Lets get started!

Learn how to use BigID programmatically through a series of tutorials going through commonly automated tasks.

About the API

BigID was designed as an open platform. Any action that can be performed in our UI can also be done programatically. This allows you to connect anything and everything to the data discovery capabilities of your BigID system. No matter your affiliation (or lack thereof) with BigID, the API is here and open for you to use.

Before developing, be sure to see our best practice guide to get started on the right path.

+==About the API==
+BigID was designed as an open platform. Any action that can be performed in our UI can also be done programatically. This allows you to connect anything and everything to the data discovery capabilities of your BigID system. No matter your affiliation (or lack thereof) with BigID, the API is here and open for you to use.
-The most common use case for the BigID API is to automate repetitive tasks, like loading data sources.
