Accessing Data on Demand Endpoints

The Anzo Data on Demand service enables users to generate Open Data Protocol (OData)-based feeds that can be used to access graphmarts programmatically via a RESTful API or from third-party business intelligence tools such as TIBCO Spotfire, Tableau, and Microsoft Power BI.

OData facilitates the creation and consumption of queryable and interoperable RESTful APIs in a simple and standard manner. The protocol enables web clients to use simple HTTP messages to publish and edit resources that are identified using URLs and are defined in a data model. OData shares some similarities with JDBC and ODBC. Like ODBC, OData is not limited to relational databases. The Anzo Data on Demand service follows the OData Version 4.0 specification, which defines the standard URL conventions, query options, and a metadata schema that describes the data model.

The topics in this section provide information about accessing Data on Demand endpoints and using the Anzo ODBC and JDBC drivers.
