Using AEP API to retrieve metadata for standard and custom schemas/classes

[GabrielaNa1]

Hi,

Hi, I am quite new using AEP and the API.

I configured Postman as indicated in this document: Set up Developer Console and Postman | Adobe Experience Platform

I managed to successfully run oAuth: Request Access Token (from Identity Management Service collection).

I also listed the classes using Schema registry API -> Classes -> List Classes (CONTAINER_ID=global) from Adobe Experience Platform collection and it lists the classes I also see in the UI.

I also want to see the custom classes - defined by me in the UI - and tried the same Schema registry API -> Classes -> List Classes with CONTAINER_ID=tenant. However, this time I get an error=403, "GET access denied for this resource from access control". What permission are required for this one to work?

Another question: if I use Schema registry API -> Schemas -> List schemas (CONTAINER_ID=global), it returns a result, but quite honestly, I don't know where that is coming from: the names of the classes in the result payload are nothing that I can see under Schemas in my environment. Any idea what is returned?

Hi Gabriela, 

I'm a member of the Experience Platform documentation team. I hope that some of our product documentation links might help you resolve your issues:

I think that for the first question the answer likely lies with missing permissions to access that specific resource.

See these docs for help:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/landing/platform-apis/api-authenticat...

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/access-control/home#permissions

Maybe giving the API user access to the View Schemas and/or Manage Schemas would help. Be sure to tell the developer to read those docs/view the video carefully since I think there is a nuance about giving the API user the required access permissions.

Another question: if I use Schema registry API -> Schemas -> List schemas (CONTAINER_ID=global), it returns a result, but quite honestly, I don't know where that is coming from: the names of the classes in the result payload are nothing that I can see under Schemas in my environment. Any idea what is returned?

For the second question, do these links help clarify?

Hi Victor, thanks for your reply. Part of the question - related the permission to see custom schemas and classes - that was resolved, I can now list everything.

I will check the links you provided for second part and I will let you know.
