REST API versions

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

supports the platform REST API version 2 and version 3 resources, and service-specific resources.

You can log in to

Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services

using the platform REST API version 2 or version 3 login resource. The version of any subsequent resource that you use does not need to match the version of the login resource that you use to log in.

Note the following differences between REST API version 2 and version 3 calls:

Format: You can use the following formats depending upon which API version you use:
Version 2 supports XML and JSON calls.
Version 3 supports JSON calls.
Login URL: Use one of the following login URLs:
For version 2, use
https://dm-<POD region>.informaticacloud.com/ma/api/v2/user/login
.
For version 3, use
https://dm-<POD region>.informaticacloud.com/saas/public/core/v3/login
.

Your POD (Point of Deployment) region is based on the location of your
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
data center. Use one of the following POD regions:
For North America, use
us

For Europe, use
em

For Asia, use
ap

The POD region is included in the URL you receive when you register with
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
.
Base URL: The login response includes the base URL that you must include in subsequent calls.
The base URL includes the following components:
The name and region of the POD that your organization uses, for example, usw3.dm-us.
The
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
domain, informaticacloud.com.
The internal service that manages the API calls, for example, saas.

The following example is a base URL for an organization on the usw3.dm-us POD:
https://usw3.dm-us.informaticacloud.com/saas; In the login response, the attribute that provides the base URL depends on the API version that you use to log in. For example:
In a version 2 response, the attribute name is
serverUrl
.
In a version 3 response, the attribute name is
baseApiUrl
.
Request URL: The URL that you use in requests differs between the version 2 and version 3 resources, for example:

For version 2 resources, use
<serverUrl>/api/v2/<REST API resource>
, for example:
https://usw3.dm-us.informaticacloud.com/saas/api/v2/activityLog

For version 3 resources, use
<baseApiUrl>/public/core/v3/<REST API resource>
, for example:
https://usw3.dm-us.informaticacloud.com/saas/public/core/v3/schedule
Session ID: The login response includes a session ID that you must include in headers during the session. You can use the same session ID for version 2 and version 3 resources. In the login response, the name of the attribute for session ID depends on the API version that you use to log in. Use one of the following attributes:
For version 2 resources, use
icSessionId
in the header.
For version 3 resources, use
INFA-SESSION-ID
in the header.
