAM TABLE ID> this is the source table. Use Get to find the table id

curl --location \
  --request PUT 'https://<domain>/api/tables/<TABLE ID>/related?object_id=<UPSTREAM TABLE ID>&relationship=SOURCE_FROM' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}"
