OpenMetadata Containers API

A Container is an abstraction for any path(including the top level eg. bucket in S3) storing data in an Object store such as S3, GCP, Azure. It maps a tree-like structure, where each Container can have a parent and a list of sub-folders, and it can be structured - where it contains structured data, or unstructured where no schema for its data is defined.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of OpenMetadata Containers 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.
