Validate & Results

Run on-demand validation of data contracts and manage execution results. Validation checks schema compliance, semantics rules, and quality expectations.

Validate a Contract

Trigger on-demand validation of a data contract. Returns a DataContractResult with status for each validation dimension. POST /v1/dataContracts/{id}/validate

string

required

UUID of the data contract.

Validate by Entity

Validate the effective contract for a specific entity. If the entity only has an inherited contract from a data product, a local contract is materialized to store results. POST /v1/dataContracts/entity/validate

string

required

UUID of the entity.

string

required

Type of the entity, for example table, topic.

Execution Status Values

Status	Description
`Running`	Validation is in progress
`Success`	All validations passed
`Failed`	One or more validations failed
`PartialSuccess`	Some validations passed, some failed
`Aborted`	Validation was aborted due to an error
`Queued`	Validation is queued for execution

List Results

Retrieve execution results for a contract. GET /v1/dataContracts/{id}/results

string

required

UUID of the data contract.

integer

default:"10"

Maximum number of results to return (0–10,000).

integer

Return results after this epoch timestamp (milliseconds).

integer

Return results before this epoch timestamp (milliseconds).

Get Latest Result

GET /v1/dataContracts/{id}/results/latest Returns the most recent validation result.

Add a Result

PUT /v1/dataContracts/{id}/results Programmatically add a validation result (useful for external validation pipelines).
