This component is complete and can be used. The interfaces will be supported until the function is removed from the project via the deprecation process. There will be ongoing extensions to this function, but it will be done to ensure backward compatibility as far as possible. If there is a need to break backward compatibility, this will be discussed and reviewed in the community, with a documented timeline.

Connection Maker API

The Connection Maker API is a REST API that enables the caller to maintain and query connections, connector types and endpoints.

  • Connector Type Management: Defining and maintaining connector types, including support for templates.
  • Endpoint Management: Managing endpoints and their association with network addresses.
  • Relationship Management:
    • Linking connections to connector types and endpoints.
    • Managing embedded connections within other connections.
    • Linking assets to connections to define how to access the asset.
    • Linking endpoints to IT assets to represent where they are deployed.
  • Discovery and Search: Finding connections, connector types, and endpoints by name, network address, or through search strings.
