Repository

You can operate data in your Timeline repositories using API requests. Timeline API allows you to upload data to existing repository tables and execute already configured to-do lists. Though not all repository actions are accessible through API endpoints, the existing ones allow you to optimize and possibly automate your data upload processes.

For example, you want to upload a table to a Timeline repository from a 3rd-party application that does not have a separate connector. With the help of Timeline API, you can eliminate extra manual steps and transfer data between the two systems directly, using respective endpoints. In this case, a data manager will only need to pay attention to the mandatory table structure requirements, and the table configuration can be changed on Timeline's side using repository operations by a separate user.

Users with any role in the repository they want to interact with can do it using API for data-related tasks.
For details on roles in Timeline repositories, see Accounts, User Roles & Permissions > Repository Scope.
For general information on Timeline repositories, see ETL in the Cloud.

Before you begin, make sure that you have implemented the supported OAuth grant flow to authorize requests.
For details on request authorization in Timeline API, see Authentication.

In this section you will find some possible scenarios which might help to get an understanding of what actions in projects can be performed with Timeline API:

Important. It is mandatory to have the Timeline API data source enabled for the target repository of any API interaction, otherwise, your requests will fail.

Repository path parameters

There are several parameters whose values you need to provide in endpoint paths. Below, you will find a list of Repository-related parameters with a description of how to find proper values for them.
