Update a semantic type with REST API (Talend Cloud)

[yome1]

Hello,

I saw that it is possible to update a semantic type by using a REST API (Talend Cloud).

I was able to get all the existing semantic type with the first operation (get /categories)

https://tds.eu.cloud.talend.com/semanticservice/swagger-ui.html

But when i try to upload a file i have an error (not login) and i was not able to understand how to connect (using the login in swagger).

If someone had already done that, please help

Hi Guillaume,

See this documentation page as an example: https://help.talend.com/reader/39NzetoCUZMHcAnJtQuxxg/vKvzhGGzOM6kzcEx73d7Rw

Hello Gwendal,

Thank you for your comment, i saw this documentation but i didn't understand how to login into the swagger page and add the token to the request to upload the file.

Is it possible to do it in this page or may i use another tool like postman? (Note that i can not use ESB feature from Talend as it is not into the version i use).

Thank you for your help.

Hello Guilaume,

First, were you able to generate an access token from profile preferences page:

Then:

• Fill the token name field
• Click "Generate"
• Copy the value displayed in the modal dialog

When you completed these steps, open Postman and create a new request:

 

I hope this will help.

Please let me know if you have any further question.
