Get GUIDs for the tables with popularity over 90% (Top 10 percent of most used tables)

GET https://api.production.getselectstar.com/v1/tables/?popularity=90-100&order=-popularity&search_name={tablename}&last_queried_on__gte=2022-11-04T0:00:00

When you want to get the GUID for a list of tables with popularity over 90%, you can use the tables API command with popularity parameter.

To learn about popularity, see Popularity.

popularity - If you want to search for tables based on popularity, include this parameter. You will need to provide a comma separated list of popularity ranges (inclusive), which can include integers from 1-100, like 1-10,90-100 , which in this case would be the bottom 10 percent and the top 10 percent, respectively. In the example above, popularity=90-100 will search for tables with popularity 90% or higher, i.e. in the top 10 percent.

order - If you want to specify the ordering for the results, include this parameter. Provide a comma separated list for ordering by multiple fields and a preceding - indicates reverse order. Supported fields: ['description', 'name', 'popularity']. In the example above, -popularity will sort results in desc order by popularity.

search_name - If you want to specify a search term i.e. table name, include this parameter.

If you want to filter objects by last_queried_on, use these parameters -

last_queried_on__gte - gte stands for greater than or equal. You can also use gt, which is greater than.

last_queried_on__lte - lte stands for less than or equal. You can also use lt, which is less than.

Get GUIDs for the tables with no usage

GET https://api.production.getselectstar.com/v1/tables/?no_popularity&search_name={tablename}&updated_on__gte=2022-07-06T0:00:00

When you want to get the GUID for a list of tables with no usage, you can use the tables API command with no_popularity parameter.

no_popularity - If you want to search for tables with no usage, include this parameter. No popularity (popularity: null) means the table was not queried in the last 90 days or since the day Select Star started ingesting usage data.

search_name - If you want to specify a search term i.e. table name, include this parameter.

If you want to filter objects by updated_on, use these parameters -

updated_on__gte - gte stands for greater than or equal. You can also use gt, which is greater than.

updated_on__lte - lte stands for less than or equal. You can also use lt, which is less than.

Lineage

To learn more about data lineage, see Data Lineage.

Get lineage for a table

GET https://api.production.selectstar.com/v1/lineage/{guid}/?max_depth=20&direction=right&mode=table

When you want to run an impact analysis for all the downstream tables and dashboards, prior to a code change in your ETL job, you can use the lineage API command.

max_depth - If you want to specify depth of lineage to load, use this parameter. Range includes 1 to 20 or you can specify the value as max. max is a special value that is used as alias for 20.

direction - If you want to specify which direction of lineage to load, use this parameter. If this field is skipped, source & downstream lineage will be calculated. In the example above, direction=right will display all the downstream lineage for the given table.

mode - If you want to limit lineage calculation to table or column only, use this parameter. This should reduce payload size as well as computation time but is not fully supported in all Lineage objects (e.g. Looker Lineage doesn't support it fully).
