Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

The access token received from the authorization server in the OAuth 2.0 flow.

Path Parameters

id
string
required

string identifier of an object in a namespace, following the Lance Namespace spec. When the value is equal to the delimiter, it represents the root namespace. For example, v1/namespace/$/list performs a ListNamespace on the root namespace.

Query Parameters

An optional delimiter of the string identifier, following the Lance Namespace spec. When not specified, the $ delimiter must be used.

Body

application/json
location
string
required
identity
object

Identity information of a request.

context
object

Arbitrary context as key-value pairs. How to use the context is custom to the specific implementation.

On a request, it carries caller-provided context to the implementation. On a response, it carries implementation-provided context back to the caller.

REST NAMESPACE ONLY Context entries are mapped to and from HTTP headers using the header. prefix:

  • On a request, any entry whose key starts with header. is sent as an HTTP request header with the prefix stripped. For example, the entry {"header.Authorization": "Bearer abc"} is sent as the request header Authorization: Bearer abc.
  • On a response, every HTTP response header is returned as an entry whose key is the header name prefixed with header.. For example, the response header x-request-id: abc123 is returned as the entry {"header.x-request-id": "abc123"}.
id
string[]
mode
string

There are two modes when trying to register a table, to differentiate the behavior when a table of the same name already exists. Case insensitive, supports both PascalCase and snake_case. Valid values are:

  • Create (default): the operation fails with 409.
  • Overwrite: the existing table registration is replaced with the new registration.
properties
object

Properties stored on the table, if supported by the implementation.

Response

Table properties result when registering a table
