Overview
A concept in Visier is a design object that uses dimensions, properties, and other concepts to reclassify existing data into new groups. Use Visier APIs to create, update, and delete concepts or retrieve your existing concepts. For more information about concepts, see Concepts.
The Concepts API improves on the existing concept-related Data Model API endpoints with the ability to filter your GET requests to specific concept types or analytic objects, and the option to create, update, delete concepts.
Note: The Concepts API is currently limited to process concepts and selection concepts.
You can use the Concepts API to:
- Retrieve a list of all concepts
- Retrieve all the concepts for a specific analytic object
- Create new concepts
- Update existing concepts
- Delete concepts
Tip: If you submit API requests for changes that cause a project to publish to production, each request is individually published to production, resulting in hundreds or thousands of production versions. We recommend that you use the ProjectID request header to make changes in a project. For more information, see Projects API.
