Cognite Sequences API

A sequence stores a table with up to 400 columns indexed by row number. There can be at most 400 numeric columns and 200 string columns. Each of the columns has a pre-defined type: a string, integer, or floating point number.For example, a sequence can represent a curve, either with the dependent variable x as the row number and a single value column y, or can simply store (x,y) pairs in the rows directly. Other potential applications include data logs in which the index isn't time-based.To learn more about sequences, see the [concept guide](https://docs.cognite.com/dev/concepts/resource_types/sequences).

Cognite Sequences API is one of 90 APIs that Cognite publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Sequences. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 12 operations across 11 paths, and defines 100 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version v1.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://{cluster}.cognitedata.com/api/v1/projects/{project}.

Authentication & Security 5

Cognite Sequences API declares 5 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (OpenID Connect or OAuth2 token) (oidc-token). It supports OAuth 2.0 (oauth2-client-credentials) using the clientCredentials flow, exposing 1 scope. It supports OAuth 2.0 (oauth2-auth-code) using the authorizationCode flow, exposing 1 scope. It supports OAuth 2.0 (oauth2-open-industrial-data) using the clientCredentials flow, exposing 1 scope. It supports OpenID Connect (org-oidc-token) discovered at https://auth.cognite.com/.well-known/openid-configuration. By default, every request must be authenticated.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Cognite Sequences API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
