Triggers allow you to automate the execution of your data workflows based on specific conditions, such as scheduled times (defined by cron expressions).

Documentation Provider Profile APIs.io OpenAPI GitHub

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

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

This API exposes 6 operations across 5 paths, and defines 77 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 Workflow triggers 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 Workflow triggers 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.
