array

List of owners assigned to the storage service.

Show properties

string

UUID of the owner entity.

string

Type of owner entity, for example user, team.

string

Name of the owner entity.

array

Fully qualified name of the assigned domain.

array

Classification tags applied to the storage service.

Show properties

string

Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/services/storageServices instead of POST to perform an upsert. If a storage service with the same fullyQualifiedName already exists, it will be updated; otherwise, a new service is created. The request body is the same as POST.

curl -X PUT "{base_url}/api/v1/services/storageServices" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... same body as POST ... }'

PUT will not return a 409 conflict error if the entity already exists — it will update the existing entity instead.

Bulk Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/services/storageServices/bulk to create or update multiple storage services in a single request. The request body is an array of create request objects.

curl -X PUT "{base_url}/api/v1/services/storageServices/bulk" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '[
    { "name": "s3_datalake", "serviceType": "S3", "connection": { "config": {} } },
    { "name": "gcs_analytics", "serviceType": "GCS", "connection": { "config": {} } }
  ]'

Error Handling

Code	Error Type	Description
`400`	`BAD_REQUEST`	Invalid request body or missing required fields
`401`	`UNAUTHORIZED`	Invalid or missing authentication token
`403`	`FORBIDDEN`	User lacks permission to create storage services
`409`	`ENTITY_ALREADY_EXISTS`	Storage service with same name already exists (POST only)
