The Data Hub API provides access to information that is managed by SAS Visual Investigator. This API facilitates describing data that resides in either internal writable databases or external customer-controlled read-only databases. Once the data definitions are provided as entity types, the data becomes accessible within SAS Visual Investigator. This API also provides mechanisms for fetching individual entity records that were defined by the entity type definitions. <br/> <br/>
