Polaris API Specifications

Polaris provides two sets of OpenAPI specifications:

• polaris-management-service.yml - Defines the management APIs for using Polaris to create and manage Iceberg catalogs and their principals
• polaris-catalog-service.yaml - Defines the specification for the Polaris Catalog API, which encompasses both the Iceberg REST Catalog API and Polaris-native API.
  • polaris-apis - Contains the specifications of Polaris-native API
  • rest-catalog-open-api.yaml - Contains the specification for Iceberg Rest Catalog API

Generated Specification Files

The specification files in the generated folder are automatically created using OpenAPI bundling tools such as Redocly CLI.

These files should not be manually edited (except adding license header). They are intended for preview purposes only, such as rendering a preview on a website.

Whenever the source specification files are updated, the generated files must be re-generated to reflect those changes.

Below are steps to generate bundled-polaris-catalog-service.yaml

Install redocly-cli

npm install @redocly/cli -g

Generate the Bundle

redocly bundle spec/polaris-catalog-service.yaml -o spec/generated/bundled-polaris-catalog-service.yaml
